The Drum Machine That Changes Everything: Meet the Behringer LM Drum ( Part 1)

The Behringer LM Drum at a glance

With the LM drum, Behringer presents a clone of the most iconic drum machine from the pop, rock and Italo disco scene of the 80s, the Linn Electronics LinnDrum, which was produced from 1982 to 1985. Compared to Roland's TR classics, the sounds of the LinnDrum were simply closer to a drum kit, so that they were often and gladly used by numerous music greats of the time. Hits by Prince, Tears For Fears, Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel, Sting and Jan Hammer prove this all too clearly. The signal path of this 16-voice drum computer has a hybrid structure. The samples are of course digital and have a resolution of 8 or 12 bits. This doesn't sound like hi-fi, but technically it corresponds to the "crispy" sound for which the original is so highly regarded. The rest of the signal path is analog and consists of a 3320 filter and a 2164 VCA, for each voice, of course. Everything comes together in the opulent mixer section, with 16 faders each for volume and panorama, allowing a quick pre-mix directly in the device. The seven controls above the mixer section provide real-time access to the Tuning of snare, hi/mid/low toms, hi/lo congas and the Decay of the hi-hat. Further parameters can be edited for each instrument at Display. The LM Drum has a total of 109 drum sounds in its memory, including the Linn Electronics classics LM1, LM2 and LM9000 as well as some other popular drum sounds from the 80s. If you want a catchy "Uhhh!" Vocal sampel or a dry E3 Bass into the drum kit can record their own samples using the audio input.

Sequencer

The modernized sequencer has 128 patterns for your own rhythms, which can be up to 64 steps long. Odd steps can also be programmed individually for each track(polymetry). The indispensable groove parameters shuffle and flam provide more funkiness. As with the original, the rhythms are entered using the 16 large keys; however, the LM Drum uses velocity-sensitive pads. This allows for even more accentuated sound input and, above all, programming in the TR grid. The trigger function, which repeats a preselectable range (1, 2, 4, 8 steps) of sequencer steps in step repeat mode until the button is released, is absolutely performance-oriented. Alternatively, there is Note Repeat, which triggers the selected instrument in four speed levels; perfect for spontaneously adding variety to the pattern. Contemporary innovations such as programmable probability of drum triggers and a randomizer round off the sequencer features.

Analog effects

The main output has two special features: firstly, there is a switchable lowpass/highpass filter with manually adjustable Cutoff and resonance, and secondly the Wave Designer; a compressor-like effect that processes the attack and decay times. Depending on the setting, the signal becomes pumping, spongy or slightly chopped. Furthermore, the 16 individual outputs enable processing by external equipment such as a Delay or Reverb effect.
