Patches for drumDING: Vermona drumDING Patch Book with 32 Sounds and Project
by Synthy Craft
$24.99
Your drumDING has one analog voice, six tracks and a sampler. This book shows you what that voice can really do.
Patches for drumDING is a hands on patch book for the Vermona drumDING. 32 sounds, each on its own page, each built on the real machine and checked by ear. Set the knobs, sample the sound, and it plays. Then turn the numbered knobs and make it yours.
New to drumDING? A full kit in about 10 minutes
Section 01 is a starter kit for classic techno with one sound per track: kick, closed hat, open hat, clap, perc and bass. Follow six pages and your drumDING plays a complete kit with levels and patterns already worked out. No guessing and no reading the manual cover to cover.
Section 01: the starter kit, six tracks with patterns and levels
Know your way around? A library of 26 more sounds
Section 02 goes further. Long, hard and noisy kicks, snare, ride, crash, rimshot, tom, conga, cowbell and shaker. Acid, sub, pulse, FM, metal and rubber basses. A rave stab, plucks, a hypnotic double tone, a gong, a roll and a ring modulated blip. Many of them push the modulator to audio rate, the trick behind those modular style sounds.
A library sheet: Acid Bass
What is on every page
The drumDING panel drawn 1:1, with the exact position of every knob and switch
Numbers 1 to 5 on the knobs that change the sound most, with what each one does and which way to turn it
Knobs that do nothing for this sound are greyed out, so you only look at what matters
Track settings after sampling: LEVEL, TUNE, envelope, DRIVE, DELAY, REVERB and parameter locks
A step pattern to start from, plus variations with velocity, probability and tuning
A full sheet: Techno Kick
Learn to build your own sounds
This is more than a list of settings. Every sheet explains the signal path, what each numbered knob does, which way to turn it and why the sound works. After a few pages the routing mixer, the filter, the modulator and the sampler make sense, and you start building your own sounds on the drumDING from scratch. Each patch becomes a starting point for dozens of new ones. Effects, tuning and pattern ideas are already on the page.
The panel up close: the orange arc shows where each knob sits
