ICONDrum, a LinnDrum emulator from

[@Fred_Free]

It doesn't ”feel” like an Lm1 or LinnDrum when the sounds are added to the grid in a DAW.

[@fraxis2007]

I bought one because it's cheap, looks good,and sounds pretty good. Up to a point. But, as Aly points out, a LinnDrumm works with its data in a way that "cannot be replicated by using samples of its analog output alone." And "decodes original EPROM data images in real-time using the exact decode table from the AM6070 DAC at a variable sample rate." So this is a bit of a lazy release compared to VPROM, depending on how fussy you are about getting an absolutelly authentic sound. Although Aly still not releasing a properl Apple Silicon version after all this time is extremely poor too. Maybe this will encourage him to get on with it?

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

Can i route all those sounds into individual outputs and run a multi channel sound card ?

[@peecee2000]

Nice video, thanks. Incidentally there’s a half price introductory offer at the moment. £30.

[@polarramusic]

whats the benefit agianst 1000 existing Linn samples, loaded in sampler?

[@annother3350]

The Aly james VProm VST perfectly models the lo-fi effect of pitching down the EPROMs like none other I've heard

[@taosophymusic]

I have Aly James’ VProm. It is as close as I’ve ever heard to the original LinnDrum-which I used to own. In fact you can hear Aly James’ on my page where I recreate Prince(The Linn Drum Master) tracks with it. I don’t understand GeForce’s need to put different velocity keys on the interface. I mean who’s using their mouse as an input device!!? Also it’s unfortunately competing with VProm and Behringer’s LM Drum. To me, based on this demo, Aly’s wins hands down. We’ll see how close Behringer gets.

[@gsmusic2009]

I have the Vlinn ti not sure if I will buy this cause it doesn’t have the sequencer!

[@ElectroPanPipes]

Who uses a mouse? Many users with disabilities. Things you haven’t also considered, this is less money than other 2, Silicon support, and a better UI. AJ could well change these with v3, but as it stands this is a welcomed addition.

[@phurniture]

I too used to own a LinnDrum (it was one of my first pieces of kit). After selling it I had searched for samples or other means of getting the same sound but nothing satisfied me. That is until I discovered the VProm. It totally has the vibe that I remember from my old LinnDrum.

[@Alyjameslab]

And v3.0 is cooking hard 😉

[@ElectroPanPipes]

@@Alyjameslab Niiice, we certainly look forward to it. Hopefully that cooking pot is almost boiled 😃 I’ll be buying it 100%

[@1lps1]

eh looks cumbersome and mid ngl, if they sponsored u get ur bag tho king

[@MadelnMachines]

Can you load your own samples?

[@Nu-trix]

Not that I can see.

[@MarcoBritBox]

sorry..how can i play midi sequence in standalon mode?

[@Nu-trix]

@@MarcoBritBoxThere is no sequencer in the plugin or stand alone version. The MIDI sequence has to come from a sequencer (hardware or a DAW)

[@gilo7171]

Better then V LINN ?

[@MeloneMusk-ul1ys]

Definitely not.

[@86crush]

You lost everyone at no sequencer. 🤦🏻‍♂️ that was the ENTIRE soul of the machine. Anyone can make a UI with fancy knobs. The only saving grace is if this can be -highly- incorporated with the Push2 which none of the other Linn plugins can at all. Trust me….i tried. On top of the fact that Oliver’s processed Linn samples/loops are absolutely second to none. This just seems redundant. Why are all the plugin companies re-hashing these machines 5 times? You MUST be bored reviewing this stuff by now 🤣

[@vaiman7777]

Lost everyone? No, just you. And thankfully they didn’t make it just for you. Everyone else is happy

[@86crush]

@ I bet that felt good huh buddy? As if you speak for everyone. Let all that rage go chief. 🤣 you probably have very low standards…and that’s ok 🤣 have the day you deserve.

[@Nu-trix]

I never used the original Linn Drum. How interesting / inspiring was the sequencing process?

[@vaiman7777]

@@Nu-trix He’s not had a hit single since he stopped using the sequencer 😅

​@@Nu-trix, If your DAW can't export midi files to 48 PPQN, you're stuck (read the VProm manual to understand what I mean). The famous "magical groove" (which have nothing to do with "shuffle" or "swing") of those Linn came from the low resolution of their sequencer (48 PPQN). As an example, Studio One will export midi files in high resolution only, so S1 users are stuck. Their only alternative is to program the pattern in another DAW (i.e. Cubase), export the midi file in 48 PPQN, and then re-import the file in Studio One. A bit fastidious, time consuming and... expensive.

[@gsmusic2009]

If it doesn’t have the sequencer it ain’t worth it

[@vaiman7777]

Learn your DAW

[@gsmusic2009]

@ Lol get out your feelings hater!!! I know multiple DAWs! Completing the product makes more sense if they are competing! Roland completed there Drum Machines ! If this can’t beat Alys then it’s just like any other replica! If it’s completed then it would have a really good standalone version.

[@vaiman7777]

@@gsmusic2009 It’s a vst, hosted in a DAW. No need. Learn your tools and you’ll get further in life. Or keep moaning on whilst nobody cares, your choice!!
