MPC electronics DSM-8+ analog drum module


via this auction

"This is a high-quality drum voice made by M.P.C. electronics of Cambridge, England, makers of "THE KIT" drum machine.

The unit also includes a simple pitch sequencer that lets you create variations in pitch with each trigger sent, for tom parts or more complex or experimental sounds.

The unit takes standard drum machine triggers, It's been tested with a Tr-808 and works perfect.

Sequencer functions are :
Beats/step : (1 to 4)
No. of steps (1 to 16)
Mode (4 diff pitch patterns)
Auto-reset (on-off)

Drum voice functions are :
Input sensitivity
Decay
Bend
Pitch
Mix
Tom/Bass or snare switch
Noise
Click
Level

Back functions :
Reset + hold (for sequencer)
Pad input + trigger input
Accent adjust
Output

The unit is very high-fi sounding for analog, the envelope is fast and it's easy to create punchy percussion sounds like kicks, snare, hi-hats claps toms etc etc.

I had a power supply made especially for it as it usually requires the DSM-1, which I don't have."

  1. This is made by Atlantex/MPC the same folks that made the MPC 1 and the Kit. I have the DSM-1 and it does sound better than typical analog stuff from the same time.
