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.
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.
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.
