BehringerLM DRUM Hybrid Drum Machine

Behringer LM DRUM

Capture the nostalgic grooves of the 1980s with the Behringer LM DRUM, a hybrid sampling drum machine that reimagines multiple editions of one of the most influential drum machines in music history. Combining an authentic 8/12-bit digital sampling engine with real analog filter and amplifier, this hybrid instrument dutifully delivers the sound of the original machines. Compose captivating beats like your chart-topping favorites of yesteryear using 109 iconic drum sounds from the original instrument editions, or use the onboard line level input to record your own samples. Each of the sixteen simultaneous voices features dedicated controls for level and pan, while the integrated FX bus offers the envelope-shaping Wave Designer and an rich, dual-mode analog filter you can selectively apply to each voice.

While keeping the original machine's aesthetic and general workflow, the LM DRUM features a modern sequencer to empower your use of these classic sounds. The 64-step sequencer supports poly metric patterns, and offers live controls like step and note repeats, real time triggers, and mutes or solo controls for each track. Like the original, you can record in patterns using the highly playable pads, or program them in per-step. Add in the auto fill and randomness features, and the LM DRUM offers a comprehensive palette for percussive improvisation, enabling you to quickly build and shape beats on the fly. Store your favorite patterns and chain them together to make songs, empowering full set performances with ease in pattern and song modes. The LM DRUM is also a fantastic tool for studio use, with seamless synchronization via USB, MIDI, or external and internal clock sources, as well as direct outputs for each voice, perfect for your production workflow. If you're looking for a drum machine to deliver the hit-making percussion of 1980s pop at a price point that promises neither tears nor fears, the Behringer LM DRUM is a perfect choice.
