My first drum machine. The pawn shop said $25 and I talked em down to $18!
Incredibly stiff machine with no swing or shuffle. But the high hats are to die for. They cut through anything. They’re thicker sounding than an 808′s hats. I had when people mod these things though. Buy a sampler if you want variations of the original voices. I had analog solutions do invidual outs and every voice bled. A disappointment.
