Vice Black Friday pricing takes 61% off UJAM's 1980s drum machine plugin, so it costs $19 until Jan 10, 2027.
Vice is a Beatmaker series title built around the drum machine sound of the '80s. UJAM says it pairs that classic character with modern usability and tight, mix-ready processing, aimed at synthwave, retro pop and other retro-inspired electronic grooves.
The core content, as the maker lists it:
The kits are handcrafted for the genre, so you load one and start playing. Each title also ships with multiple mix presets, and one click gets a beat sounding polished.
The built-in rhythms are genre-based styles packed with phrases you trigger in real time. You pick and play, with no programming needed.
If you land on a loop you like, drag the MIDI into your DAW. From there you can edit it or layer it with your own instruments.
A custom keyboard layout lets you assign loops and phrases to keys. You can perform and arrange in real time, triggering full grooves with a few keys.
The sample grid shows each drum sound. You can swap, preview and shape individual hits like kick, snare and hi-hat right in the plugin.
Vice runs inside the Beatmaker plugin, which UJAM says gives you every Beatmaker title you own from one place, with unified control and no separate instruments to load.
The intelligent browser sorts beats by tags such as mood, genre or BPM. You can preview kits and loops even from titles you don't own yet.
The advanced mixing page covers each track: volume, pan, filter, ambience and saturation, plus individual output routing inside the plugin.
Buying or upgrading any present Beatmaker product brings every Beatmaker title you already own up to the new plugin without extra steps.
Vice comes as VST 2, VST 3, AU 2 and AAX, all 64-bit only. The AU 2 version works only with Logic Pro X and newer.
Windows 10 and 11 are supported. On Mac, UJAM lists macOS Catalina (10.15) through macOS Monterey (12.5), on Intel and Apple silicon Macs (Rosetta and native). Earlier versions may work but aren't officially supported.
Minimum specs are 4 GB of RAM, 720 MB of free disk space and a 1280x768px display. If you move the.blob file to an external drive, UJAM recommends an SSD to prevent dropouts.
Delivery is a downloadable installer. You authorize with e-mail and password, either inside the plugin or through the ujam app.
