Sequencer

The modernized sequencer has 128 patterns for your own rhythms, which can be up to 64 steps long. Odd steps can also be programmed individually for each track(polymetry). The indispensable groove parameters shuffle and flam provide more funkiness. As with the original, the rhythms are entered using the 16 large keys; however, the LM Drum uses velocity-sensitive pads. This allows for even more accentuated sound input and, above all, programming in the TR grid. The trigger function, which repeats a preselectable range (1, 2, 4, 8 steps) of sequencer steps in step repeat mode until the button is released, is absolutely performance-oriented. Alternatively, there is Note Repeat, which triggers the selected instrument in four speed levels; perfect for spontaneously adding variety to the pattern. Contemporary innovations such as programmable probability of drum triggers and a randomizer round off the sequencer features.

Analog effects

The main output has two special features: firstly, there is a switchable lowpass/highpass filter with manually adjustable Cutoff and resonance, and secondly, the Wave Designer; a compressor-like effect that processes the attack and decay times. Depending on the setting, the signal becomes pumping, spongy or slightly chopped. Furthermore, the 16 individual outputs enable processing by external equipment such as a Delay or Reverb effect.
