The MininnDrum Black Friday deal takes 66% off this drum machine plugin from Audio Blast, bringing it to $29 until Nov 30, 2026.
MininnDrum is a drum machine VST inspired by the classic Linn Drum. It comes with three sound ROMs, a custom pad for your own samples, per-sound editing and a multi-output setup.
The three ROMs each cover a different slice of classic drum sounds:
The maker says this spread suits pop, electronic and retro-inspired music.
Every drum sound can be edited on its own. You can adjust pitch, volume and pan to fit each hit into your track.
The custom pad lets you load your own samples into your presets. Drums, bass or any other sound can sit alongside the ROM sounds.
Multiple outputs are available, with 16 stereo channels or aux outs to assign. Route the kick, snare and toms to their own channels and process each one on its own bus.
EQ, compression, reverb and the other processors in your DAW can then work on individual sounds. The maker says this adds punch to the classic drum sounds.
The Linn LM-1 Drum Computer was created by Roger Linn. It was the first drum machine to use digital samples of acoustic drums.
The maker lists Michael Jackson, Prince, Kraftwerk, Phil Collins, Genesis and Herbie Hancock among the artists who used it. MininnDrum adapts those sounds for modern producers.
On Mac, MininnDrum runs on macOS 10.13 or later, and Apple Silicon is supported. The Mac formats are AAX, Audio Unit, VST3, VST2 and CLAP.
On Windows, it needs Windows 10 or later, with AAX, VST3, VST2 and CLAP formats. Both platforms call for an Intel Core i5 or equivalent CPU and 2GB of RAM.
You need an internet connection to install and update the plugin. If you access it through a Rent to Own plan or the Beatport Studio membership, it installs and runs through the Beatport Access portal. That route needs an internet connection every 30 days to validate your license.
