The RM IV is a flexible and easy-to-use drum machine that
combines analog-style percussion synthesis with a fully
featured, intelligent percussion sampler.


Built using LinPlug's enhanced high-quality audio engine, the RM
IV features 18 velocity-sensitive Drum Pads that can be used to
trigger any of many different Audio Generator Modules. The
instrument features a modular design that currently includes 10
percussion synthesis algorithms, as well as a fully featured
percussion sampler. The 10 Synthesis modules offer enormous
creative potential and are able to create anything from classic
analog drum sounds to the cutting edge sounds of contemporary
music. The Sampler module provides single-sample, multi-sample,
velocity-layer and velocity-crossfade support, at up to 32-bit
resolution. The instrument also includes an AHDSR-controlled
multimode filter, a fully featured compressor designed
specifically for percussion sounds, a flexible "Humanizer" and a
6 x 6 Modulation Matrix. With so many new and innovative
features the RM IV takes LinPlug's highly successful RM product
line to the next level.

Musicians need tools that deliver; tools that enhance the
creative process, not tools that turn them into software
operators. The fourth-generation RM IV drum machine is focused
on being "musician-friendly", having been designed after an
intensive consultation process with many professional musicians.
The RM IV has numerous innovative ergonomic features that set it
apart from its competitors. These include an all-in-one edit
screen that enables operation with the least possible number of
mouse clicks making the user experience fast and intuitive. The
RM IV also features an "intelligent" sample module that
automatically switches off unused modules (envelopes, effects,
etc.) thus ensuring optimal usage of CPU resources. In addition,
the RM IV has a timesaving "preview in context" feature that
enables individual samples and even whole kits to be browsed as
the instrument plays back a sequence.

The RM IV is suited to a wide range of users, including everyone
from amateurs right up to professional musicians. The unique
combination of synthesis and sampling in one instrument means
that the RM IV is likely to be the only software drum machine
you'll ever need. Along with this, the instrument's intuitive
user interface, high quality audio engine, and wide selection of
drum synthesis methods give the RM IV user limitless creative
possibilities. All these features make the RM IV the tool for
producing drum and percussion tracks on your PC or Mac. So,
whether you want to recreate the classic analog sounds of the
drum machines of yesteryear, or you want to forge the drum
sounds of tomorrow, you need look no further than the LinPlug RM
