Sequential Circuits Drumtraks Demos

"Running through some favorite beats I made on my Drumtraks, an 8-bit sample based drum machine from 1984 with real-time volume & tuning controls. It has the same 24db Curtis chip used in the DMX. It was one of the first MIDI devices, so with a keyboard, you can input beats with velocity sensitivity. I believe tuning tweaks can also be recorded live per beat. One thing that sucks for Roland fans, is that Drumtraks has no step-time mode.
Since the "holy grail" Linn LM1 costs as much as a mortgage down payment these days, and LinnDrum and DMX prices are only going to go up, I would consider the Drumtraks a great alternative if you like the sound of 80s digital drum machines. Although not very popular, this is clearly an 80s drum machine to the bone!
NOTES: I am using the mono-out into a Behringer Xenyx 1202FX wth a tad of reverb and effects stuff here and there. No snares are used in this video. I am using a Roland footswitch to change the beat sometimes due to issues with the keypad. Left LCD = tuning of the instrument and volume depending on which knob you use, right LCD = the beat you are on."
