Linn LM-1 Sounds For Eurorack Systems

After launching the Luma-1 project, which they describe as a precise recreation of the legendary Linn LM-1 with extended feature set, Deft Audio has announced the beginning of shipping for Luma-mu, a 10HP Eurorack module, which is essentially a single drum channel of Luma-1 which holds multiple sounds in its ROM. They say that it plays samples digitally without microcontroller or software used, which guarantees the lowest latency and highest response of its 8-bit mu-Law DAC. 

A spokesperson told us, "Luma-mu is perfect for Luma-1 expansion or standalone operation."

Luma-mu Features:

• 8-bit mu-law EPROM playback, exact copy of LM-1/Luma-1 channel
• Removable EPROMs with 8 sounds on each, 16KB each (~1.5sec/ea)
• True digital playback with no microcontroller or software involved, order of nanoseconds response time to the first sample
• CV control for sound select allows playing various sounds at each step
• CV control for Pitch and Dynamics
• Gate control for Reset, Pause and sample Trigger
• Can be clocked externally
• Ability to play one shot samples or looped sounds to use it with perfectly looped waveforms as a wave oscillator
• Comes with a software to make your own EPROMs
• EPROM is accessible from the front with optional Luma-mu Reacharound extender module
• Eurorack 10HP, 50mm depth
