Unfortunately, I already bought a few software drum machines before this one. I could have saved myself all that money... If you're looking for something modern and clean, you might want to keep looking, but for retro fans, this is highly recommended. I have a lot of old drum machine sounds (Linn, 707, 505, ...). I can load them here, fine-tune them a bit, and they sound absolutely authentic. It's a lot of fun. :) (I know, for even more authenticity, original EPROMs are best) VProm also seems to work absolutely fine here in FL Studio. Thumbs up.

wav2bin? then the samples you bought before not so useless as you said or? :-)
My LM-1 samples are now useless and don't sound half as good as this. I would not load an inferior sample of the LM-1 in to the machine that already has pristine LM-1 BIN files in it. My other samples on the other hand are great to change to BIN and drop in to this thing. Gives them a new life.
Yes, it's another new evidence that the modelling synthesis is the real future instead of the sample based instruments. First in sample based instruments, the sound can't be alive by itself (it needs effects to give it life) while in physically (or electronically) modelled synthesis the sound is alive in itself, by mathematical progressions, and second... while gigabytes of samples are needed in sample based synthesis, just some megabytes (a thousand times less) is enough for a modelling synthesis instrument... which will have a far better quality.
The name of this entry really should be changed to reflect the current name of the product.
I have a question about your the possibility to load additional banks :
If I load anadditional bank and if after I want to go back to original one, will it be necessary to re-load the default bank?
Where is located (on a Mac) this default bank (maybe called "vProm-Default.fxp")?
Thank you for your help.
"The VLINN doesn't use samples, it uses the actual EPROM data and reads it in real time."
Lol and that EPROM data do not contain samples ?
