SampleScience have released VR-55 DrumComputer, available as a FREE download.
VR-55 DrumComputer is a faithful yet enhanced emulation of the iconic Boss DR-55 drum machine, famously used by Depeche Mode in the early ’80s. Designed to capture the essence of this vintage classic while offering modern functionality, VR-55 delivers a rich and versatile drum experience.
This virtual version goes beyond the original by adding powerful features for creative flexibility, while staying true to the character of its legendary sounds. Note: the sequencer is not included in this version.
Whether you’re producing retro synth-pop, exploring darkwave beats, or just looking for a classic, unmistakable drum sound, VR-55 DrumComputer combines vintage charm with modern flexibility — all in an easy-to-use plugin.
Features include :
- Authentic Sounds: Features the original 4 drum voices of the DR-55 — kick, snare, rim, and hi-hat — meticulously recreated for a warm, nostalgic tone.
- Exclusive Cymbal Sound: Includes a rare cymbal sample extracted via a DR-55 modification, adding new sonic possibilities.
- Layering Power: The drum kit is replicated three times, allowing you to layer sounds and sculpt a custom, punchy drum mix.
VR-55 DrumComputer is available to PC and Mac users (VST2, VST3 and AU).
