"This 8-bit Viscount R-64s Italian drum machine just got back from being serviced and is working perfectly. In this video you can see that there are knobs for individual and grouped drum sounds, buttons for cancelling groups of drums, adding or removing the Clap sound, and adding fills. Two or three of the many preset patterns are used. Stereo outputs hard panned in a mixer, so you can hear the machine’s stereo separation. Snare out to the Peavey DDL-3 pedal, panned center."

"This Viscount R64S drum machine was made in 1980s Italy, and is much more than a typical “rhythm machine”. It has great 8-bit sample-based drum sounds, can do Techno or hip hop, can waltz and swing, and has 16 TR-808-style buttons to select preset patterns, each with four variations (select 1-4).
With the R-64S and a delay pedal you don’t even need music, but it plays well with others. This has an internal clock and a CLOCK OUT. It also has a CLOCK IN! I used Pamela’s New Workout on it. It has a stereo output, with panning. The snare drum has its own output!"
