You can find demos in previous posts.

"amazing visual condition. even comes with original box. it powers up, but it’s barely functional. patterns appear to be empty, and every time it doesn’t matters what do you program, it just plays a few repetitive drum hits, and then all fades away."

SoundMaster ST-305, Roland Jupiter 4 & Echolette SE251

video upload by ohm_studi_ohm

"Quick impro to demo the Sound Master Stix Programma ST-305 (!) analog drum machine syncing the Roland Jupiter 4 arpeggiator. The Echolette SE251 provides echo/reverb.
The ST-305 is an 80s programmable analog drum machine. Very basic, no sound editing but you get 7 sounds, an accent track, dedicated volume faders and outputs for every instrument.
And the icing on the cake is it can be synced to external gear and/or sync other gear, which is a nice feature (you can use it slaved to a sequencer and in the same time slaving a synth, so it acts as a 'through').
I did not know this one till recently and it was a pleasant surprise."

Klemt Echolette SE-251 tape delay.

via this listing

Pics of the inside below.

"This is quite a rare tape echo manufactured by Dynacord. It seems to be one of the very last tape echo introduced by the brand (with the Echolette Echo 400).
It shares many parts with the Echocord line of delays like motor, pinch roller, heads, oscillator board etc
But this one used op amps instead of only transistors for amp stages (the Echocord Super 76 also already used one op amp for the output stage).

The unit has 2 heads which you can mix with the dedicated pot. Otherwise classic features like input volume, tone, echo send level, echo feedback and echo level.
In the back the original DIN socket enabled output and aux input. In this case you only get the wet signal out of the delay, which is nice in a studio environment.

Unit was fully serviced and modded:
- all electrolityc caps were replaced (except 3 bipolar ones )
- original 4x op amps were upgraded to better one (TL081)
- original DIN socket was replaced by 2 jack sockets, one for the output and one for the aux input. Also a pot was added to attenuate the level for the aux input
- unit was meticulously cleaned
- heads were cleaned, demagnetized and aligned
- unit was calibrated
- tape is new

The unit is in perfect working order and in excellent cosmetic condition."

Repair of the Soundmaster STIX ST-305 analogue drum machine

Published on Feb 6, 2020 Mindburner
Re-Published on Feb 5, 2020 Mindburner

"This little analogue drum machine was realised by the Italian company Soundmaster in the early 80's

This example was purchased on eBay for around £25 in dodgy condition and operation unknown.

Bodges galore and lack of a service schematic make repairing this machine a bit of a nightmare.

I think the bodges are factory fitted as they use the same kind of enameled resistor as the main PCB.

Part 1 of a 2 part series

sorry about my plosive popping on the commentary.

Also the TA5558 in not a timer, rather a dual op amp

music: Crystalline Stricture, Harbour, No Time, Secret Remix"

"vintage analog stompbox preset style drum machine

Manufacture date: +-1980
Manufacture country: Japan
Type: Analog
Rhythms: 8 presets
Drum voices: 5 (bass drum, snare drum, claves, hihat, cymbal)

Early 80's rhythm box made by Japanese Sound Master. Battery powered.
Preset style drum box for collectors - near mint condition (in my opinion it's mint, looks like unused, but there are some very small flaws on the painting, probably from production, not by using).
This little showpiece comes with original box and new 9V alkaline battery.

There are three trimmers in this cute box - to set the claves sound's lenght (up to self-oscillation), sound balance (more or less snare and highs) and for tuning tempo."
