Directly import your song stems from AI music platforms such as Suno or third-party stem separation tools such as Fadr. Convert the original performance to MIDI, regenerate or restore missing notes, and shape your sound with your favorite virtual drum and bass instruments. Export MIDI to your DAW.
A full-size editor that works through the song section by section.
Bass MIDI can snap to the original kick and snare.
Repair dropped notes or generate new patterns.
“Convert what was played.”
StrumWorks Studio detects the original drum and bass notes from your stems and converts each note into MIDI, while keeping the original timing and dynamics.
Example: replace the kick and snare in the chorus, note for note.
“Replace what was missing.”
When poor stem separation loses a sound, ReDrum intelligently suggests the missing notes from phrases that repeat in the section and in matching sections.
Example: the hi-hats that disappeared or went missing during stem separation filled back in from the groove.
“Choose a different pattern.”
When the stems fail to supply a usable part, or if you just want a different one, select a preset from one of our built-in grooves or auto-generate a new drum fill.
Example: select a measure and generate a drum fill.
All three can live in one song, even in one bar. Every note stays editable afterwards.
Add stems from any song and confirm which is kick, snare, hats, bass and the rest.
Find the downbeat and tempo, then mark Intro, Verse, Chorus and the other sections.
Use the tools you need, in any order. They all share one saved song project.
Easily compare original audio against the MIDI audio, then export drum and bass MIDI into your favorite DAW.
Load any drum or bass virtual instrument and Studio maps it for you so you don't need to move the MIDI notes.
StrumWorks already auto maps to the most popular drum and bass libraries when you load from one of our templates. Third-party instruments are sold separately and not affiliated with StrumWorks.
Quickly toggle between your virtual instrument and the original source audio in isolation. Easily match your instrument’s tone and performance to the original recording.
Leave Articulation on Auto, or choose how the notes are played: index or middle finger, ghost notes, hand mutes, harmonics, slap and pop, tapping, hammer-ons and pull-offs, slides and more.
Each articulation maps automatically to the bass instrument you have loaded, so the right sound plays without setting up key switches by hand.
Most editors give you one humanize or compress knob. Studio splits velocity into three separate decisions, so a part can become more consistent without becoming less expressive.
How evenly should each hit repeat, bar to bar?
Smooth evens out notes that are either too loud or too quiet, without destroying their function.
How much contrast between soft and loud?
Range controls the distance between soft and loud notes. Widen it for more contrast, or narrow it to even out the whole performance.
How hard should the part play overall?
Level raises or lowers the velocity of the entire performance, so you don't have to adjust notes one by one.
ReBass detects each bass note and lays it out on a piano roll under the bass audio, with the kick and snare alongside. Smart Quantize tightens the timing while keeping legato joins joined and intentional gaps open, and slides and mutes are chosen by name from the note menu.
Your kick and snare hits sit in their own lanes right under the bass waveform, so you can see and hear where each bass note should land, then use Snap to lock it to the drums.
Watch a song go from stems to an edited drum and bass part, then into the DAW.
Full StrumWorks Studio page →ReChart charts the entire song from the same project. It detects the chords and lines up the lyrics you supply with the vocal, so your chart is ready to export in your favorite format.
Turn the song into a lyric and chord chart in one step. Transpose it to the singer’s key, choose a layout for print, tablet or scrolling, add guitar chord diagrams, and fit the PDF to one to four pages on Letter or A4.
Automatic lyric alignment works with English lyrics and needs the optional Lyrics Tools download. ReChart doesn’t write lyrics or melody notation.
Each of these tools does part of the job well. Studio takes the whole song from stems to finished drums, bass and charts.

No. Studio starts from stems you already have: multitrack recordings, or stems you separated with another tool. Separate drum stems (kick, snare, hats and so on) give the most detailed results.
Yes. Studio loads the drum and bass virtual instruments you already own and maps them automatically, so you can audition your part through them and export MIDI that uses that instrument’s map. Switch to a different library at any time without changing the MIDI, for drums or bass.
No. Studio works with conventional recordings, multitracks and separated stems. If you made a cover or arrangement in an AI music service, you can bring its stems in too. Studio itself doesn’t use AI to write your parts.
A whole-song MIDI file with a track per drum plus bass, tempo information, section markers and the articulations from your chosen instrument maps. Your DAW’s import settings decide how tracks and tempo come in.
