Pen-tapping percussion made for your DAW
LunchTable brings the nostalgic feel of school lunch table beat battles straight into your DAW. Instead of typical drum kits, it features pens, pencils, coins, hands and desktops, all captured across multiple layers for full velocity sensitivity. This gives you a natural, realistic response with every hit. Whether you're finger drumming or sequencing, you get the feel of live performance without the need for live recording.
Built for real-feel rhythms
Each hit in LunchTable is split into two elements, the impact and body, both of which you can control independently. This lets you tweak how sharp or full each tap sounds. Room and close mic blends give you control over the space and depth, while a built-in EQ helps you shape the tone quickly. It’s easy to create drums that feel close and dry or wide and ambient without leaving the plugin.
Quick workflow with deep customisation
With 116 preloaded grooves ready to drag into your DAW as MIDI clips, it’s easy to get beats going fast. The 12 one-shot pads can be triggered with any MIDI controller, perfect for finger drumming sessions. And if you want even more variation, you can randomise all parameters or introduce subtle randomness on each hit, keeping your grooves dynamic and less robotic.
Created in collaboration with Artist Fki 1$t
LunchTable was born from a creative partnership with platinum-selling producer Fki 1$t – known for his work with Post Malone, Travis Scott, Migos and more. After discovering BEATSURFING at a festival in Belgium, 1$t shared his idea for a drum machine that captured the energy of freestyle lunchtime beat sessions. Inspired by his memories of pen-tapping and cyphers, this plugin was developed to reflect that raw, in-the-moment vibe. The result is a tool designed to keep music fun, hands-on, and spontaneous, just like those early jam sessions on school desks.
