The IconDrum Black Friday deal takes 50% off GForce Software's drum machine plugin, bringing it to $39.99 until Dec 1, 2026.
IconDrum is a drum machine plugin that pays homage to the Oberheim DMX, the machine behind the early 80s drum sound. GForce designed it to pair vintage drum sounds with modern in-the-box rhythm programming.
The maker says the original sounds are recreated and refined for clear, pristine playback while keeping the classic digital warmth.
The library holds 100 sounds, and GForce says all of the original machine's sounds are in there. Alternatives sit alongside them, so you can recreate a classic beat or build something new from the same palette.
You also get kits in two flavours: raw ones that keep the original character, and produced ones meant to drop straight into a mix.
The kit is twelve parts. Each channel gets pan, solo, mute, pitch, decay, a delay send, a reverb send, HP/LP filtering and gain.
The delay send is analogue-style, and the reverb send is the one the maker calls lush.
The master channel carries a 3-slot FX chain where you pick each slot yourself. The available effects are distortion, multi-mode filter, compressor, EQ, bitcrusher, gate and phaser.
GForce says this is how you get vintage-style warmth and punch on the bus while keeping the top end clean.
GForce points to a long list of 80s records built on the original hardware: Prince's "1999", Michael Jackson's "Thriller", The Human League's "Fascination", a-ha's "Take On Me", Madonna's "Lucky Star" and Billy Idol's "Eyes Without a Face". Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and Stevie Nicks' "Stand Back" are on the list too.
The included MIDI patterns are there as starting points. Load one, rework it, or rebuild a classic groove and push it somewhere new.
GForce says the interface suits beginners and experienced producers alike, across a wide range of styles.
