"The Drumfire DF-2000 is a 2 channel rackmount drum synth.
The 2 channels are identical, with their own Trigger-In and Audio Out sockets.
Each channel is a mini analogue synth drum module, capable of producing a wide range of electronic drum sounds, and since every parameter is defined by a knob, it's highly tweakable.
The 2 drum channels each have
SENSITIVITY-controls pickup/trigger in sensitivity
OSCILLATOR DECAY-controls decay time of the synth oscillator
NOISE DECAY-controls decay time of the noise sound
SWEEP-alters oscillator frequency
CLICK (Switch)-adds a click sound to the attack
PITCH-changes oscillator pitch
BALANCE-controls balance between oscillator/noise
VOLUME-output volume to mixer
One out can be daisy chained to the next channel's input, so cascading up to a 2 oscillator synth drum sound! Great for crazy/weird/techno-y drum sounds."

FRONTLINE X-2 (DRUMFIRE DF-2000)

via this auction

"Offered for sale is this great Frontline X-2 Dual Drum Synth (also sold as the Drumfire DF-2000 in the USA) in perfect working order and excellent cosmetic condition (see detailed photos below).

We've had one of these in the studio for many years - a perfect companion to our 808 and Pearl Syncussion - it's capable of some monstrous subby kick and bass sounds, as well as a whole range of bleeps, bloops, whomps and crashes (and of course the inevitable disco toms).

This Japanese-made true analogue drum synth is a well-kept secret and couldn't be easier to use both live and in the studio: the front trigger buttons make it perfect for soundsystems wanting the ultimate Jah Shaka dub siren effects and much more besides (we also have a pair of Frontline Analogue delay units for sale - get in touch if interested).

As well as dub, the X2 can produce a wide range of other sounds, from tight and snappy 808 snare sounds to 70′s disco toms. Both Jah Shaka and Oliver Lieb have used these machines.

The X2 can be triggered by almost any audio input signal, from the buttons on the front, a snare running from your software sequencer, a piezo trigger or even a microphone.
There are two identical channels containing:

Manual trigger button
Sensitivity control
Oscillate decay1
Oscillator decay 2
Noise decay
Sweep
Pitch
Wave form shape
Click on/off control
Noise filter
Osc/noise balance
Master volume
Audio On Off
Pre-set or manual switch

It's in perfect working order - all pots move smoothly and noiselessly and function exactly as they should - it is a joy to play and program.

(It is always possible with vintage equipment that some crackly pots/sliders may develop over time when equipment has not been used - even during shipping - this can usually be easily rectified either by use or with a bit of switch-cleaning spray).

It has a few minor scuffs and scratches to the casing, but overall is in good clean condition.

I've not found any clips online that do it justice so have uploaded a demo to Soundcloud (see start of listing). [embed below]

It is a UK 240v model: the plug will be removed before shipping unless the buyer requests otherwise (except 110v countries where a step-up transformer will be required - not included in sale)."
