Korg Rhythm 55 Drum Machine

via this auction
"There are 6 knobs for the volumes of each set of drum sounds: Bass drum, Snare, Cymbal, Hi-Hat, Toms/Conga, Rim/Cowbell/Claves
One of the best parts of the Rhythm 55 is that there is a trigger out (+5 volt) that will trigger most analog synthesizers, and other analog drum machines or modules, like a Tama Techstar. There are 4 different settings for how many pulses it sends per measure, and one setting that sends a pulse any time the kick drum hits. I tested this out, splitting the voltage, triggering a Korg MS-10 and a Tama Techstar TS204, and it sounded awesome. With this drum machine, there are endless musical combinations you can achieve triggering other analog gear."
