Key Features
UJAM Beatmaker Vice is an authentic virtual drum instrument which builds on the classic sounds of '80s drum machines for modern producers and musicians. Given a new lease of life, classic drum tones of '80s pop and ballads have been repurposed and reinvented by modern composers into futuristic genres such as Retrowave, Synthwave and Futuresynth. Beatmaker Vice takes quintessential sounds from a bygone era from gated reverbs to digital sampling artefacts and more and enhances them for a new wave of producers and musicians. Combining over 30 unique playing styles with the sounds of era-defining drum machines, Beatmaker Vice lets you craft the grooves and patterns of future-retro genres with ease.
Presented in an intuitive and simple interface, Beatmaker Vice allows producers and musicians of all abilities to unlock production-ready tones instantly. Complex sound design processes are distilled into a streamlined set of tools including interchangeable drum kits, studio-quality mixing presets, multi-out routing capabilities and global mixing parameters, allowing you to carve a unique sonic signature with ease. The frustration-free design lets everyone from beginners to professionals lay down evolving, dynamic beats that move with your music, breaking away from traditional static loops and cut-and-paste samples. Perfect for taking your drums on a trip forward or backwards in time, Beatmaker Vice is the plug-in for you.

Futuristic or retro? Vice gives you both. A resurgence of classic '80s sounds has spread across modern productions, giving new life to tired drum sounds for a new audience. What was once restricted to the sounds of '80s pop and ballads has now been reinvented and transformed into a futuristic landscape in genres such as Synthwave, Retrowave or Futuresynth. Beatmaker Vice takes commonplace drum tones from a bygone era and brings them to new life, jam-packed with the punchy, digital sound behind a wall of gated reverbs to take your productions on a trip through time. Inspired by some of the most classic and well-remembered drum machines of the day, Vice turns your drum programming into a retro-futuristic adventure.
Found and heard in all corners of modern media from film soundtracks, video games and TV, contemporary Futuresynth sounds are here to stay. Inspired by classic composers from Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, and Trevor Horn, Beatmaker Vice takes existing sounds and makes them bigger and better than before.
Gone are the days of static loops and cut-and-paste samples from traditional drum machines and synthesizers for contemporary beats. A new wave of modern genres and styles has pushed the envelope on what the beat can do for a song, adding dynamism and movement to stale and lifeless tracks. Animated and automated, Beatmaker Vice supplies a plethora of different grooves and beats to craft your song with, each of which is entirely customisable to the requirements of your composition. 30 unique performance styles enable you to freely compose without limitation. Divided into song-specific sections, you can craft beats from start to finish in a matter of minutes by grabbing everything from intros, verses, choruses, breakbeats and outros to complete your composition. For experienced beat producers and engineers, further editing is employed with intuitive drag-and-drop MIDI, allowing you to go into the finer details of your beat and customise it to your exact needs inside of your DAW.
Traditional methods of beat creating can be uninspiring and challenging, hindering your creative process with endless parameter tweaking and deep menu diving. UJAM Beatmaker Vice evolves beyond these traditional norms and offers a new way to quickly and easily create classic, steady beats for retro-modern genres. A straightforward interface helps supercharge your workflow to maintain your creative spark, letting you get production-ready results instantly.
Each sound within Vice has been professionally designed to deliver era-appropriate tones instantly without the need for endless tweaking. Understanding the needs of modern engineers and producers, UJAM Beatmaker Vice includes a myriad of flexible tonal shaping options to create a unique sonic signature whilst maintaining the core sound of the virtual instrument. 10 distinctive drum kits have been carefully chosen from vintage drum machines to encompass the sound of classic pop along with modern interpretations from Futuresynth, Retrowave and Synthwave. Each of these kits can be mixed and matched to create a customised, hybrid setup to find the perfect sound for your project, no matter the style.
Preserving the ethos of optimised workflow, Beatmaker Vice features 12 onboard mixing presets to reshape and enhance the sound of your kit. Each mix preset has been professionally created to add extra punch, weight and sheen to your drums with one click. Vice is every producer's dream regardless of skill level, with a suite of one-knob master FX for global tonal changes without ever needing to open any other plug-ins. Saturation, maximise, ambience and filter sweeps are provided to explore your sonic creativity, helping to add the final touches to your customised sound design.
Key to the sound of modern-retro genres, Beatmaker Vice includes a proprietary Time Machine control that lets you send your drums through time. On one simple control, you can either turn back the clock to the early days of drum machine sampling of the early '80s, imprinting the artefacts and distinctive character to your sound. Alternatively, push the boundaries on what is possible with classic sounds by jumping into the future to unlock a heavily compressed, pumping and hyper-modern sound that's perfect for the next generation of Synthwave.
Built to follow the same ethos as the Virtual instrument series, Beatmaker expands into the realm of electronic music production. Hyper-focused on a specific style, each Beatmaker product gives you the quintessential sounds and grooves that make up the DNA of some of the most electronic dance music genres. Going far beyond what is possible with conventional loops and samples, Beatmaker provides comprehensive flexibility - just like you were in the producer's chair with a musician in your studio.
Crafted with professionally-created drum sounds, each title in the Beatmaker series has been hand-selected to offer production-ready sounds instantly. For users of all abilities, UJAM Beatmaker includes a plethora of sound customisation options, from pre-made mix presets to drum-kit customisation. All of this is presented whilst maintaining a sleek workflow to ensure you can make decisions quickly to focus on the creative aspects of your project.
