I just picked one up at a thrift store in southern Alaska for $25. Didn’t know what it was worth until I looked it up online….and for $25 it is the best damn fine 1979 time machine ever. 404 beats are sweet.

I just picked one up for £90 after reading about it here. Sounds amazing. Well worth the money and not as limited as i thought considering that they are only presets.

Hi Oliver. I think I have a Korg KPR-77 not getting any use. Is that something you’d be interested in? If so, drop me a note on facebook.

Sounds goddamn amazing, takes you back to the core, the good old days of drum machines…and if you’re going to use this in your future record it shall be one hell of a ear orgasm. For some reason it’d be interesting if you could use this old piece to mimic and mock the current day beats, nothing beats old school.
