Just pulled this out of the closet; An analog drum-machine from Korg. A rather famous one at that. Depeche Mode used it in their 1st albums, as well as Jean Michel Jarre. Both are heroes of mine in the early days of electronic drumming.
The machine is so primitive that it cannot be programed. You pretty much have to play it………. switching patterns and modes; toggle switches and the like. A nice machine with good sounds; However, I’m finding it hard to bring it to today’s standards. I’ve tracked this composition to around 69 beats per minute. I’ve added no effects. It’s just me playing.
I expect to use this in an upcoming song. Just throwing this out there as a raw sample.
