17 Dec, 2024 No Comment

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.

Supercritical Synthesizers has announced that the Redshift 6 Variable Character Synthesizer is now available.

In addition, synthesist Kebu shared this ‘shut up and play’ style video demo for the Redshift 6:

The Supercritical Redshift 6 combines technology from the company’s previous products, the Demon Core Oscillator and the Neutron Flux Filter. Each of the six voices features a DCO, with analog waveforms generated under digital control. The filter core is an analog 4-pole state variable filter, also digitally controlled, to “act like almost any classic vintage synthesizer filter and more”.
