Vermona drumDING Workshop at SchneidersLaden

video upload by SchneidersLaden

"On March 26th we had Vermona in the showroom for a deep dive into one of the standout instruments of SUPERBOOTH25: drumDING.

Blending analog drum synthesis with sampling and sequencing, drumDING opens up a fluid, hands-on workflow where sounds can be created, captured, and reshaped on the fly. With features like parameter locks, polymetrics and performative controls, it’s built for spontaneous groove building and evolving rhythmic structures.

In this workshop, Thomas walks you through the concept, demonstrates the workflow, and shows how quickly ideas can turn into fully formed patterns."

New Vermona drumDING DRM Drum Machine Sampler/Sequencer In the Works

Some info Google translated via Amazona.de:

"A real surprise: Vermona drumDING combines the analog drum power of the DRM-1 with a creative and live-ready sampler/sequencer. It's still a prototype, and the name isn't engraved on the front panel yet, but the concept is impressive.

drumDING consists of two separate sections that work closely together. The drum synthesizer sits at the top, exceeding the capabilities of the DRM-1 in many ways. While the DRM-1 has eight specialized channels, this one has only one instrument. However, the parameters can be tweaked to such an extent that all types of drums can be convincingly realized: kick, snare, clap, toms, percussion, cymbals, hi-hats, etc.

Anyone familiar with Vermona drums knows the level of sophistication. However, the circuitry of the DRM-1 hasn't simply been adopted; everything has been redesigned. And so some functions, such as the continuously variable filter type, have become more flexible.

The sound you've just tweaked can be sampled on the fly and programmed into the sequencer. Then you can move on to the next sound. A project can store 16 samples, which are played by six sequencer tracks.

An SD card serves as the storage medium, so a large number of projects can be available on the device.

The sequencer offers all the features you'd expect from a modern device: swing, parameter lock, polymeter, etc. Within a pattern, various functions can be applied to the sampled sounds, such as pitch, reverse, decay, as well as some DSP-based effects, including bit crusher and overdrive. The parameters can be varied per step, just like a sample selection.

The device has individual outputs for the sample channels and the analog voice channel, MIDI I/O and USB, as well as main and phones out."

Vermona drumDING: A New Perspective on Drums

"The Vermona drumDING introduces a quietly radical take on the drum machine. Built around a single synth voice, carefully shaped for percussion, it invites you to create your own kits in a direct and immediate way—where sound design becomes part of the moment, not something prepared in advance. Sound, as it happens. Let’s dive in."
