"This is a Maxon DS-200 analog drum synthesizer which is a re-branded Tama DS-200. It looks and sounds exactly the same.
It was made in the late 70's, before Tama came out with the Techstar series. It sounds much warmer than the techstar in my opinion.(I personally still own both units).
Wonderful device for beeps, blips, disco hits and other strange space sounds...

The Maxon DS200 drum synthesizer has two oscillators that can be triggered via ¼” audio jacks mounted on the front of the unit.

Parameters that can be controlled are Sensitivity, Tune, Sweep Time, Sweep Range, Decay and output Level and arange of synthesized percussion can be created and customized.
Oscillators can be switched on or off via a front mounted switch, As well as the option for a foot pedal via ¼” jack.

The unit is a 100V unit but I will include a 110-130V to 100V converter. (see photo)

Please note - for countries with 220V-230V voltage, you'll need to use a 220V - 100V step down voltage converter (can be found in any electronics store)."
