Available for collection only from London E3.

This incredible, classic analogue drum module is in excellent condition, having been stored in my studio since I purchased it. It comes with the original box and power cable. Please note this is the MIDI version of this product so it does not have the trigger inputs.

Product description

Tradition

Since the mid-nineties, the DRM1 has been synonymous with electronic drum and percussion sounds based on analog circuitry coupled with an uncompromising control surface. The DRM1 MKIV continues this tradition.

The DRM1 MKIV’s structure

The DRM1 MKIV has eight channels that, like the components of a real drum kit, are specialized to produce specific percussive instruments:

• KICK: Covers a huge spectrum of bass drum sounds from soft to hard and from short to loooooong.
• DRUM 1 and DRUM 2: Toms, tom toms, metallic percussion sounds, wood blocks, bongos, kick drums and more.
• MULTI: Cowbells, Zaps, Laser sounds and Bongos.
• SNARE: All kinds of Snares including Rimshots.
• HIHAT 1 and HIHAT 2: Hihats, Cymbals and Triangles, each in open and closed versions.
• CLAP: Handclaps of all kinds.

Seven handy soft-grip knobs for controlling sound-related parameters, completed with a panorama and a volume control build the heart of each instrument channel. All in all, 73 control elements make the DRM1 MKIV a creative playground for your electronic beats’ phonetic realization.

Connectivity

The instrument channels can be triggered by MIDI via USB or DIN jacks.

A classic’s makeover

The MKIV-update starts with lovingly detailed improvements and optimizations to the instrument channels and ends with a complete overhaul of the power supply including the control center. Nevertheless, it remains a DRM1 and thus its original. A list with all changes to the DRM1 MKIV can be found here.
