Another day, another funky 80s drum machine for you...Drumulator Plus is a sampled recreation of the early 80s E-mu Drumulator drum machine, plus three sets of custom EPROM expansions. It has a very tight, punchy sound that captures a vintage vibe without sounding like a typical 80s cliché; it's much more versatile than many 80s machines we've met.
Like all our Beat Room drum machines, it's available for Kontakt, Reason, EXS24 and as standalone .WAV files to add to your sampler of choice. We're really excited to be offering our stuff in formats other than Kontakt. See, we even rolled out a coloured font for it
The original Drumulator was a 12-bit sampled drum machine offering twelve kit pieces and real-time sequencing. It was a high-end machine for its day, and rivalled the Linn drum and other studio-grade drum machines of the early 80s. Our version of the Drumulator starts with samples of all of the original kit pieces, but then adds three separate kits based on custom aftermarket EPROMs which we fitted to our Drumulator and sampled.
Drumulator Plus includes 8 levels of round robin for a genuinely authentic sound, plus the Kontakt version has performance controls including compression, bit crushing, saturation and "velocity retrofit" (allowing MIDI velocity to control kit piece level – this is also active on the Reason and EXS24 versions, but isn't switchable). The individual kit pieces can be panned and trimmed.
Features:
- 48 kit pieces in total
Original, Fairlight, Electro and Custom Kick kits
24-bit samples of the original machine
Drum-specific effects suite, plus velocity control and pan / trim controls

Drumulator Plus is available now. It costs £5.95 for the full Kontakt version, and the version for Reason, EXS24 and .WAV file users costs £4.95 (but doesn't include the Kontakt-specific effects and GUI). All the info on the different formats is on the website
Happy music making!
