I Tried the LM Drum & LinnDrum - Here’s What Happened + (free samples)

[@EnervatedSociety]

It's a 8/12-Bit sampler with some cloned circuity, that kinda looks like, and operates a little like a LinnDum. It has LM1, LinnDum, Linn 9000, Sequential DrumTraks, Simmons SDS, and some other samples in it. It's also got a dual-mode analog filter, bitcrusher, various tricks in it's 64 step sequencer, wave designer, and some other stuff in it. Oh, and some decent I/O. All for $400. Taking into account that age plays a role in the sound of your particular machine, if something sounds a little off (they are samples) first make sure you're using the right samples, one bank mixes all the drums together. Consider tuning, filter, and velocity. If those aren't it, literally load a proper sample into the machine and that's as close as you're going to get. Also, by default the LM Drum is 12 bit at a sample rate of 24kHz. The LinnDum has 35kHz samples BTW. I don't even feel comfortable calling it a clone. It's quite different, and it's a lot more than a clone could be. It's a sampler.

Linn Drum’s toms are unmatched 🔥

[@EverettDudgeon138]

The LM Drum comes with different samples though including the LM1, Linn Drum, Linn 9000 and Sequential DrumTraks. All of which had different tom sounds. Not sure if these are the same samples because even the Linn Drum tom sounds in my Tempest sound closer to the Linn Drum in this video than the LM Drum.

Yeah I guess that’s an easy fix… but still nothing I like right out of the box though

Finally a demo with decent sound quality. LinnDrum clearly better. My cabasas never sounded as good as yours!!!

[@oscarvanderburgh9915]

To me… the LM sounds chopped… stiff and dull. But I guess it’s easily fixed by putting your own samples in. But in that case I could use other drum machines. However; somehow the same happened with your simmons samples! What made it sound so different!

Dude you've got like the bestest equipment :) The behringer LM drum sounds alright. Some drums seem to sound a bit dull in comparison to the Lindrum. From what I've heard of it's LM1 reproduction, that sounds a bit too dull as well. What is your experience?

[@AllenMichael]

Thanks my friend. It’s ironic that it can sound dull because a lot of the Behringer synths I’ve tried sound harsh in the higher frequencies.
