"A Vintage MFB 501 drum machine, a feature-packed analog preset rhythm box with character and history. Ideal for those who appreciate vintage rhythm units with flexibility and personality.
The machine works flawlessly — all modes, rhythms, and functions tested and functioning.
The original case shows signs of wear (cosmetic and does not affect functionality)
A suitable power supply (PSU / adapter) is included with the unit.
Features & Highlights
Analog preset rhythm machine with 10 internal instruments and 64 presets + fill-ins, ranging stylistically from waltz to samba to heavy rock and even odd time-signatures such as 5/4, 11/8, 7/8 and 15/8.
Here is an overview of the rhythms:
Individual instrument mute switches for Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Tom Tom, Low Bongo, High Bongo, and more.
Tempo control, start switch, and a toggle to select fill-in type (after each bar, or every third bar)
Stereo output with instruments panned (except the bass drum) — adds nice stereo character.
A unit that offers both pleasing vintage character and creative flexibility: the wide array of presets and unusual multimeter rhythms make it more than just a simple rhythm box.
Why this machine?
If you’re looking for a vintage machine that adds both sound and personality to your setup, this is a great pick:
Works reliably and has been kept in working order.
Offers much more versatility than basic preset boxes thanks to its large number of rhythms and odd-meter options.
A good choice for a studio, live setup or collector. While the case shows wear, that only adds to the vintage aesthetic for many enthusiasts.
This MFB 501 is a great opportunity to own a versatile vintage drum machine with serious character — fully functional, feature-rich, and ready to bring rhythm and flair into your setup. If you’re into vintage gear, rhythm machines, or analog character, you’ll love this one."
