[@adamharris7775]

The LinnDrum and E-mu Drumulator were heard in the song “Shout” (1984)

Great video. Had a Linndrum too with the same eprom rock kit. Unfortunately it was damaged due to a service board burnout & was hard to repair here in the uk. Luckily I got a sequencial drum tracks and recaptured the same sound 🎶

@@Ashfaq1999 I love the drum tracks. For the last 5 years I been designing sounds for them. If you ever want some new sounds I have e 1000s of them. They hit different inside the Drumtraks. Because the Curtis chips.

The Drumulator with Digidrums Rock EPROMs was heard in the song “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” (1985).

Snare is from Digidrums Rock Eprom set. which u could use in many drum machines of the time

[@ma1nsun]

@@PenVerine Snare most likely also from CMI, I find a similar one in the Factory Bank, or they recorded the sample themselves

Also famously used by Cocteau Twins (Treasure, 1984) and Depeche Mode ("Never Let Me Down Again", 1987)

Not DM. They sampled drum part of When the levee breaks

[@StopRequested]

@@Esperluet Yeah, that's who DigiDrums sampled to make the sound. But DM and Cocteau used the DigiDrums chips in their Drumulators, iirc.

[@Meteotrance]

​@@EsperluetSo no need for that drum machine anymore, if it ,can be sampler from Bonzo drums it was like the Amen Break from the Winston or Funky Drummer from James Brown, those stuff was sample over and over to AKAI sampler and E-MU SP 1200 they over abuse those stuff, bring new stuff there is a lot of solo drum from 70's album from rock to disco or jazz and funk that can be use, the other way, it's to sample is own drums like i do with my acoustic drum, some random noise recorded with a zoom and stuff also build from ground with analog synth or virtual synth , use already made sample pack is a good start but it's also a lazy process that won't make new sound for this Era.

[@Esperluet]

@@StopRequested Sorry, you're right, the guy from the company put a comment in there admitting When the levee breaks were samples

[@StopRequested]

@@Esperluet All good, just some friendly discussion at the end of the day

Kool! I low those buttons!

[@Outdoorshuntingshooting]

I believe these sounds were lifted from a led zep track.

Hi! I've been researching roms and samples from this drum machine for a long time, also from Drumulator & Oberheim DX/DMX. Little by little getting their alternative sets, but it seems impossible to find the alternative samples of the bells and triangles that appear in "Shout" for example which is what I'm looking for now. I heard something from forat, but no luck in my research either. Do you have any idea where these samples come from?

[@haiih2420]

Been reading forums for months, some of them are over 15 years old, but I can't find anything except the Drumulator Rock Kit and alternative sounds from other machines.
I know Tears For Fears used to get alternate eproms for their linn and mix them into their songs, but no idea where these last samples came from. I remember that the triangle sample is also used in "Paranomia" from The art of noise

[@program17]

I GOT them. all of them

[@haiih2420]

@@program17 So you know how can I get them?

[@program17]

@@haiih2420 yes, from me. i make and sell eprom chips. I programmed this set myself. I first made it for the band ministry. you can hit me up on I.G. or email me. [e-mail]

[@mantax55]

@@program17do you offer just the binary files themselves? There’s an LM-1 emulation that can read EPROM binaries

How do I purchase?
