New Module, Luma-mu, Brings Linn LM-1 Sound To Eurorack
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
- Eurorack 10HP, 50mm depth
The Luma-mu is available now, priced at $279.
