1970's MTI Auto Orchestra Drum Machine / Bass Piano & Organ Synth - Model 16R

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. Demo for the listing below: "Simple drum and bass sample... Piano and Organ are not on auto play in this sample - but I tap a few organ notes anyway. -- At the end of the sample I'm wiggling the Envelope dial kind of like a DJ scratch. AND the amp I'm using for this sample has a full range speaker - not a guitar speaker. If you hook it up to a regular guitar amp - well that won't do. This system was designed for running through a PA or dedicated amp with a full range speaker."

"OK - here's a vintage 1970's drum machine with toms, cymbal, snare and cowbell - lots of presets there from waltz tempo to funky time - variable beat. It comes with a keyboard pedal for organ and piano - and it appears that pedal activates the bass too. There's a lot of things to play with on this and they all work - every button and knob. -- It's missing one button cover on the pedal - a piano note - but it works. -- The volume pedal works but someone has screwed on a piece of wood at the end of it - so it defaults to full volume - when tilted back the volume decreases but not quite all the way to mute - doesn't matter because the start / stop button is on the pedal too and finishes any fade out."
