Behringer LmDrum Sampling Drum Machine Now Shipping


Behringer has announced that the LmDrum – a new drum machine that copies the look of the classic LinnDrum look – is now shipping from their factory.

The Behringer LmDrum is not designed to be a knockoff or clone of the original LinnDrum. Instead, it’s an original sampling drum machine that features samples from the LM1, LM1, LM9000 and other drum machines, an 8/12-bit sampling sound engine, and a look inspired by the LinnDrum. It also supports sampling via a built-in line input.
