The RM 2 is much more than just a sample player. The RM 2 was built on base of the enormous creative potential of the Rupsta gamma sample player. RM 2 has a lot of professional features added - e.g. a LM-4 drum kit import. RM 2 is a rhythm sample player featuring 18 pads with up to 32 samples each. It is 24 voice polyphonic (cpu dependent) and has a stereo as well as 6 individual outs. The sounds are based on standard WAV or AIFF files (up to 32 bit / 96kHz) that can be loaded direct from the instruments front panel. The sound may be adjusted in volume and panning and may be tuned within a range of +- 2 octaves.

Enormous creative options are offered by the specialized attack-hold-decay envelopes for volume and pitch. Samples may be layered up to 32 layers or split into 32 velocity zones or a mixture of both arrangements. Alltogether up to 576 samples can be loaded and individually triggered. On the front panel there are pads to trigger the samples, muting- and solo-switches for easy adjustment of the drum kit and direct access to various choke options. Any parameter may be controlled with any external hardware controllers imagineable, due to our unique ECS ('Easy Controller Setup').

RM 2 allows export and import of complete drum kits in it's own drum kit format. Furthermore all drum kits of the popular Rupsta alpha, Rupsta gamma, Steinberg LM-9 and LM-4 are fully supported. This means that all those high quality LM-4 kits - including all (:wizoo:) -kits - can be loaded into the RM-2. Timing is certainly sample accurate and automation and post-processing functions of VST2.0 compatible host software are supported. All this makes RM 2 an excellent tool and flexible instrument for all modern music styles.

System requirements: A VST2.0 capable host software and a PC with at least 266MHz
