Beatmaker VICE

Inspired by some of the most legendary classic drum machines from companies like Linn, Roland, Simmons or Korg, VICE combines the sound aesthetics of the 1980s with contemporary sound fidelity.

Retro Futurism

What are the sounds that come to your mind when you think of the 1980s? Cheesy pop music? Big synths, punchy digital drums and lots of gated reverb? Exactly. Those style elements have been re-discovered by contemporary producers and in genres like Synthwave. VICE comes with everything you need to create drum tracks for anything from authentic ’80s to Synthwave.

The style elements of the 1980s have been re-discovered by contemporary music producers and in genres like Synthwave. Influenced by 1980s film soundtracks and video games and inspired by composers like Jean-Michel Jarre, Vangelis, and Trevor Horn, Synthwave contains 1980s clichéd elements. VICE aims at producers and musicians who want an easy and quick way to build drum tracks for the genre focusing on the music rather than the sound engineering.
