Steinberg LM4 24-Bit Drum Machine VST Plugin
Compressed Toast Image - Unstuff and Burn to a CD
If you think about it, this makes a drum machine an ideal candidate for conversion into a VST instrument, so it should come as no surprise that this is exactly what Steinberg have done in creating the LM4 plug-in. It's essentially an 18-pad drum module stuffed full of 16-bit and 24-bit sampled drum and percussion sounds. Samples can be velocity-layered with no restrictions, so with enough memory you could theoretically have up to 128 sounds per pad!
There are 10 supplied 16-bit drum sets, comprising Real, Eighties, Electro 1 and 2, Heavy, Jazz, Power, Soul, Reggae, and FX. All but the FX set have standard GM mapping, which makes them straightforward to use, and the kit sizes range from a couple of hundred kilobytes for the Electro 2 to 1.6Mb for Real. However, those who want to use the supplied 24-bit Wizoo kits will need more RAM and hard disk space, even if they still run Cubase in its 16-bit mode. Again, there are 10 kits supplied, but this time in both economy and 'XXL' versions, and comprising basic, acid jazz, ambience, ballad, drum and bass, hip-hop, latin, R&B, soul, and straight rock. Most of the sounds used in the XXL versions have four velocity layers and use 30 to 50Mb of RAM, while the Eco versions use less or no velocity layering, and take between 10Mb and 20Mb of RAM. During installation you can install just the VST Instrument, or transfer either or both of the standard and Wizoo kits to your hard drive to save loading time every time you use them. However, opting to install the lot takes up a hefty 382Mb.
LM4's programming window is divided into four sections. At the bottom left are the 18 pads in two rows of nine, and these let you trigger each drum in the currently loaded set with a fixed MIDI velocity of 96. An LED above each pad glows yellow when the pad is selected, and green when MIDI data is received, while unselected pads glow red when MIDI data is received.
