"The machine was built in Germany in the early 80s and is in very good condition for its age.

CONDITION: The drum machine is fully working and cosmetically is in really good condition with some cosmetical traces of use! It comes with its vintage switch pedal for “start/stop” and “break random” functions! The dark green plastic cover on which the silkscreens are printed is slightly broken on two sides (please, check the photos), but nothing that compromises the functionality of the device! This drum machine has a great sound, super fat! Real vintage gem: grab a bargain!

FEATURES:

There are 20 rhythms stored as samples:

POP1 – POP2 – POP3 – POP4 – DISCO – REGGAE – ROCK – ROCK SHUFFLE – SLOW ROCK – FUNK – 5/4 SWING – 7/4 ROCK – SWING – JIVE – TWIST – MUSETTE JAZZ W. – LIMBO – BOSSA NOVA – R&R – BEGUINE.

There are also 3 variations of each rhythm (except for those in the bracket standing rhythms, since these are already a variation), a break, a solo and a fill in. So that makes a total of 60 rhythms, 60 breaks 60 fill ins and 20 solos.

An Auto Fill feature adds after the 4th, 8th or one random beat a fill in one.

The tempo is set with a "+" and a "-" button and changes back to an optimized pace when a new rhythm is selected. If you want this avoided, you have to press the "Hold" Button before changing the Rhythm.

For adjusting the volume, there is the silver-colored pot button.

The sound is punchy and reminiscent of a Linn drum from the 80s!

On the left side of the drum machine, you'll find two inputs for the included vintage pedal switch. One input controls the drum machine's start and stop function from the pedal, while the other input controls the random break function from the pedal."
