Audio Blast builds the plugin around three sound ROMs, with one recreating the LM-1 sound selection, another capturing the character of the 9000 version, and a third adapted from ’80s drum sounds.

03In depth

Three Sound ROMs and a Custom Pad

Audio Blast includes three sound ROMs, each offering a different flavor of classic drum sounds. ROM 1 is a faithful recreation of the LM-1 sound selection, ROM 2 captures the essence of the 9000 version, and ROM 3 is a custom adaptation inspired by authentic ’80s drum sounds.

The custom pad lets you load your own samples, such as drums, bass or other sounds, directly into your presets. This extends the built-in voices with material from your own library, so the drum palette can be shaped around each project.

Per-Sound Control and Multi-Output Routing

Each drum sound can be adjusted individually for pitch, volume and panning, so every voice can be fitted into the mix. The plugin supports multiple outputs, with 16 stereo channels or aux sends available to assign.

With separate outputs you can process each sound independently in your DAW. Audio Blast notes that EQ, compression and reverb applied at this stage can add punch and extend the sonic range of the classic drum voices.
