Since the mid-90s, Vermona DRM1 has been synonymous with electronic drum and percussion sounds based on analog circuitry coupled with an uncompromising control surface. DRM1 MKIV continues this tradition.
- 8 analog instrument channels
- Analog trigger inputs recognize dynamic levels and convert gate signals to MIDI messages
- 73 knobs for realtime access to all parameters
- Individual output/insert per instrument channel
- Stereo and headphone outputs
- MIDI triggering via 5-pin DIN or USB port
- Switching power supply 100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz
Structure
DRM1 MKIV has eight channels that, like the components of a real drum kit, are specialized to produce specific percussive instrument sounds.
- KICK: covers a huge spectrum of bass drum sounds from soft to hard and from short to long
- DRUM 1 and DRUM 2: toms, metallic percussion sounds, wood blocks, bongos, kick drums and more
- MULTI: cowbells, zaps, laser sounds and bongos
- SNARE: all kinds of snares including rimshots
- HIHAT 1 and HIHAT 2: hi-hats, cymbals and triangles, each in open and closed versions
- CLAP: handclaps of all kinds
Controls
Each channel has seven soft-grip knobs for controlling channel-specific sound-related parameters, complete with individual pan and volume controls and sturdy trigger buttons that are super handy while you're dialing in sounds. All these control elements make DRM1 MKIV a playground for beats, a true musical instrument that wants to be touched and played.
Connectivity
The instrument channels can be triggered by MIDI via USB or 5-pin DIN jacks with easy remapping of default MIDI note triggers. Besides its master left/right 1/4" stereo outputs, DRM1 MKIV also offers an individual output per channel, which when connected to a 1/4" TRS to dual 1/4" TS cable can be used as a channel insert to apply external effects to individual channels and then feed the effected signal back to the main mix and outputs.
Analog trigger inputs
This version of DRM1 MKIV is equipped with analog trigger inputs, allowing control from vintage analog sequencers with gate signals or integration with modular systems. In addition, DRM1 MKIV's trigger option can convert incoming analog trigger impulses into MIDI messages and pass them along to other gear via USB or 5-pin MIDI out. Both MIDI and trigger inputs support dynamics/velocity, including varying voltage levels at the trigger inputs.
A classic's makeover
The MKIV update started with taking time to thoroughly listen to each circuit and put energy and care into its details: thoughtfully tweaking frequency ranges, revamping control curves, adjusting levels and redesigning sub-circuits, making MKIV the best-sounding drum synthesizer Vermona's ever built. A revamped, more energy-efficient international power supply and expanded MIDI connectivity round out the MKIV package.
