Deft Audio – developer of the Luma-1 drum machine – has released Luma-mu, a new Eurorack module that offers a single channel drum voice based on the the classic Linn LM-1.
What they have to say about it:
“Luma-mu is a 10HP Eurorack module, essentially a single drum channel of Luma-1 which holds multiple sounds in its ROM. It plays samples digitally without microcontroller or software used, which guarantees the lowest latency and highest response of its 8-bit mu-Law DAC.
It’s perfect for Luma-1 expansion or standalone operation.”
Features:
8-bit mu-law EPROM playback, exact copy of LM-1/Luma-1 channel
Removable EPROMs with 8 sounds on each, 16KB each (~1.5sec/ea)
True digital playback with no microcontroller or software involved, order of nanoseconds response time to the first sample
CV control for sound select allows playing various sounds at each step
CV control for Pitch and Dynamics
Gate control for Reset, Pause and sample Trigger
Can be clocked externally
Ability to play one shot samples or looped sounds to use it with perfectly looped waveforms as a wave oscillator
Comes with a software to make your own EPROMs
EPROM is accessible from the front with optional Luma-mu Reacharound extender module
