DM-999 Drum Machine in the works (now in the shop)

[dioxide]

The Mods section is very cool. Nice idea.

Reason uses use an orthogonal projection for the 3D, notice that all knobs are equally presented without any perspective.

Yeah I actually like this. Often VSTs with '3d perspective' feel odd to use, because although you're essentially sitting directly in front of the device, half the knobs are pointing off to the sides.

Like he Clicks knob here > https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/imag ... e31c5.jpeg

But .. sorry, back to topic.. Yes the mods section really give the device more depth to play with.

Update: DM-999 Drum Machine Nears Release!


The DM-999 Drum Machine has undergone several iterations since the first video in this thread. All the drum sounds have been tuned and adjusted to match the original as closely as possible, while the MOD options have been refined to offer more range and flexibility.

This emulation is what I like to call "close enough and beyond"—meaning it's quite good at replicating the classic sounds while also providing a lot of additional tonal possibilities. All based on the circuit schematics to replicate each sound. Overall, I’m very pleased with how it turned out and can’t wait for the release!

Scheduled for Monday, September 9th, I wanted to give you a sneak peek of some of its sounds now already. Check them out here: https://on.soundcloud.com/fgA9Lh7r27c3YVfMA

(It's a private playlist, but I think the link should work!)

The DM-999 will include 50 kits with custom tunings and all 7 shuffle settings of the original as ReGroove files (captured via MIDI and converted to ReGroove). Programming is preferably done in the sequencer (C1-D#2) where ReGroove can be applied, or with a ReDrum hooked up via gate/CV.

DM-888 – Yes, I'll certainly do an attempt and see if I can get close enough, I think it should be possible!

A great companion for the Player Drum Sequencer.

I haven't done a manual since it's pretty straight forward, but I thought I'd share a simple list of the location of sounds on the keyboard (equals the notes a 909 uses to trig via midi):

C1: Bass Drum
C#1: Rim Shot
D1: Snare Drum
D#1: Clap
E1: Snare Drum
F1: Low Tom
F#1: Closed Hi Hat
G1: Low Tom
G#1: Closed Hi-Hat
A1: Mid Tom
A#1: Open Hi Hat
B1: Mid Tom
C2: High Tom
C#2: Crash Cymbal
D2: High Tom
D#2 : Ride Cymbal

Happy 909 day! I updated the title of the thread, unless you all want to create a separate thread for the release.

Congrats! Always good to have a new 909 and this time in a beautiful RE!
thanks so much.
just written my first piece on it. Will be released on vinyl where the 909 drum machine sound belongs!
