Didn't the Chamberlin drum machine predate this?
ReplyDeleteYep. I guess it's what you consider as the first drum machine. Via this post:
ReplyDelete"The Wurlitzer SideMan was arguably the world's first drum machine. It depends on whether you count the Chamberlin Rhythmate, which was introduced some years earlier, but featured tape loops instead of electronically generated drum sounds. In any event, the SideMan is definitely the first "beat box." I just picked this one up for $50. It's got all its guts exposed so you can see how it works."
