Soon as I saw the title, I knew it'd either be the MAM ADX1 or Vermona's original DRM1. Run them through a 5v triggered Sherman FB for Millenium-era electro sound. Sick as fuck ❤

I actually made the front and back panel design for the ADX-1, redesigned version made by Modemachines a few years ago (MAM was The precursor of Modemachines). I actually love both the ho hat and snare channels. Nice video!!

wow the overdriven kick is amazing! that thing with snare the way it slides very nice rythmic thing there. yes you can see the vermona dna. share a wave file of the audio if you feel . to sample. either way all good. wonderful showcase!
@everpuremusic2 ай бұрын
Amazing how a "simple" modulation knob on each instruments lifts the MAM into totally different orbit. Yes, the Vermona just sounds dull next to it. And that's also amazing, since the Vermona is lovely in its own right.

I love this kind of simple and good sounding gear. Having little but good option is way better for creativity i believe. I can't find a single one of these online to check prices... apparently people are holding on to them

Got mine reverb 2019 for under $300. !! Crazy then crazier now. Apparently I was on a roll in 2019 Bc I also got my tanzbär a few month later for $549 lol still got em both and love em. However DO NOT pay >$500, ($600 maybe tops if you absolutely ADORE That “sloppy” living, breathing, analog Dsynth sound… Bc there is absolutely no better Drum synth on earth for that particular flavor of sound) the ADX-1 really shouldn’t be used to supply your “primary beat” for a track. It’s (kick especially) just too loosey gooosey to give that thump and bump you really need driving a groove. Though you MIDI out from even,as I have done plenty, an og DBrute using it to sequence the adx and provide the skeletal under beat by blending it’s kick snare/clap and a couple other select sounds underneath the adx’s and then your in some serious business ….(and the results only get better as the DM u use for that under skeleton gets upgraded!!!

Was the vermona drm inspired by this? Feels like it
@jg_ultra2 ай бұрын
More than just inspired. I've read a couple different takes on the lineage of the companies and people involved, but more or less: ADX1 = DRM1
@lloydstellar2 ай бұрын
Was thinking the exact same. I am using the DRM1 a lot. I love it. Even has a comparable interface with one knob per function. But the original Vermona DRM was from 1987. So it is maybe the other way around. I would love to have LFO on the DRM1
@lloydstellar2 ай бұрын
Oow haha, didnt finish the video before i commented
@felixfleer45072 ай бұрын
@happylittlesynth At the end of the video I actually do a little comparison. While the DRM developed out of the ADX1 I think the sound is still very different.

It’s cool, but I feel I can get the same and more out of the Dave Smith Tempest. Not to say this isn’t killer, but I have spent a lot of years on the Tempest and it can sound like almost any thing if you put time into it. (Except samples and grain/software created sounds)

@EuclideanFields2 ай бұрын
I personally wouldn't say that they're overlooked, Floating Points and Bicep both use them (albeit Bicep use the clone), two pretty big names in the electronic music scene. The synths are just hard to come by and expensive. Great video btw, it’s such a nice sounding machine.

Sorry - I had to laugh about “electronic music from way back. - the 90’s” A guy called Stevie Dunstan in Melbourne Australia was performing with his own home made circuits in the 60’s and a good place to hear even earlier electronic music is soundtracks from early science fiction movies
