The LinnDrum II

Looks like BoomChick will now be called the LinnDrum II. Images send my way via Aaron.
Some info via this VSE thread send my way via MG (note the images are from this month's Future Music magazine):

"LinnDrum II
So no BoomChik but the name now is the LinnDrum II!

Article is in the new Future Music with nice pics (it looks quite different from the Boomchik pics):
2 versions of the new Drum Machine to be Launched:
1 All Digital with Sample playback
2 Digital and Analogue (IE version above but with 4 Voice analogue synthesis-and Evolver type bits and pieces) and 27 extra knobs

Some details:
OS emphasises usability and realtime performance
MPC and 808 style programming on 16 sensitive pads
16 MB flash RAM expandable by compact Flash
Pitch-space synthesis on analogue side
4 outputs plus 4 Analogue outputs (on analogue model)
2 Audio Inputs for processing etc
USB/MIDI in/out
Various processing options and its own individual 'sound'"

  1. I'm really looking forward to the release of this machine.
    Hope we get more details at NAMM.

  2. WANT!

    Though I think it's kind of funny that even the renders of this thing show off that same blasted overlay which has been driving me nuts about every DSI product to date. :(
