Vermona DRM1 MKII Silver/Black

DRM1 MKII is not a box rhythms, but a drum sound expander.
One afternoon in, a MIDI Through and no midi out; normal, since the MKII does DRM1 gnre any given afternoon, what would be a midi out? Posts noon, he reoit your squenceur, are gate posts (note on, note off), and the INTERPRETATION messages as pulse (trig), so that you do not worry about the length of your notes noon. Note that the machine can be modified when purchased, to receive commands from your trig squenceur analog prfr ten TRIG are prvues the rear, and normally closed in the standard version twelve o'clock, ten TRIG Why? Because the machine dlivre ten sounds, rpart synthtiseurs eight analog percussion sounds and that's it. Rglages the factory are: channel 10 for the set and assigning a MIDI note number each sound, eg drum1: 36 (C1) drum2: 48 (C2) drum3: 41 (F1) Multi: 50 (D2), etc.. Fortunately we can change everything by handling carefully Describes. So you can learn mode, assign any MIDI note on any midi channel your eight slices.
INTERESTED audio connectivity: In addition to a master Stereo, every one is equipped with Stereo audio output, used in mono, in which case the corresponding sound will be subtracted from his total signal general; the contrary, if you use a cable Stereo-mono, the signal of the instrument apparatra both solo and in the mix. But intrt this connection is also to allow for an insert effect in the slice, thanks a Y-cable: the manufacturer offers the DAF-1 or PH-16 as an example.
By accepting heart-against FDI in any edition of the sys-ex paramtres is possible, we can stay in the logic designer of the craft and blame them for all of the same that it did not allow that affects a group of keys sound, Fawn CRER effects arpge or chromaticism; one notes his is a frustrating! O On an Average rating:

UTILIZATION

The arrangement of synthtiseurs is simple and clear: the three slices are the top ddies on drums, the synth quatrime is affecting a possibility to (relatively) tight, multi use ; the snare comes next, then two Hi Hat (closed and open) and then a clap. The manual, in English or German is clear enough.

SOUNDS

In beginners, it will tend to program sounds ralistes, to learn this type of synthse fairly dconcertante! And the sounds of drums are gnrs a sine wave, which varies in frquence, with its envelope and modulated by an LFO (max: 500 Hz), which is m CONTRL me in frequencies and intensities in a dtail: I have not Russian translation of the term needle pulse (if someone wants to give me the translation, thank you in advance) . Anyway I could get trs Djumbe beautiful sounds, with a sensation of vibration of skin, more than ralistes samples!
The sound of the snare, in contrast, is by the famous GNR needle tuft pulse by the filter with a noise, adds APRS (!) With excellent reverb and envelopes.
The cymbals seem a little dicrtes and yet they themselves are needed also in a mix! Bravo for the expression!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month and it matches what I expected: a synthtiseur analog ddi rhythms in complment what I use to replace or dj d others. Although I sr prfr the excellent facilities offered by a flash rom complment sound modules, with a midi in and out full, but this is not the same price! It's a pretty cool gadget, but may be unnecessary.

See below, very well explained!

I support the fact that there is no midi out, so we can set the knobs by noon, but frustrating to use great live.

UTILIZATION

Avail of knobs quite clear. It is very easy to create sounds without any notion of sound synthesis, when you start having it can really start experimenting with ...

Simple adjustments but manual imcomprehensible, let me explain:
I slaved a few days to assign channels to the notes of the master keyboard (including Hats, we must combine two times to open and close). I found it poorly explained, at least now I know to do but ... I began a little to the south.

SOUNDS

This is one of the only such expanders is also more a synth ... You can create a very good kick to the snare!

The sounds are really pechus! Very fluid .. nivo finally there's nothing to say!

One last thing, and it goes without saying, do not expect to recreate a realistic drumming, are purely electronic sounds!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two years.
I put a little time to begin to use it well, the conflict was that it really meant was the fiddling live, no midi out so no fine tuning in Cubase and the boundary lies in the fact that each human being has only one pair of hands.

With experience, there is nothing to say, it is great that machine, you can really create original drum sets, or again about a very punchy set of TR, we can also make SFX crazy , even bass lines. Finally a real machine that knows no limits ...
