Hello there,
I'm really sorry, I did not record the sounds created by lmmodel13jo.
So I took the synthesized sounds and I put them here on wikimedia

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Lmmodel13.ogg

lmmodel13jo is the same application as in lmmodel12jo lighter. because I
use fork

I just wanted to give information on the drums, I return code.
best regards
