"this drum module has strange pad input jacks that I have no clue what they are. I triggered it with the aux inputs when I used it so if you plan to use pads for this you will need special plugs (4 prong female) that I have never seen before? There are 5 pad inputs 1 for the first 3 channels and channels 3,4,and,5 share a input and channels 6,7,8 share a input. Two channels are not working and some of the buttons to set the channels to be triggered by the built in sequencer don't work as well as the buttons to choose between the preset program and manual control. Some pots are scratchy not bad though and only a few. This also has a "micro sequencer" which are preset patterns that you can not edit or program and it is kinda useless because channel one is out and that is the preset kick. You can choose which channels are triggered by the sequencer with push buttons. Some of them don't stay down, some do but they all work. The same goes for the preset/manual switches. Channel 1 doesn't work and channel 6 doesn't work. There are knobs missing but all the pots and shafts are intact and some knobs are a bit mangled. Everything else works fine and this drum synth is in my opinion one of the best from that era. The synth is super rare and is totally useable for recording and sounds great."
