The RMV is a dream machine, but you need to try it to understand just how flexible it is, how intuitive and easy to use the interface is, how well the library system works.

With their new VST Instrument, Linplug are aiming to combine the flexibility of a software synth and sampler with the simplicity of a hardware drum machine. Until recently I'd ignored the Linplug range of VST Instruments, as the name mistakenly led me to believe they were associated with Linn, and I've never been a big fan of Linn drum machines. I was missing out. Linplug's name actually comes from founder Peter Linsener, and the company is steadily making a name for itself with some great instruments.

You can check this out for yourself by downloading their freeware Alpha synth, a two-oscillator analogue clone that gives the BassStation a good run for its money. RMIV is a VSTi that packages powerful sample playback and analogue-style synthesis into a very user-friendly virtual drum machine. The module's features and capabilities (and price point) place it in the same ball park as Native Instruments' Battery and FXpansion's DR008, but Linplug have tried to set it apart by their choice of user interface. The result is that users familiar with, say, Reason's Redrum, or a hardware drum machine, will be more comfortable with RMIV than with a typical sampler package.

At present RMIV requires a VST host, running under either Windows or Mac OS X. I couldn't get it to run in any of the OS X 'wrappers', so this pretty much limits you to using it with Cubase if you're on the Mac. However, Linplug are working on Audio Units support, which will bring Logic and DP users into the fold. There are no plans for an RTAS version. Installation is from a single CD, including the 1GB (after decompression) sound and kit library.

See the separate box for a look at the supplied kits, and info about compatibility with other sample banks. Copy protection is handled by typing your serial number into the field on the Reason-style 'back' of the unit (accessed by clicking the logos). Half of RMIV's front panel is dedicated to 18 drum 'pads', each representing a slot that can be used to configure a sample, velocity-mapped stack of samples, or a drum synthesizer. Each pad is assigned to a single note for playback from a keyboard or the host sequencer. Additionally, mouse-clicking the pad will trigger the sound, with the nice touch of varied velocity depending on how far to the right you click.

Clicking a pad's LED display causes the rest of the unit to devote itself to editing that particular sound. This is when you start to realise that the simplicity and sparseness of the front panel conceal the true flexibility and power of the instrument. The envelopes, filter, effects, compressor and 'varizer' (more on this later) are unique to each pad. In other words, each pad is literally a separate instrument, with none of the compromises and sharing of modulation and signal-processing resources you'd have to account for in an analogue synth, or most hardware drum machines. Although it only provides six controls, RMIV's clap synthesizer is surprisingly versatile.Above the pads is a module selector, which switches the currently selected pad from a sampler to a synth.

Besides the sampler option, there are two kick synth modules, two snares, tom, open and closed hats, two cymbals, clap, and something called 'plop' to choose from. All the synth modules are based on classic analogue drum synthesis, mainly combining and shaping sine, pulse and noise generators. Unsurprisingly, then, the results are along the lines of early drum machines; if you want more realistic modelling then you should concentrate on using sampled waveforms as your starting point. However, if electronic and dance drum sounds are your thing you'll be in your element with this side of RMIV. Some of the synth algorithms are better than others, for example the extremely warm, fat kicks and toms, and the brilliant clap. The snare synth can do the business for certain sounds, but isn't that versatile. Download Lagu Petra Sihombing Mine Versi English.

The hats are disappointing: mainly variations on pretty harsh noise bursts. The cymbal synths are great for producing some very nice delicate and lively harmonic tones, less so for harsh crashes. 'Plop' is useful for short percussive tones such as blocks, cowbells, triangles, or more far-out splats, clicks and bleeps. Slimdrivers Portable Download.

Even if you can't quite nail the sound you're after using the synth module alone, you still have the pad's envelope-controlled filter, mod matrix, and effects to further shape the basic sound. Linplug RMIV 149 Euros pros • Full-featured drum sampler. • Authentic analogue-style drum synthesis without the learning curve.

• All effects, filters and envelopes unique to each pad. • Great interface. Cons • Built-in pattern sequencer would be nice. • VST-only at the moment. • Although generous, the library could be improved with some tweaks. Summary A seamless mix of sampling and synthesis, in a package suited to on-the-fly, hands-on programming. A piece of software that's as much fun to use as a hardware drum machine?
