UP Ultimate Percussion Super-Analogue Drum Synthesizer

via this auction

"very-rare ONE-UP "Natural Response Super-Analogue Synthesizer System" made by Ultimate Percussion (UP). . , with the following controls (all knobs): Decay, VCO (sweep & pitch), Balane (VCO to Noise), Noise Filter, Bite, and Output Level. It is fully functional and works perfect! sounds amazing! It takes a 9-volt battery and an XLR cable."

What I don't understand about this auction is that it includes the video below which looks like an Alesis SR-16 repackaged. I watched it and don't understand the connection. If you do, feel free to comment. In regards to the repackaged Alesis SR16, what's up with that? I remember the ZOOM drum machine being repackaged here? What the hell is that? Hows does that work? I'd never expect to see the Andromeda repackaged. If anyone knows how that works, feel free to comment.

"Ever wish you could play drums without the whole neighborhood hearing you? ION delivers with the Electronic Drum Kit. Simply plug your headphones into the state-of-the-art sound module and pound away on the ultra sturdy drum pads. The sound quality is pristine and allows you to perfect your chops in privacy. The output of the sound module can be directed into any auxiliary stereo port or PA system when it's time to get loud! "

  1. If you look at sellers other auctions you can see that he's having the ION for sale too ... Maybe he chose (or by error) inserted the YouTube link :-)

  2. Yep. He probably mislinked.

    And Ion is a very off-brand of Numark. Hence the Alesis connection.
