Ever wanted that punchy Linn LM-1 flavor right in your Eurorack case? Deft Audio’s new Luma-mu module brings a single-voice channel ripped straight from their Luma-1 drum machine into a compact 10HP package. It loads up to eight 8-bit mu-Law EPROM samples (about 1.5 seconds each), and since it’s pure digital playback—no microcontrollers or software—it fires off your kicks and snares in nanoseconds.
What’s cool is how hands-on it gets: swap out EPROMs from the front or use the optional “Reacharound” extender, then tweak pitch, dynamics, or even resequence sounds via CV. You can trigger one-shots, loop samples as wave oscillators or clock it externally to lock in tight grooves. There’s even free software for making your own EPROM banks if you want to load up weird, custom samples.
Whether you’re beefing up a Luma-1 or building a standalone beat-maker, the Luma-mu slots seamlessly into any modular setup at just 10HP depth. It’s shipping now for $279 USD—ready to inject some vintage grit into your next patch.

About Me
Hi, I’m Canoy Dang. I grew up in Granada and now living in Málaga, in the south of Spain. Sound has always played a central role in my life — from early home recordings to the deeper, ongoing exploration of the modular synth world. Modular, semi-modular, and desktop synthesizers have become my main tools for expression, experimentation, and sometimes, simply for getting lost in the process.
