"CONDITION: The unit is fully working and in very good cosmetical condition for its age with some minor cosmetical traces of use. It comes with the original intro/fill in and start/stop pedal (super hard to find!). The only thing to report is that the on/off potentiometer (which is the same potentiometer that controls the volume) in this model only works as a volume potentiometer. So, to turn the drum machine on and off you simply have to unplug it! Real vintage gem in super great condition for its age: grab a bargain!

DESCRIPTION: The Eko Ritmo 12 has, as the name suggests, a selection of 12 preset rhythms to choose from. The machine also offers Intro and Fill-in breaks for each of the 12 rhythms.

The rhythms are selected by 6 black switches arranged in a 6 x 2 format. All of the switches have built in red LED's to indicate the rhythm selected.

The rhythms encoded in memory are:

· Bank 1: Waltz, Tango, March, Swing, Ballad, Bossa Nova.

· Bank 2: Cha-Cha, Beguine, Samba, Rock, Disco 1, Funky.

The sound quality of the voicing of this drum machine is very good, especially the Snare, Hi-Hat, Cymbal and Cowbell!

Eko was the Italian brand that produced many legendary instruments. The Company was based in Marche, Italy, in the same area where Elka, Elgam, Farfisa, Crumar, Jen, Siel, Solton, CRB, etc. were born.

This is your chance to get your hands on a super rare drum machine made in Italy!"
