Behringer LM Drum Hybrid Drum Machine - Secondhand

Full Description

Classic sounds meet modern design

The Behringer LM Drum Hybrid Drum Machine revives the spirit of the '80s with its authentic sampling sound engine, providing 109 iconic drum sounds that defined a generation. The inclusion of original analog circuitry - such as the 3320 VCF and 2164 VCA chips - ensure that the LM Drum's beloved crunchy, warm sound is fully intact for modern music production. The LM Drum sets out to faithfully recreate the sound of a line of drum machines that shaped the biggest hits of the '80s - used by Peter Gabriel, Prince, Queen, A-Ha, Michael Jackson, Steve Winwood, Tears For Fears, and Giorgio Moroder.

Innovative sequencing and sound shaping

With its powerful 64-step drum sequencer, the LM Drum goes beyond traditional programming, offering poly-meter, step-repeat, and real-time triggering capabilities. This, coupled with the integrated FX bus featuring a Wave Designer and a dual-mode analog filter, allows musicians and producers to sculpt their sounds with precision and creativity. Each voice can be finely tuned with independent level and pan controls, while the 16 analog outputs provide extensive options for external processing or recording, ensuring that every nuance of your rhythm can be captured and manipulated.

Expressive performance and deep customization

The 16 velocity-sensitive drum pads with aftertouch on the LM Drum invite musicians to engage directly with their beats, providing a tactile and responsive interface for dynamic performances. Live recording, editing, and playback of analog filter cutoff via automation add another layer of expression, enabling users to manipulate their sounds in real time. The ability to store and manage up to 8 songs and 128 patterns, along with the unique Auto Scroll feature, offers unlimited creative possibilities, making the LM Drum an essential tool for both studio production and live performance.

Connectivity and workflow optimization

Beyond its sound capabilities, the LM Drum excels in connectivity and workflow. Its comprehensive MIDI, USB, and clock sync options ensure seamless integration with any studio setup or live rig, offering flexibility in how it's used within a broader music production ecosystem. The high-visibility LCD display, coupled with an intuitive encoder for editing tempo, swing, and other parameters, ensures a smooth and efficient workflow to make unique and catchy drum beats.
