Linn Drum Vst Download
I was very excited when I heard that Aly James had just finished his version 2 of the Vlinn Linn LM-1 VST drum machine emulator. I did a comprehensive review of Vlinn version 1 a while ago, if you have not already watched that video I strongly suggest you do so before watching this one.
In this video I am going to concentrate on what the new features are in version 2 and how it differs from version 1.
Vlinn 2 Is Now Multi-Format and 64 Bit Compatible
Well, due to this thread i discovered Aly's vsts and considering they're only a 15 gbp donation i bought both his drum emulations. I have to say i'm super impressed! The linn emulation is fantastic, and one of the coolest aspects about it is that you can convert your own drum samples from wav to.bin files which can be loaded into the linn vst. XLN Audio Addictive Drums 2 VST plugin one of the best drum VST plugins for rock and blues genre. If you are searching for a plugin that could deliver the original drum machine feel then Addictive drums 2 is can be the first choice for you. With the sleek drum style GUI, it will sound just like an original drum machine. Search results showing audio plugins for all operating systems (Windows, MacOS, Linux, iOS and Android), tagged as Linndrum. The results are sorted by date added (newest first). Linndrum Tape is a free sample collection that features 215 drum samples, created using the iconic LinnDrum LM-2 drum machine. The samples were created by recording to 1/2″ analog tape, using an Ampex ATR-102 vintage tape machine at multiple saturation levels. The sample library is a free download (.zip). 55 classic drum machine samples; Multi-sampled from the iconic hardware; Sounds including snares, hats, kicks and percussion; Sampler instrument patches; 24 Bit Wav download; Add to wishlist £5.00 £1.00 $6.10 $1.22 ¥635 ¥127 €5.95 €1.11 Click here to save 99% on this pack!

It includes 2 oscillator modules, a filter module, 2 envelopes and 3 LFO modules, a chorus effect and an easy-to-use yet powerful Modulation Matrix. The Drum Source is a nifty sample-based drum machine VST that boasts a 24 pattern sequencer where each pattern can be a 16/32/64/128 sequence and supports a massive range of audio files for your samples. Now recreate the magic of an acoustic drum kit with MyDrumset VST that provides raw and untampered drum sounds of yore.
The main and most important upgrade is that it is completely re-written to be compatible with multiple plugin formats and 64 bit systems. It is now available for Mac and PC in VST2, 3 and AudioUnit format.
Vlinn 2 is now written using Oli Larkin’s respected IPlug framework. Version 1 was made in SynthEdit with added custom code, a lot like Variety Of Sound’s free plugins. Many people will be very happy it is now 64 bit. Even though there is no performance improvement, some DAW’s 32 to 64 bit bridging can be problematic.
Comparing the GUI’s
Let’s get right in and compare version 1 and 2 side by side and explore the new features.
On the top we have version 1, and on the bottom version 2. They look very similar, but version 2 has a cool circuit graphic (top right) for your viewing pleasure.
vLinn v2.0
GUI Interface Usability Improvements
There are improvements in the way that you can interact with the GUI.
- Double click resets values to default settings. This is particularly useful with the tuning as you often want to return to a more sensible pitch after experimenting with some crazy ones.
- Alt click enables you to enter values precisely with the keyboard.
- Ctrl drag enables precise control over the knobs and sliders, which is the same as in version 1.
New panning control
The TUNE control can now be clicked and turned into a PAN control. This is very handy if you are not running the plugin in multiple output mode as it enables you to make a full stereo mix from right within the plugin.
Additional Stock Custom Voice
The original Linndrum was famous for having feeling and groove. One reason for this was that the stock snare drum had a little empty space before the sample causing it to sound slightly late. This meant that it had a laid back feel to it.
In the Vlinn version 2 there is now an additional custom voice that is named EXTRA. This has a copy of the stock snare WITHOUT this delay. This enables you to quickly program drum patterns that do not have the laid back snare sound without having to modify your MIDI. The original delay on the snare also got longer as you tuned the sample lower, so the new version is even more welcome in these situations.
New Velocity Modes
The velocity modes change the way the Vlinn reacts to how hard you hit your velocity sensitive keyboard or electronic drum kit. It also changes the way it reacts to programmed velocity inside your DAW.
Version 1 had only 2 velocity response modes, ORIGINAL and FULL.
ORIGINAL emulates the hardware in having only 2 velocity layers. So if you hit your keyboard/electronic drum kit very hard you get the loudest drum sound, anything under that you get the softer sound. It is playing the exact same sound, only at a lower or higher volume. FULL makes the Vlinn fully velocity responsive, unlike the original hardware instrument.
Version 2 add FULL LIN and FULL EXP modes. These are full velocity responsive modes, but they react in either a linear or exponential way. These are just technical terms that relate to how the Vlinn responds to how hard you play your controller. You may have come across these exact same terms in your MIDI controllers manual. The diagram shows what they mean, but you will need to play the instrument to discover the feel.
MIDI Pitch Bend for Global Tuning
Now you can use MIDI pitch bend to globally transpose the entire drum kit. This is really cool for live performance.
Improved EPROM Loading and Management
What the hell is an EPROM you may be asking? An EPROM is a special type of memory chip that retains its contents until it is exposed to ultraviolet light, it stands for erasable programmable read only memory. It is where the drum samples were stored on the old hardware.
As you know, the Vlinn 1 and 2 can both load the EPROMS from compatible drum machines. Now in version 2 all of the EPROMS can be replaced instead of only 7 of them. Also you don’t need to worry about the size of them when loading anymore, this is taken care of automatically now.
We also have a nicer layout and improved graphics on the page along with a handy UNLOAD CUSTOM EPROMS button to reset back to the stock sounds.
What Has Happened to the Electron Gate Linn EPROMS?
The Vlinn has the LM-1 EPROMS built in, but wouldn’t it be nice to have the LM-2 and Linn 9000 sounds too? That was totally possible if you downloaded the EPROMS and loaded them in.
Recently there has been a take down on the Linn EPROMS that have always been freely available from the electrongate website. If you go to the old download page now you get:
“The Linn drum samples have been removed from this web site at the request of the copyright holder. Please contact Forat Electronics for your Linn sound EPROM needs.“
Forat Electronics now seem to own the copyright for these ROMS. I assume they don’t want people burning their own and selling them on Ebay cutting into their business.
The Return of the Linn LM-2 and 9000 EPROMS!
Well, of course this copyright shouldn’t really apply to the samples in another format, after all the web is full of free samples taken from the LM-2 and 9000.
Here is an anonymously supplied bank in .fxb format that will work only in the Vlinn 2 :). It features not only the missing Linn EPROMS but all the classic drum machines that are compatible with the Vlinn ready to go!

The other machines will of course sound like they were played through LM-1 hardware, but that is not a bad thing for lovers of 8 bit retro drums.

If you are reading Forat Electronics, the EPROM format is embedded into another DATA format inside the bank. It is unusable “as is” to write onto hardware EPROMs. If you demand a take down I will of course comply, but it would be a real shame for users of this software. Really hope you guys are groovy with this.
Conclusion
This is a great update. For many people it will be the first time they get to use the plugin as it was only PC VST 32bit in the past. I can’t really think of anything important it is missing now and encountered no bugs or problems during testing.
If there was one killer feature that could be added in the future it would be tuning the kick drums automatically to note names. There is much debate on if this is overkill, but I have found it is a fantastic technique to get the bass and kick to gel.
There are of course many free and paid for drum samples out there that provide these sounds, but as we spoke about in the original review, they can’t provide the special tuning and filtering that the Vlinn provides.
What is missing from these raw Vlinn sounds that the sample libraries may have included is outboard processing to make them sound like the records we probably want to emulate the sound of. I think that half the fun is doing that yourself and in the process making your own sound. Running the drum bus out through an old consumer cassette deck should get you very close to the 80’s sound indeed, there maybe one lurking in your attic right now!
Vlinn’s GUI and features offer plenty of opportunity to experiment and play about with the drum sounds that sample libraries don’t provide. It is easy to set-up multiple outs from your DAW and process each sound individually. It really is a much more fun experience than using samples, and that is what it should be about!
UPDATE: Kirkwood West has created a VLinn Drum Rack for Ableton Live users to take advantage of. It sets up the VST on a Drum Rack by mapping each pad to a specific drum pad.

Description : VProm is a genuine Linn LM-1 VST that emulates all the symbols and internal circuits of the legendary drum machine based on the first sample in history. The Linn LM-1 drum module, invented by Roger Linn in the early 1980s
Linn LM-1 was a Drum machine in the early 80’s. It was used to form the sound of key artists such as: Prince, Phil Collins, Thompson Gemini, Stevie Wonder, Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Michael Jackson, etc. So far, the unique sound of this machine is highly valued and only using samples the LM-1 output can not reproduce the wide range of sounds that this unit can produce, especially the tuning function and frequency content. The AM6070 DACs and the whole circuit stand next to the symbol patterns in this unique sound command.
for better installation, you must disable the Internet.
New in version
May 22, 2017 The following list contains what we consider to be the best plugin drum machines in the world right now. Note that we're not focusing on drum samplers/modules here: with one exception, all the plugins on this list have their own sequencing capabilities. The drum machines are listed in roughly ascending price order. Sep 26, 2018 Description: VProm is a genuine Linn LM-1 VST that emulates all the symbols and internal circuits of the legendary drum machine based on the first sample in history. The Linn LM-1 drum module, invented by Roger Linn in the early 1980s Linn LM-1 was a Drum machine in the early 80’s.
This plugin was previously called VLINN (before version 2.0).
The AudioUnit format still reports the placement of the old name,
and this means that you will find AU under the name VLINN.

In addition to the new features of the cross-platform version of VPROM version 2, there are some improvements and changes compared to version 1
New MIDI panel with MIDI-trained customizable trigger cards
Change the default MIDI Trigger Card (see the manual)
New panning capabilities for each drum, panning knobs will replace the regulator line with a pop-up window (available by clicking on the TUNE label in the graphical interface). See Control Panels)
Improved graphical user interface
Now all EPROMS can be replaced instead of 7 of them in version 1
Simplify and accelerate the download and management of custom EPROMs; You no longer need to specify the size, VPROM does it for you. After downloading, the user EPROMs are saved with a patch
The additional CUSTOM voice is renamed to EXTRA and is now loaded by default with the modified Snare stock (unchanged) (see Manual -> Downloading EPROM)
Double-clicking on the control resets to the default for most GUI controls
ALT + Left-click on each Tune control to accurately set the clock frequency by entering a value. The main information display will only show the last modified information or parameter value, for example, where EPROM .bin is loaded or pen, slider, etc. The current value
In addition to the initial speed mode, there are now 2 full speed modes with linear and now exponential response
The incoming MIDI message Pitch-Bend is now recognized and acts as a global adjustment offset, great for live modification of the entire set or for transferring up or down
VPROM now transmits its triggers as MIDI OUT
An external MIDI control interface can now only connect to MIDI CC messages (no more than Sysx or aftertouch)
Features:
Features of VProm:The AM6070 simulated real-time decoding of the DAC: after an accurate decoding table for the data table for 8-bit companded incoming data. The real LM-1 nasty grid sound on every field, like the real thing, forgets to resample or customize the sample packets that will always seem boring at lower steps.
Hihat DATA looping and VCA: Hihat’s LH-1 scheme was pretty unique, the hihat firmware was constantly being read in the loop, while only the VCA was running, for a closed hihat circuit it was able to defuse the current through an additional method based on the bank decay setting. This basically makes the hihat sound different in every hit.
CEM VCF filters: unlike the very first LM-1 units released, the later versions were filtering voices with a bass frequency to minimize the remaining 8-bit noise using the CEM 3320 VCF configured as a low-pass filter without resonance. The frequency of the VCF CV was formed by the circuit in such a way that the transients pass relatively unfiltered. VProm allows you to fine tune the CV pulse or completely bypass the filter, it’s useful when the voice is set very low or if you want to replace the “Bass” slot with another EPROM that does not require filtering.
Separate pitch adjustment: this is one of the coolest features of the LM-1, allowing you to tune any voice to a specific frequency for a wide range of sounds. EPROM data was read by one byte at a time using a counter whose speed was monitored by a relatively stable oscillator, then the speed of reading the counters could depend on external tuning cameras in a limited range of + or – 1 octave. This tuning range can be changed, and VProm provides a useful wide range of steps from 1000 Hz to 44,100 Hz and everything that is between them based on the real mode. (the reserve was about 12048 – 30303 Hz.).
Individual outputs: The LM-1 has separate outputs for each voice, since VProm. For each voice in the DAW, you can select ALL-1 Stereo channels or Individual channels.
Speed control: you can limit yourself to only two levels of speed or use the entire MIDI speed range for convenience.
GUI and automation: the graphical user interface has original trigger buttons for quickly listening and controlling all aspects of the drum machine, most parameters such as volume and pitch controls can be learned by MIDI to control changes from any external MIDI equipment.
Loading external EPROM data: VProm provides the ability to replace all voices with external compatible 8-bit data with combined EPROM data. Which opens the machine for the samples LINNDRUM (LM-2), LINN 9000, DMX, DX, DRUMTRACKS, etc. Or even loads its own order. You can switch between configurable downloadable and spare EPROMs on the fly. VProm Supports the following types and size EPROM files (.bin):
2716 (2048_Bytes) 2K.
2732 (4096_Bytes) 4K.
2764 (8192_Bytes) 8K.
27128 (16384_Bytes) 16K.
27256 (32768_Bytes) 32K.
LINN LM-1 Sequencer:
Blinn 2.0 Linn Lm 1 Vst Download Free
It was not necessary to simulate the LM-1 sequencer, because regardless of all the urban legends about it, it’s basically 48 questions of PPQN (momentum per quarter note). Modern sequencers and DAWs have a finer resolution, usually around 960 PPQN or higher, it simply means that the same bit with some swings will not exactly match 960 or 48 PPQN … It’s easy to do to export your rhythm to MIDI a 48 PPQN and import it back. A full technical explanation is available in the VProm manual.
