The MininnDrum2 Black Friday deal takes 72% off this Linn-inspired drum machine plugin by Audio Blast, which brings it to $27 until Nov 29, 2026.
MininnDrum2 is the follow-up to Audio Blast's original Mininn Drum, and the maker says it draws on the Linn drum computers of the 80s. The big change is a built-in step sequencer, so you can sketch a groove without opening a MIDI clip in your DAW.
It pairs vintage-style digital drum sounds with a pattern editor and a small mixer, all inside one plugin. You can build a beat, balance it and bounce it without leaving the instrument.
The maker pitches it at house, techno, electro, hip hop, synthwave, disco, funk and other retro electronic styles.
The sequencer is a 16-step pattern editor with 32 pattern slots per preset. Each step takes its own velocity value, and a shuffle control adds swing to the groove.
Patterns are programmed with the mouse, which the maker describes as a fast workflow for trying drum ideas.
The sounds come from three ROMs, each with its own character:
The maker says all three keep the punch and texture of vintage digital drum sounds.
There are 128 factory rhythm presets, sorted into these styles:

Each sound has its own volume, tuning, panorama and velocity sensitivity controls in the mixer and tuning sections. That lets you set up the balance of the kit inside the plugin before it reaches your DAW's mixer.
MininnDrum2 includes a browser where all 128 factory grooves sit next to the presets you save yourself.
