12 Switch Selected Rhythms

8 Percussion Voices

Curious what this sounded like. I've never seen one before. This is only the 20th Practical Electronics post on MATRIXSYNTH. That's out of over 140,000 posts.  Th others include the Minisonic and Minisonic 2, the PE Sound Synthesizer, and the the String Ensemble.  You'll find a few posts from Ken MacBeth and AM Synths AM8071 SnowFall Filter, which was "a traditional diode ladder low pass filter, similar to that in the EMS VCS3, Roland SH-3, System 100 and Practical Elctronics Minisonic 2."

  1. This Rhythm Unit was distributed by Watford Electronics as a kit. It's the Mark II Watford Electronics Rhythm Generator (the earlier model came out in 1976). Taken from the series of drum machine books called RHYTHM MACHINES by Alex Graham that are on Amazon.com. This model is in RHYTHM MACHINES - The Rise and Fall Of The Presets.
