The Vinylistik Black Friday deal takes 70% off BeatSkillz' drum machine plugin for Boom Bap beats, bringing it to $29 until Nov 25, 2026.
Vinylistik is a drum sampler and step sequencer aimed at the crate-digging, old skool sampler feel of the 90s. The kits suit Rap, HipHop, RnB and Boogie.
BeatSkillz lists Dr Dre, Pete Rock, Q-Tip, J-Dilla, DJ Premier, Afrika Bambaataa, Timbaland and RZA among its influences.
The plugin ships with a full library and a built-in effects section:
The factory library is sorted into Bank A to Bank D. Single-category hits are also grouped as Cymbals, Percussion slices and VinylFX.
The Kit page has 8 sample pads. Each pad gets its own volume, pan, pitch and release controls, plus sample trim, reverse, and low pass and high pass filters.
To swap a sound, drag your own file onto a pad or pick one in the built-in browser. WAV, aiff, FLAC and MP3 files can be loaded, with sample length limited to 5000 ms.
Any pad can be assigned to any MIDI note on a keyboard or controller. All controls are MIDI mappable with a right-click, and the pads come pre-assigned for the AKAI MPC Mini.
The multi-output sends each pad to its own DAW channel. That lets you run your own plugin collection on individual sounds.
The Seq page lists the 8 tracks down the left side with their sample names. Steps are toggled with a click, and you can drag across a row to place or erase triggers continuously.
Each row has clear, mute and solo buttons. Expanding a row opens per-step lanes for pitch (-12 to +12 semitones), note length, velocity (0 to 127), swing, reverb and pan.
Drag upward on a step to set its value, or hold the button and draw a shape across several steps. That gives a pattern movement from step to step.
A time division menu sets the step resolution. The MIDI Drop button lets you drag the current pattern into a MIDI or instrument track in your DAW. Switch the internal sequencer off and the pattern plays from the DAW.
