With many quality sample kit of the LM1 floating around the web, you can also use your favorite drum sampler and load the wav files into it.

    Just a heads-up, Junn JM-1 unfortunately doesn’t allow you to tune your drums. This is especially detrimental if you’re trying to get a Prince/Minneapolis Funk sound.
