You describe the total opposite of my situation. I have very limited money and very limited space. Everything here must be spot-on and for me personally, Analog Rytm and Maschine is a really hard to beat drum combination. What else do I need?

I wouldn’t argue with taste, but comparing features is a meaningless game people play on the internet often driven by consumerism, issues with decision making, economic status, or just plain dissatisfaction from whatever. There’s no actual practicality in it when you sit down with something and actually create music.

I played it at the show and heard many new and inspiring things I never got from my beloved Rytm And it felt completely different, it took me down entirely new paths.

So go ahead and compare instruments, features, and prices all you want. Call them “real” or “overpriced” without really knowing anything meaningful about them. It’s all meaningless when it comes to actually making music. A guitar doesn’t cover violin territory, and I’d argue these two examples are less different than these two drum machines. People see names like “drum machine” or “synthesizer” and think that makes them comparable. But if they sound different, act completely differently, and have a totally different workflow, then the name is really the only thing they have in common.

I’m not against Vermona, the PERfourMER MkII is a very cool synth. But since you own an Elektron Analog Rytm, you know all the things, that you will never be able to do with this DrumDing. The Synth Anatomy video also says, DrumDing will not be cheap. Sorry, I only see downsides compared to a real Drum Machine and if I want to work with Samples, I go to NI Maschine and have 1 billion perfectly trimmed Samples.

It is!

Vermona products aren’t expensive, they’re well worth what you get.
I have a 10 year old Elektron Rytm and 20 year old Vermona DRM1 and after using this one a bit during the show I can clearly see its advantages.
You have no idea what it’s costs or what’s inside, you’re just ranting about something you don’t understand

Lol. I tell you the only advantage, it is Vermona’s advantage to implement only one voice, call it innovative and put a big, fat price tag on their product, like they always do. My 10 years old real Drum Machine from a Swedish developer is laughing about this “innovation”.

Workflow.
