    Vermona is the maker of my favorite synth ever, the Perfourmer, so when they came out with the new version of their classic analog drum machine , I had to have one.
    This beast offers you 8 channels of analog drum synthesis, with an incredible array of controls. Each channels let you shape the sound in powerful but easy ways.
    This new version has some updates from MkII, the most noticeable being the USB port that allows you to control it from a DAW.
    For this test I used Ableton Live 11 to sequence it and I processed it through CXM1978 Reverb ( by Meris and Chase bliss ) and Overstayer Modular Channel.
    I use ADAM S2v monitors:

    Got one of these 2 weeks ago and my god, it has changed my drum life. Every tiny twist of each knob takes me somewhere else. It is, well, there are no words only sounds. Thanks for the Ahbluhtun set up tut also. That's the new way I say Ableton now.
    "Snare... guess what? That's a snare." LOL.
    Oh and this is probably news to no one but I find it's best to assign each knob a part of the drum. So, for example, the decay on the Kick is the skin of the drum's vibrations after it has been hit. If I do that then I can think about what I want the drum to sound like, think about what kind of hit would make that sound and then turn that visual into a sound wave via each knob's function as a part of that real world process.
    Love your channel I am always happy when I see the scorpion.

    Fantastic video! Ten times better of what reading a typical music gear magazine would have been. Really! Videos like these make spending time on TH-cam worth it.
    The Overstayer and the reverb really make the DRM shine. Like herbs in the kitchen 👨‍🍳🥁🔊
    I certainly will treat myself with a Vermona DRM this year. The price is really fair and reasonable imho.
    Thanks, Oora!

    I've just picked up a MKIII with the CV ins quite cheap, probably as a result of the mkIV coming out. Having a lot of fun with this and the Perfourmer, it's quite nice getting a groove going with the DRM1 and layering in some 808 kicks if you have a more traditional drum machine as well.

    At the old age of 60 I decided I want to learn how to produce electronic music. I have a Moog Sub 37 and just ordered a Roland Tr8S and a KeyStep Pro. Just wondering if you think this instrument would play nice with the Roland Tr8s? I am new to synthesis and want to make sure I am buying the right gear and wondering how this would sound with the Roland TR8s? Thanks for your channel. I just subscribed.

    • @OoraMusic
      @OoraMusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Hey Bob!
      This is a fully analog drum machine with a very specific sound, it will be a nice addition to the tr8s. Of course you can use samples on the tr8s and cover all the ground you need, so I'd buy an additional drum machine only if I don't need anything else!

    • @TheCanadianDreamEvergreen
      @TheCanadianDreamEvergreen 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I would buy an analog drum machine, so the TR8S can send midi to it. And yes the Vermona will pair perfectly with the Roland. I own both 😅 The Vermona is a synth mind you, but it will make your drums come to life if you later both the Roland with the Vermona

    • @stewarthenson7558
