"Yamaha DD-6 1989 drum machine featuring a 17-point modulation patch bay and pitch controller. The unit also includes an externally connected joystick module for manual activation of four additional modulation effects which are also combined on the diagonal axes for further processing options. Two latching/ momentary pre-set effect switches are also featured on this unit.

These custom modifications unlock an array of original sounds and rhythmic variations; making a single connection on the patch matrix can dramatically alter the output but applying multiple connections produces an increasingly complex, sometimes aleatoric range of reversed, tonal, bit crushed, flanged, distorted, aliasing and delayed sounds, additional accents, rhythmic patterns and digital noise. Additionally, the five included patch cables can be stacked for further sonic manipulation.

The patch bay and joystick affect the 100 tempo adjustable onboard rhythms and the velocity sensitive drum pads. The unit functions as normal when the patch bay is not implemented.

Mains (9- 12v DC) and battery powered (6 x AA), features a 1/4" output, no onboard speaker.

Dimensions: 42cm (L) x 27cm (W) x 12cm (H)."
