Machinedrum Emulation is HERE | Factory Patterns Demo

video upload by Autodafe

"What if you could run an Elektron Machinedrum inside your computer?

In this video I'm taking a look at Gearmulator MD, an impressive emulation of the legendary Elektron Machinedrum, developed by Joe Landers as a fork of the Gearmulator project.

There is no talking in this video — just a quick look at the interface and a selection of the original factory patterns, so you can hear the emulation in action.

⚙️ ABOUT THE EMULATION

Gearmulator is a low-level emulation project that recreates the hardware used by several classic digital synthesizers and runs their original firmware.

Joe Landers' gearmulator-md-mm fork extends that work with emulations of the Elektron Machinedrum and Elektron Monomachine.

The result is not simply a software recreation inspired by the Machinedrum: it runs the original machine firmware on an emulated version of the underlying hardware.

At the time of making this video the project is still in alpha development, so expect things to continue evolving.

⚠️ FIRMWARE

Firmware is NOT included with the emulator.

The project is intended for users who own the original hardware and can provide their own firmware. Please do not ask the developers for firmware files, ROMs or download links.
