Brothers 👨‍👦‍👦 (Vermona DRM1 MKIV 8-voice analog drum synth // Perfourmer MKII + H9 + Bigsky + Pill)

video upload by 2-Minute Warning

"First video featuring the Vermona DRM-1 8-voice analog drum synth 😊 For a long time I've been stopping myself from getting one as I already have the MAM ADX-1 which is a bit an ancestor of this DRM-1! But the Vermona Perfourmer was feeling a bit lonely 😅

In this video, I decided to use my DAW to sequence both instruments as I wanted to be able to "play" the knobs on the instruments 😉

The track starts with the BASS (Voice 1 of the Perfourmer) and PLUCK (Voice 3 panned left & voice 4 panned right, of the Perfourmer through the H9 reverb). Then comes the KICK (Voice 1 of the DRM1) which is going into the Pill ducking pedal to trigger it.
Afterwards arrives the LEAD (Voice 3 of the Perfourmer through the Bigsky reverb + Pill ducking pedal) and the 7 other voices of the DRM1 (wanted initially to use them through the Particle granular delay, but didn't have enough time to blend it in! 😅).

VERMONA DRM mkIV - DYNAMIC TRIGGERING

video by vermonagear

"In this video we quickly explain the recent updates regarding the DRM’s connectivity and demonstrate how to generate dynamic trigger signals using a modular environment.
From now on also the analogue trigger inputs are dynamic, same as the midi inputs which provided velocity control ever since. Both the dynamic trigger inputs and midi veloctiy do not just control the output volume of a channel but rather effect the overall excitement of each channel’s circuitry, thus controlling its output volume.

There are different ways to generate dynamic trigger signals. While some sequencers provide it and some don't, in this video we show how to achieve it using modular setup."

Stimming reviews Vermona DRM1 MKIV analog drum synthesizer

video by Sense Music & Media

"In this video, our in-house reviewer, Martin Stimming reviews Vermona's MKIV version of their classic DRM1 analog drum synthesizer. 25 years on the market the DRM-1 is one of the longest running electronic music instruments. Optically this update is still the same as the first incarnation but under the cover the team at Vermona thoughtfully tweaked frequency ranges, revamped control curves, adjusted levels and redesigned sub-circuits. Stimming puts this new version of an electronic music production staple through it's paces. Let’s see what his conclusion is..."
