Demo Note - The output of the LM-1 and the hardware DMX kits have been enhanced with EMT Reverb, EQ, and Tape Saturation. The GForce DMX is shipped with both clean and processed kits, many of these being used in the demo. Any perceptible sound differences between the hardware and software used in this demo are due to differences in sound levels and the presence of the EMT Reverb.

DMX = really cool BMX = wheelie cool

[@Psychlist1972]

Pleasantly surprised to hear you narrating this one :)

[@JohnSk82]

When I hear your voice on the start of a video I know quality will be 150% on the presentation .BMX = Dyno GT exclusively :P and not the other way around

[@RobertWrightOneManCovers]

Recognized Alex's involvement here immediately!❤

[@AlexBallMusic]

That dude gets everywhere.

[@watsonunlimitedmusic]

The DX was also the sound of 80s Dancehall, being the drum machine used by producers Steelie & Cleavie. So it can be heard on tracks by Super Cat, Shabba Ranks and many others.

[@RussellFeatherstone]

Instant buy without hearing demos. Gforece + oberheim dmx + officially licensed + the price was a no brainer

[@TheZombo66]

Duh excellent priced just got my copy sweet ❤️🥰🙏

[@brianmorton4127]

The DMX was used with custom ROM sounds on Boston's 3rd Stage album.

[@GeoffModulate]

Awesome plug-in. Immediate love. I've got a few samples of a DMX but they have never been what I'm looking for. THIS is the droid I am looking for.

[@M80-]

What a great drum vst, sounds awesome and the price is unbeatable.

[@macronencer]

Oh wooooooow! The Blue Monday Machine in software? Damn, just when my music budget had recovered :-S Blue Monday is one of those "trigger songs" for me, as it was playing loud in the concourse in 1983 when I first showed up at university. It kind of marks my transition to adulthood, and also brings the eighties flooding back in my head. Thank you for continuing to make such excellent plugins!

[@stephenfleming8030]

If Alex is punting it, you know it'll sound great.

[@domorewithsage]

Looks awesome and ably demonstrated by Mr Ball (as always)

[@spectralknights2]

Lindrum and Drumulator next please

[@Emiel1983Schoonoord]

Maybe you could say thank you first in stead of ordering something else immediately..

[@jerrymcpommes8473]

Awesome! I got two of these as hardware.

[@csaw49er41]

Alex Ball endorsed ? Take my $$!

[@RONNYMORRISMUSIC]

LOOOOOOVE everything you do. Solid work, and sounds that can be used in killer productions.

[@RobinRimbaudScanner]

Dusting off my polyester leisure suit and heeled booties to get downright funky with this. Groovy man, on yet another wonderful release!

[@ashfaq1999]

Great video alex. I had the oberhiem dx instead of the dmx but did play with dmx in a soho london music store back 1987. This software looks great, sounds just as good plus with the extra features. Believe the originals are selling upwards from £2000 plus.

[@ByteforceMusicGroup]

I used to own the hardware version back in the day.....but IM PUMPED ABOUT THIS IN A HUGE WAY!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤ I LOVE IT!!!

[@ChristopherJenkins73]

Purchased! Now the Linn Drum!

[@waxphantomscousin8278]

At first glance, the dmx is ticking all the boxes

[@pauly2929]

Bought and can’t wait to use… thanks Dave, Chris and all the gang.. and a huge thank you to Tom O.. ❤❤❤❤

[@PorchBass]

The Cure had one for 'Head on the door'

[@abielfernandezmusic]

OMG I love this drum machine, ¡Great job guys!, instant buy 😎

[@Wagoo]

The price made it an instabuy - nice one!

[@FLH3official]

Great idea to employ master Alex Ball, GForce. Excellent choice. Now we all wait for a video about the real thing on his channel, obviously 🙂

[@loweroctaves]

The Gods have spoken! Literally bought this minutes after discovering you just released this. Amazing! Thank you! You have become my favorite plugin creators🔊✨✨✨

[@polydata]

Awesome job with this one!

[@MixedByDotRob]

Yeah! Finally a real DMX in the box! Thank you, GForce! ❤

[@wrldonwill]

Got mind last night! I'm impressed with the work that went into the vst. Now all I need is a Clap Trap vst and a Linn 9000.

[@ChrisSmout]

Alex Ball at it again

[@InFamousProductions]

I'm hitting the "buy now " button. Having Alex make the vid, is an instant sell. That fine fellow knows how to make a retro groove. And I almost never buy emulation plugins.

[@stansteez]

Really enjoyed the hype-free presentation of this gem!

[@grahamjay7080]

Another fantastic 80s drum machine to my collection

[@RJJNY]

Will always associate with Keith LeBlanc, who passed away last month. A DMX master, the Sugar Hill instrumentals are an outer space funk genre all of their own.

[@wasntborntofollow]

Count with me! Greetings from Madrid City Spain!

[@MarcoS-pw9px]

Nice! Love it! LinnDrum please :)

[@atommachine]

Very nice. I love putting the Drumtrax samples in a 12 bit sampler , crunchy goodness❤

[@Janomix]

Excellent!

[@mugenDelta]

well done. the cop is returning to beverly hills :)

[@Paulcvids]

Really fun video! But you sequence it externally?

[@XxChrisxXBedofRazors]

Just bought it. Would be great though to have multiple outputs per drum, just to throw onto to a DAW's mixer inserts for extensive options. Hopefully this can be added, but it's own mixer and controls are just good enough to work with at the moment. Other than that, the DMX's simplicity and sound is just amazing. I love it.

[@NicolasMelis]

When you hear Alex Ball’s voice you know this will be good 🙌

[@hayward85]

What fab news!

[@acefstripe]

Great choice!

[@ZackYouTube]

🤯 great job!

[@JT-qc2nb]

The jam at 3:13 is HOTTTT.

[@CINIMA]

GForce on fire

[@dionysiaex5538]

Why does Dave Spiers sound like Alex Ball?

[@Drfresh1402]

Make all other drum machines at this quality and Im purchasing all of them.

[@mallery7]

Cheers Alex

[@origin178]

Excellent! This is exactly what is sadly missing from Arturia's V Collection. Where's my credit card...

[@julioerit]

Finally!!! Love this!! 🤍🤍🤍

[@mathumphreys]

Alex Ball!

[@ZozillaThaGreat]

oh yeah !!! my fav !!! No sequencer ? (no deal breaker , just strange)

[@alkaselzer5297]

The radio inside your car has also no wheels... 😉😎

[@HOLODECKPROJECT]

if i had to choose only one drum machine, this DMX of course! Instant Buy 😊

[@sternenherz]

Lovely

[@APERTURE_SC]

Oberheim enjoyers, we're eating goooood

[@jean-michelmurat8694]

Well done I'll get it once I' m back home. By the way since, you've included drumtracks sounds, would it be possible to get à Sequential Sixtrack VST , I like this synth but real one prices are so hight that I'm eager on getting a software alias.

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

Oh hi Alex, almost missed you there.

[@michaelfeiner]

LOVE!!! ❤

[@MPHORROCKS]

I love this and just bought it but can't seem to find the MIDI files you mention.

[@larsmclachlan239]

Nice 👏🏻

[@LuisTorres-qz5kr]

OMG, gotta get it....wait, DONE!

[@BrandonWells]

you steal the airrrr out of my lungsss you make me feeeeeeel it

[@pinkanimals]

Matrix-12, the ultimate Oberheim, can GForce tame the monster?

[@APERTURE_SC]

Even "just" the xpander tbh

[@alkaselzer5297]

Yes. - 10 years ago, Arturia tried it, but failed a bit...

[@henryhill92]

Yes, please. And also, something no one's ever tried, the Matrix 6. Incredibly underrated and unique sounding synth.

[@SynthStreet]

Noice!

[@DANTEFISI]

Alex!!!

[@deejaydiabolic]

Comes preloaded with 10 rapper D.M.X. barking "ARRFF" samples

[@jazzybeeff]

And how should be a drum machine plugin. User friendly. Everything on the right place.

[@Joemxma11]

Oh my 😦

[@henryhill92]

Really hoping you guys will do a Matrix 6/6R/1000

[@garyroberts2615]

What brand of controller can be best advised in conjunction with this ? as my controller has only 16 pads, also l found pads more responsive than say keys in midi.

[@dizmix]

🔥

[@bmaier490]

Gforce is so good to us 😭

[@JDiggiti]

i remember having to demo sounds by changing the chip . which meant taking the entire top off the machine

[@Kaspar_Houser]

GForce LinnDrum when?

[@RussArteaga]

Oooh who programed that demo? Mr Ball???

[@jeffblack8911]

Alex I have a question for you. If the DMX here has the chip set included. Does the sounds of Trevor Horns beat box come with. This? Also LL Cool J’s Original Rock The Bells? I’ve been trying to track them down for years and can’t find any sources!

[@Nomasiac]

😭😭 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@madagreement]

Alex Ball ! What are you doing here mate !

[@VTOLKits]

Please Make the Oberheim Matrix 6/6R/1000 with Editor 🧡🧡🧡🧡

[@RayTheProducer]

Yes, very nice and I want, but where is that Imposcar 2? Now that's the kinda 80s I'm interested in.

[@happyhogan40]

It's weird how the intro of this video had the beat of you wanna be startin somethin but you never mentioned Michal Jackson smh

[@HRave2008]

That is Alex Ball..

[@seachd2268]

Please do a software v.s.t. of the YAMAHA FS1R synth..

[@Duki1000]

nice :-)

[@dungalunga2116]

What is the track at 3:13 ?

[@ageshero]

I noticed when I sat down to play it at a keyboard it wasn’t mapped out in classic general midi really? Are there midi map presets?

[@GForceSoftware]

Yeah. You can switch to a GM style map in settings.

[@ruff2007]

Oberheim Matrix 6 And Ensoniq ASR-10 Would Be A Deal Breaker Peace.

[@jawoody9745]

Hand claps recorded in an Oberheim office....too funny!

[@kitsunegiblaze8022]

Ya wanna be startin' sumthin.

[@entropybentwhistle]

Dave sneakin’ up on us with the virtual gear is so unfair to my wallet.

[@garyroberts2615]

That would need some controller with all those features

[@StellarWorks2023]

Tasty ...

[@80ssynthfan48]

Done, but had to override a Windows security warning to install it.

[@homophonia1570]

Herbie Hancock Future Shock Drum Machine!!!!

[@mpmi7588]

Is that you Alex?

[@amadeuspaulussen]

At the risk of being annoying: I'm looking forward to potential Linux support in the hopefully near future! :)

[@GEELASOUNDTV]

What beat his use in begin. His sound familar

[@yournamehere7182]

Machine Drum
