"A rare opportunity to bid or buy a unique little modern beat box from MFB.
Not only packed with all the classic drum sounds with editable attack and release (decay), it also has a 16 step pattern sequencer with preset and user patterns, which works similarly in programming as that of the Boss DR-55.
It is nice condition and has been used in my smoke free home studio environment. For full disclosure, everything is working like it should, however, the level/parameter dial can be very slightly jumpy depending on how you turn it (ie, it will sometimes skip over a value or two). In practice, it's not really an issue as the sounds are mapped over several octaves and can be selected by MIDI, which is how you'll trigger the unit anyway. I just noticed it as I was going through the samples one by one using the unit itself without a MIDI keyboard to go through the sound banks (16 banks of 12 sounds) and record some samples when I had the unit on to take pictures (eg, 1211 = bank 12 sound 11). It wasn't a problem going through the parameter values, which have only 15 steps..."
