VProm 3 is a software plugin that authentically recreates the sound and behavior of one of the most iconic drum machines from the early 1980s, known for pioneering the use of real drum samples. Unlike conventional sample-based instruments, VProm employs precise modeling of the original hardware's clocks, counters, and digital-to-analog converters to decode EPROM memory in real-time. This approach ensures an unmatched level of authenticity, capturing the raw character and unique nuances of the original circuitry, including the legendary hi-hat sounds and customizable transient shaping through emulated filters and voltage-controlled amplifiers.
The latest version of VProm introduces significant enhancements in both functionality and user experience. It supports modern Mac systems with native VST3 and AU formats optimized for both Intel and Apple Silicon processors. The plugin features a built-in WAV resampler and EPROM burner, allowing users to convert samples into authentic 8-bit EPROM images for playback through the emulated hardware. A comprehensive EPROM management panel offers advanced visualization and easy organization of custom drum sets, while real-time control over DAC curve response provides creative options for shaping transient and distortion effects. The upgraded mixer allows flexible routing options, and the internal clock emulation delivers vintage groove timing with adjustable humanized drift for natural rhythmic feel.
VProm 3 expands its sonic palette with new drum voices and enhanced voice card features, including advanced controls for filters and envelopes that deepen sound shaping possibilities. Users benefit from improved oversampling modes for higher fidelity and compatibility with previous versions' presets and custom EPROMs. The updated interface offers scalable vector graphics and multiple vintage skins for an authentic look and feel. This plugin stands out by providing a truly hardware-accurate drum machine experience, preserving the raw, unprocessed sound that shaped music production history while delivering modern workflow enhancements for today's producers.
