EGLM1 - Drum Machine App Reviews

This is such a great app, true to the core of this 80s monster of a drum machine. spectacular recreation, when you hear the sounds you’re transported to the era and you recognize almost immediately what song used that sound. looking forward to the growth of this app..

Worth the price just for the samples and basic functionality. Sequencing functions are a nightmare. Grid style programming of patterns a la 808/909 will help a lot at least. As would the ability to load both Linn Drum samples as we'll as LM-1.

Drum sounds and workflow are pretty much like the original drum machine. With that in mind, it's a very strange thing that the closed hi hat doesn't choke the open hi hat. The people that made the very early drum machines knew that a hi hat can't be open and closed at the same time. This oversight is pretty ridiculous. The fact that there's the same problem with your virtual 808 is even more ridiculous. You guys really have to fix that. It's incredible that you would go through all the trouble

Not a bad effort. However, some of the sounds are incorrect, most notably the high and low Toms, clave and the snares. While appluad the effort, more work needs to be done. There should be a 4 beat mode, since most songs were written that way. I tried to program one of Prince's songs (Computer Blue), but couldn't due to the 2 beat limit. More work needs to be done to make this work like the original LM-1 Drum Computer.

No idea how close the emulation is to original hardware. I don’t think a beat sequencer is necessary. I was looking for a cheap software introduction to classic drum machines and this fit the bill perfectly.

I just bought and downloaded the app, was having fun playing around, but then noticed the sounds of the rows are reversed as to how they are labeled.

Now that they are all Auv3 these apps have become so much more useful. I own many of the best retro drum sample packs out there and I really love the choice of LM sounds used in this app. Still can’t get over how much I’m using this little machine, it truly has a very retro sound to it, the sequencer just makes the rhythms sound “right” to my ear. I’m grabbing the rest of the bundle that I don’t have tonight!
