Even Though the file clearly states: "CM-505 OS9x"; it is Os X only.
One of those weird  mysteries... 

Steinberg LM4 MKII is the best in this class IMHO.
http://www.kvraudio.com/product/lm_4_markii_by_steinberg



But in my opinion don't mess with this kind of Drum Machine...
because they don't do nothing than a medium class sampler can do...

[supernova777]

isnt there a problem with copy protection on this lm4 mk2?

did u download the file?
its 530mb of "mac software"
and they offer some samples too 1.9gb Bonus samples file
i wonder whats in this;o

[supernova777]

dont be so sure   



anything from 2003/2004 that claims to hav mac os 9 version

file is attached with pdf manual + kits

testing it now and it seems to work nicely;)
its actually not bad! it may be simple but very usefull
when used with a drumtrack in cubase vst for example

now i can understand the comments here on this page
as recent as 2012 when this was made in 2003!

This drum machine is pure analog and it sounds funky i love it, hard to believe this is free, I am a big fan of analog drum machines and have been looking for this particular sound on the computer, it has that mechanical low-fi very dirty sound. Also the sound shaping is awesome.

[MacTron]

dont be so sure   

You are right. It works on Mac Os 9! Thank you.
...so my copy was damaged or incomplete ¿? ...

isnt there a problem with copy protection on this lm4 mk2?

Yes for sure. But I don't have this one.
The Steinberg Copy Protection CD'S are kids games ... I like to make backups of Steinberg Copy Protected Cds in my free time. LOL 

[supernova777]

....

mk1 is very different from mk2?

[MacTron]

mk1 is very different from mk2?

Yes, it is. MK1 is Just "another one". But MK2 seems far superior...

[MacTron]

Yes for sure. But I don't have this one.

Not really. Because I just found version 1.0 and 1.1 update.
But without Original CD (which I don't have) it don't work.

[supernova777]

i still think its worth it to post this cm-505 in the vst section'
for the noobs who will not see this thread..
plus its a very small file size.. this is the kind of vst we should readily have here for public dl;)

u know maybe even the reverse of TVZ.. TFZ (the free zone) is what we need maybe
to have a section that isnt even hidden to only logged in users but shows up for anyone surfing to the
forum without even being logged in

TFZ is "outside" the forum. Is on the Main page http://macos9lives.com/mac%20os%209%20lives_004.htm, don't you think?
Maybe "there", outside the forum, should be expanded with "that" The Free Zone, but only if some help is offered to Admins., we can't push ANYMORE them. We have got the BEST OS9 zone EVER. For me it is perfect as it is. Americans say

If aint broke, don't fix it

 

[supernova777]

well tbh..
TFZ is this area we are talking in..
http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?board=19.0

its open to the public
regardless of acount

[supernova777]

thats for sure;)
i agree. so much potential waiting to be unlocked with the things we have here..
now + forever.

i await the day that you guys will learn to love ableton live
and use this via rewire in protools/cubase/logic

i myself really want to learn digital performer better..
need to read the performer4.0 book more closely
or find the 3.0 manual for sale
i cant find this anywhere

also i want to get back to using reason some aswell

[Protools5LEGuy]

this is the kind of vst we should readily have here for public dl;)

Maybe after we "clean" the "free" downloads and ask Computer Music Magazine to release SOME of their "Obsolete" exclusive software. If we offer ONLY demos in the free zone, they could agree to give them...

[MacTron]

i still think its worth it to post this cm-505 in the vst section'

Ok, it will be posted into the downloads section alongside others "Computer Music" VSTs: CM-101, SR-202, CM-303 and DS-404.

[supernova777]

ok wow what are all of those other ones??
u should be careful tho to bundle these things up in a package like that..
most people will not see what each thing is.. overlooking.. because they dont learn
even if they download it.. what it is. and what it does..
cm-101?
sr-202?
cm-303?
ds-404?
these things really exist?
what are they?
why not post them seperately? so we can post info on these things?
its the same as how u posted koblo 9000 series plugins..
i had no idea untill i researched further that one was a drum sampler.. one a synth. one  sampler player.. etc etc this was not obvious .. and will not be obvious to anyone in the future unless they are posted seperately with info

[IIO]

i´d rather add them into the respeitive developer category, some of the CM plug-ins exist as other freeware distributions, too.

i´d rather add them into the respective developer category, as some of the CM plug-ins exist as other freeware distributions, too.

i kind of agree but mactron has done it the way he has done it;) and it works fine this way i guess
