Beatmaker Vice
Beatmaker Vice has dropped to $9 at Audio Plugin Deals, down from its regular $56 asking price - an 84% discount that expires around April 5.
What it is
A drum machine plugin purpose-built around the sounds of the 1980s analog era. UJAM modeled it on the canonical machines of that decade: the Linn LM-1, Roland TR-808 and TR-909, Simmons electronic drums, and Korg rhythm units. The plugin ships with 10 drum kits drawn from those sources.
Key features
- Vice includes 30 playing styles and 460 MIDI patterns, giving you a substantial library of pre-built grooves to work from
- The standout control is the Time Machine knob, which sweeps from pristine studio-clean all the way to degraded lo-fi tape - useful for dialing in the right amount of vintage character without reaching for a separate saturation plugin
- There are 12 Smart-Mix presets for quick starting points, MIDI drag-and-drop so you can pull patterns directly into your DAW timeline, and individual outputs for routing each drum sound to its own channel
Who it's for
Producers making anything that draws on 80s aesthetics - synthwave, lo-fi, retro pop, or modern hip-hop that samples that era.
The deal
$9 at Audio Plugin Deals (down from $56). VST, VST3, AU, AAX on Mac and Windows. Expires around April 5.
