DM1 For Mac

DM1 is an affordable, yet versatile virtual drum machine application for the macOS platform featuring 5 different sections: a step sequencer, a drum pad, a mixer, FX trackpads and a song composer. The combination of all these modules results in an effective and fun to use beat creator.

A great benefit for using DM1 is that it includes 86 high quality electronic drum kits divided into 66 in-house kits and 20 vintage ones. All kits have been created at the Fingerlab professional studio by the makers of DM1 themselves.

DM1 sports a well-organized and smooth-looking user interface where you can view all the included modules in different panes. What’s more, the GUI was designed to eliminate unneeded clutter and to offer only all essential functions in one straightforward layout.

By accessing the Step Sequencer, you can toggle the available steps and create unique rhythms in a matter of seconds. The sound effects include a kick, snare, hhopen, hhclosed, clap, rimshot, cowbell, tom, cymbal and more.

In the Drum pads, you have the power to plan and capture beat sounds that you can produce by hitting the buttons on your keyboard. Moreover, thanks to the automatic quantize feature, you can achieve great drum tracks.

The Mixer includes various knobs for configuring the sample length, pan, pitch, volume and user-defined drum kit elements for each channel, both in solo and mute modes. Each of these controls allow you to effortlessly sound mix your drum kits.

All things considered, DM1 is a streamlined beat making software machine for all music enthusiasts. Due to its support for MIDI In and Out, the application can even be integrated into your favorite DAW. On top of this, the price / value ratio seems excellent.
