"This is a highly-sought after and increasingly rare analog sound processor/drum machine. Its appeal is its repertoire of deep, rich analog sound which are unique AND FUNCTIONAL... not just weird sounds...
First, this is a drum "brain" --- that is, there is no on-board sequencer/rhythm maker----you need to trigger it with a sequencer or something else. Originally, this was used back in the 80's I guess, triggered by electric drum pads. Now a days, people trigger it with other drum machines, sequencers, or their computers via a MIDI-enabled intermediary (e.g., Roland TR-808, 909, 707, etc).
Second: this is triggered with analog-ins. You need a triggering-source with enough amp/voltage in that triggering-source (something I never fully understood, I'm not an electrician) to get a good signal out of the DRUM-X. Most analog-keyboards have no problem triggering it. Roland TR-707, Roland TR-727, TR-808, and TR-909 also trigger it with no problems based on what I've seen on the internet.
It should be noted however that not all Roland TR drum machines trigger this (that is, other models besides the ones mentioned above) so beware."
