A lasting legacy into the heartbeat of music history
The GForce IconDrum pays homage to the legendary drum machines of the 80s that shaped the sound of countless hits. With its authentic recreation of these iconic sounds, the IconDrum lets you capture the essence of tracks like Prince’s "1999" and Michael Jackson’s "Thriller" while providing the flexibility to expand into modern genres. It includes all the original sounds plus a variety of newly created alternatives, giving you an extensive palette to work with. This makes it an ideal choice for both nostalgic recreations and forward-thinking productions.
Whether you’re drawn to raw, unprocessed kits or professionally produced options, the IconDrum’s sound library ensures that you can achieve the perfect tone for your tracks, inspired by the past but designed for the future.
Revisiting the past, redefining the future
Designed for creative minds, the IconDrum bridges the gap between vintage rhythm machines and modern production tools. Its extensive collection of MIDI files includes expertly crafted patterns inspired by the classics, offering a foundation for creating timeless beats. These patterns can be adapted, reimagined, or layered into modern productions, providing limitless creative potential.
The preset kits capture both the unfiltered essence of the original machines and refined, ready-to-go sounds. This duality makes the IconDrum a versatile tool for producers seeking to explore both retro and contemporary sonic landscapes without compromise.
An icon reborn, a new beat awaits
The IconDrum delivers a combination of classic tones and modern precision, ensuring every beat resonates with depth and clarity. Individual channel controls for pitch, decay, pan, and reverb allow for precise sculpting of each sound, while master effects like EQ, distortion, and compression provide the tools to craft a polished, professional mix.
This level of control ensures that every track can be customised to suit your style, whether you’re crafting a subtle groove or a bold, driving rhythm. By combining vintage sound with modern functionality, the IconDrum offers an unparalleled rhythm creation experience.
Limitless possibilities with seamless integration
With full MIDI compatibility, including a GM map and programmable MIDI CC response, the IconDrum integrates effortlessly into any production setup. Its scalable UI ensures usability across devices, while separate outputs provide advanced routing options for detailed mixing. Whether you’re producing in a home studio or on the go, the IconDrum adapts to your needs.
