"Your analogue sound becomes a sample – then the cycle begins again: a new sound, a new sample, a new idea": Vermona drumDING is a hybrid drum machine designed to sample itself

Now German hardware brand Vermona is rejoining the fray with its latest drum machine, drumDING. However, where the DRM1 is built around multiple analogue voices, drumDING combines elements of analogue and digital generation and a workflow that emphasises internal sampling. The synth voice also includes a variety of modulation tools including an LFO and snappy decay envelopes. The hardware includes individual outputs for each of its six tracks along with a main output and separate output for the synth voice. All told, drumDING looks like a powerful and excitingly original drum machine.
