Oberheim DMX: Drum Machine Plugin by GForce Software

The plugin includes the Oberheim DMX sound sets from 1981 and 1983, along with the DX and Sequential Drumtraks kits. GForce has included many alternative variations within these kits, so you can move between the vintage originals and related sounds without loading separate libraries.

If you want a starting point, the library includes over 70 MIDI files with many classic recreations of well-known beats. You can use them as they are or edit them to fit your own arrangement.

Every track has its own Solo, Mute, Pan, Pitch, Decay and Gain controls, along with Delay and Reverb sends. These let you shape each drum voice separately before it reaches the mix.

The master channel adds a multi-mode filter, distortion and compressor. Use these to add depth, warmth or punch to the full drum bus. Velocity control, a GM map for your MIDI controller and MIDI Learn for programmable CC response help you play and automate the machine from your hardware or DAW.

The DMX suits producers who want authentic vintage drum machine tones in a modern workflow, especially in electro, pop, hip hop and retro-styled productions. The interface is fully scalable and includes a preset browser, so it works for quick sketches as well as detailed programming.
