✅ That won’t happen. The release of any clone or replica had no price effect on the originals in the resale market.

[@georgegeez8708]

@vernellshelton90 I differ on that opinion. I've seen 808s and 909s drop in price. The cheapest 808 I saw 2 years ago sold for $1600. A 909 last year in my area went from $7000 to $5500.

[@OtisMacMusic]

can I ask how you got one already? I filled out an application years ago to make to test it out against my original LINN Drum and feature it on my KZbin channel (114k subscribers). Never heard back. I'd really like to try it out.

[@Bernd_Bruening]

I ordered the LM Drum from Thomann Germany in December and got it delivered last weekend. I didn’t do any beta testing for this drum machine, although I had an original LinnDrum borrowed from my friend nearby.

[@OtisMacMusic]

@@Bernd_Bruening oh wow! lucky. I just went on that website and it says "in stock within 13 - 17 weeks"

[@Bernd_Bruening]

The early bird catches the worm. Never mind, it’s worth the wait.

[@Gyrbae]

This thing is seriously dunking on my TR8S. From release you can upload samples from an app and play samples chromatically straight from the unit. It even has longer sample time, 5 minutes! It doesn't have multiple assignable effects though but considering there's 16 voice outs it's quickly remedied with addition of pedals. Also factoring the price of a mint unit, this is a pretty damn good deal.

[@snörre23]

Yep, i never went for a TR8S because of the small screen and terrible workflow importing samples, also cant sample - looks like this is what i have been waiting for since 1980. Didn't even know what a Linndrum was and absolutely don't care for the stock sounds but this will be great - in many months as my Thomann order says.

Yes, besides the step pattern and real time pattern mode there is a specific chromatic pattern mode

[@HatredPrime]

No.

[@wolfgangdevries127]

[@gcoudert]

No audio over USB, sadly. I've had to 'extend' my audio interface with a Behringer ADA8000 and buy lots of 3.5mm-to-6.35mm TS cables.

[@LEDBOO]

Love it. Thanks for sharing.🔥

[@lindabarteau9006]

Can external instrument sounds like bass and electric guitar be input and recorded onto the unit?

[@Bernd_Bruening]

Yes, the bass you’re hearing at the end is from my Oberheim OB-SX, tweaked with distortion fx and analog filter of the LM Drum

[@michaelkistenmacher]

you might need a preamp for passive instruments like Bass or guitar

[@mfbtunes]

Great video, but I miss the MIDI integration in a DAW. For example, can you use CC to control PAN, Gain, and other controls? Or use midi to select the sample bank.

Whats the routing like? On past behringers, using an individual out removed that pad feom the main out.

thank you for posting. I've been waiting a while for this machine. I gotta say I'm disappointed with the HH, Shaker & Tom stock sounds

[@rhythmicstorm1775]

what;s the point of that master filter if i use the individual out's?

[@RJJNY]

Can be useful if there's a particular sound or sounds you'd like use the filter (and/or wave designer) on, you can leave those routed to the main outs. I only use the wave designer on the RD-9 for the clap.

[@michaelpierce3264]

fantastic king how about the wave?

[@Bernd_Bruening]

I’ve ordered a wave from Thomann. Should be here in a couple of weeks

[@thishandleisalreadytaken66]

Just FYI, at 1:20 the LM1 sounds nothing like an LM1.

[@RJJNY]

The LM-1 kit sounds oddly muddy compared to the Linndrum, like the top end has been filtered. Plenty of good LM-1 samples available that could be substituted if they can't be tweaked to sound better.

[@ArsyEins]

have you tried importing some drumloops?

[@owenchaim610]

i'm also looking for what tuned down sample phrases sounds like, especially drum breaks.

Why is it LM drum. The original was Linn? Is the M to be like two nn's?

[@michaelkistenmacher]

quite a philosophical question, that no one except only Uli himself can answer 😀

AFAIK there was the LM1 at the beginning and after that the successor, which was simply named LinnDrum, not LM2 as a lot of people think. Officially there’s never been an LM2.

@@Bernd_BrueningYou hear it a lot though, especially from Europeans, for some reason? Roger Linn designed both models, but he had a business partner for the LM1, so he included both their names. When he made the Linn Drum, it was Roger Linn by himself, so there was no need for the “M”.

It's called the Lm drum because it is a remake of the machines that Roger Lm made back in the 80s.

Compared to similar vintage drum samplers the LM is a beast. For example the E-mu SP1200 only has 10 seconds. The Rossum SP1200 reissue 20 sec. LM Drum has about 300 seconds!

[@KnapfordMaster98]

The lack of tuning on all channels is really a let down. Sure have the knobs for certain ones, but at least let every slot have on through the menu's.

[@gaplauche]

You can tune the other channels via the menu. Watch Behringer's second video on the LM Drum.

[@KnapfordMaster98]

@gaplauche Yeah I saw them do that but I guess its only on the cowbell track or something. When they showed it, the tuning knob was visible on the display and in this video none of the other channels show the knob on the display. Unless there's a deeper option I'm not seeing.

[@brandon1351]

There’s always one.

Whilst Behringer may not have acted illegally, it has acted unethically. Roger Linn has said as much, in his response....There will be some, not all, purchasers of LD Drum, that will want to use it in commercial releases. I am sure they would not be happy with not receiving payment for their work, or their work being used "unethically"....We live in a time when many want something for free, or cheap, so they can make money, but not pay for the services, or products, which they have used.....I know I will get push back, but please reread this comment, and see that I am not attacking anyone who does not make money from their work. Who simply want to indulge their passion. Although, there is still the message within Roger Linn's valid response, for all of us.

Mostly just wealthy and talentless cork sniffers upset that poor plebeians can now also afford good sounding hardware.

@raymondreed5708 Yeah that's what I figured. It's people that don't even make music but just buy a bunch of expensive gear just to say they have it. I am familiar with Behringer's guitar equipment and a lot of it IS cheap junk so I was worried about buying one of these, I wasn't sure how long they'd hold up

[@mirkomarkovic3438]

That thing is whack from so many perspectives but why make a linn drum copy that's missing the linn drum sound?

[@plutostube]

thats the thing, it has that sound as much as was possible with new components, the sequencer you can say it is not the same, there is a versus video with the original one so for 500 you can't complain

@plutostube if you would ask how much less it could have the linn drum sound, the answer would be none

Check out the comparison video. Except for the default tunings of some of the sounds, which are about a semitone off, the LmDrum's so-called LM-2 kit is a dead ringer for the original LinnDrum.
