I long neglected my Vermona DRM II. I often didn’t manage to get her to sit well in mixes for standard drum duties. I found the envelopes not great on some channels. With a mind to selling, I took her out to sample up. Now I don’t think I can let her go. I forgot how much beef, character and low end there is the drm channel oscillators - this is a monster bass machine. Also the hats can sound sweet.
Anyways, here’s two workouts, just a couple of patterns and tweaking, not practiced and polished performances, let alone productions!
The first is recorded from the Vermona’s main outs in one take. BB delay insert into Channel 4 of the Vermona. Recorded into my iPad, with eq and fx from Amazing Noises and Tone Boosters added + some master compression.
The second: Only unprocessed samples from the DRM in the OT. External compressor on most tracks, some reverb from the H9 on the others. Warning, bass heavy repetitive beats!
