BEHRINGER LM DRUM – CLASSIC DIGITAL DRUM MACHINE
OVERVIEW
The Behringer LM DRUM is the ultimate drum machine for recreating the iconic sounds of the 80s, featuring an authentic 8/12-bit sampling sound engine that delivers the essence of over a hundred legendary drum sounds, including classics designed by Roger Linn like the LM1*, LM2*, and LM9000*. Beyond nostalgia, the LM DRUM offers modern versatility with an integrated line input for recording and storing your own samples. Its analogue circuitry, including original 3320 VCF and 2164 VCA components, adds rich warmth and organic character to your beats. With a 16-voice architecture and independent level and pan controls for each voice, this powerful drum machine lets you craft complex, dynamic drum arrangements with ease.
The LM DRUM also features a powerful 64-step drum sequencer that supports poly-meter, step-repeat, note-repeat, real-time triggering, track-mute and track-solo. You can create intricate patterns and grooves with the 16 velocity-sensitive drum pads with after touch or use the encoder to edit parameters such as Tempo, Swing, Probability, Flam and Random. You can also record, edit and playback the analogue filter cut-off via automation, adding movement and expression to your drums.
The LM DRUM is not only a great drum machine, but also a versatile studio tool. It has 16 independent analogue outputs for external processing or recording your rhythms as multi-track audio. It also has an integrated FX bus that features Wave Designer and dual-mode Analog Filter with per voice assignment, giving you more sonic options and creative control. Up to 8 songs and 128 patterns can be stored on LM DRUM and can be imported/exported during playback. You can also use the Pattern Mode and Song Mode to arrange your patterns into full songs and chain your songs together for live sets and expanded compositions. The unique Auto Scroll feature enables improvisation in all modes, letting you tweak your drums on the fly and surprise the crowd at every show.
