Rare drum machine in perfect working condition.  This drum machine literally has every sound in the book, 70s-late 90s sounds.  House, to latin, to acoustic, to 808s 909s, and various other cool 90s and late 80s sounds unique to this drum machine, it even has bass sounds you can play chromatically, bass and acoustic.  Super sweet drum machine, 16 mpc style pads you can tune and adjust parameters such as adsr per drum machine.  Super easy to sequence it records and auto loops, made countless songs and loops  that I used years later.  Sounds surprisingly live and human.  Very rare, I've seen this in stones throw records studio! The secret sauce used in a lot of hip hop and electronic.  This absolutely kills the 707, 727, the 505, and the 626 drum machines that are highly sought after... and in my opinion I would much rather have this than a LinnDrum or DMX or Drumtraks...  This is essentially an R8 on steroids but in a more compact updated chassis with more editing parameters...  Comes with a charger, theres some electrical tape to cover up a tear in the rubber in the charger wire but hasn't affected the functionality and I've been using for years in the studio.   Also replacement chargers can be found for cheap online. The only minor imperfection is a tiny chip in the plastic in the back, it's hardly noticeable and doesn't affect functionality at all but want to give notice for full transparency.

I don’t mind keeping it but will let it go for the right price... the truth is this is my favorite drum machine of all time...  This is the secret drum machine used by juke footwork legends, TekLife, RP Boo, as well as EBM industrial and hiphop legends ranging from Wax Trax to Stones Throw.
