DopeSONIX, formerly known as DopeVST, is an independent software company founded in 2011 that specializes in virtual instruments and plugins built specifically for hip-hop and electronic music production. The company was created to fill what its founders saw as a gap in the market — despite the abundance of general-purpose audio plugins and hardware, no developer had focused exclusively on tools for hip-hop beatmaking. The company rebranded from DopeVST to DopeSONIX while maintaining the same product focus.

The company's flagship product line is the Beat Machine series (Beat Machine 1, 2, and 3), a drum machine plugin designed for producers seeking gritty, authentic boom-bap drum sounds rooted in 1990s hip-hop. Alongside the Beat Machine series, DopeSONIX offers the Bass Engine line (Bass Engine 1, 2, 3, and Bass Engine 808), which covers bass sounds spanning decades of hip-hop production from jazzy upright tones to floor-shaking 808s. The catalog also includes genre-specific instruments like Soul Town (soul and funk), Dub System (reggae and dub), Hype: Future Sounds, LoFi, and Crate Digger, a sample-based tool. All plugins are available in VST and AU formats for both Mac and PC.

Dope VST Inc. has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Virtual Instrument and Drum Machine.
