video upload by Stereoping

"Quick demo of a One Up Ultimate Percussion Synth. Piuuu Piuuu ... Kind of Coron DS-8 without the LFO/FM section. But with a BITE parameter introducing kind of short high frequency noisepulse. Pitchbend only positive."

Ultimate Percussion K2-X

via this auction

"8 channel drum synth from the 80s. All 8 channels have their own audio outputs/trigger inputs which can also be triggered from audio sources. Stereo and headphones outputs as well as a basic left/right mixer. Each channel has a button with a ‘preset’ sound which bypasses all parameters when pressed. Also has a very basic sequencer with a few preset patterns as well as a gate trigger switch for each channel. German made if I’m not mistaken. All channels and knobs in working order. Does not have MIDI. It has a European power supply, will require a step up/down a converter if you’re in the US. Not a whole lot of info about this one, it’s got a big punchy sound I was always quite fond of, but I’m downsizing for studio space."

Ultimate Percussion K2-X (ULTRA RARE! Analog Drum Synthesizer)

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.

via this auction

"If you aren’t familiar, the K2-X is a drum synth—and sounds similar to the Simmons SDSV, just...greener and flatter 🤣 It can be triggered via drum pads or other drum machines (or something like the Arturia Beatstep Pro) via the trigger inputs.


The machine itself does have some wear. Some of the knob caps are missing (which may be replaceable I’ve just never looked into it) and two of the bottom trigger buttons are missing...though they’re still functional. All 8 voices are functional, though, and sound incredible!"

This is the one featured in this video.

"Ultimate Percussion K2-X Analog Synthesizer System
8 Channel drum/synth with built in sequencer.

Nice analogue drum module. Very different to Simmons and Tama units. Has 8 individual channels/sounds. Can be triggered by a CV sequencer or other drum triggers (not included). Each channel/sound has its own input trigger and individual output. It also has a stereo output. There is a stereo EQ for the output also. The onboard preset sequencer is very basic, not programmable, just has a few preset sequences that can play. The Ultimate Percussion K2-X is a very unit, I have two of them, the one I am selling is the same as the one in the pictures. I will upload more photos on request. There's a link to a youtube video I made a while back testing it with a 707 as the trigger. Not a great deal of info around about this one, a few of them pop up on matrix synth from time to time.

Pros, good bass, really nice white noise and pure analogue snares and hat type sounds. Toms are what you would expect from an analogue drum module. Used by PLAID (apparently)
Cons, it's very green. It's big.

Good condition. It's a vintage unit so comes with a few bumps and scratches here and there but overall is in great condition. Looks good. All the knobs have their caps.

more info: 8 trigger inputs
Individual outputs + stereo main outputs and headphone output
One special Bass drum channel
One special Snare channel
Six completely tuneable oscillator synth channels
All channels have these controls - Level, Pan, Trigger Sensitivity, Decay, Bite, Noise Filter, Noise + VCO mix, VCO pitch and VCO Sweep
All channels have Pulse button - Pulse generates an in tempo trigger."

"8 synth channels (think simmons) with in/out for triggers and individual channel mixing, a mixing section for stereo outs, bass, treble and mid adjustment and a built in very basic sequencer pre-programmed rhythm which you can adjust to the tempo to.

One special Snare channel
Six completely tuneable oscillator synth channels
All channels have these controls - Level, Pan, Trigger Sensitivity, Decay, Bite, Noise Filter, Noise + VCO mix, VCO pitch and VCO Sweep
All channels have Pulse button - Pulse generates an in temp trigger, good to get you tweaking right away
All channels have Preset Mode button - allows two different sound settings"

"Ultimate Percussion K2-X Analog Synthesizer System
8 Channel drum/synth with built in sequencer

This is a rare monster of a drum synth - Good luck ever seeing one of these guys again.
This UP K2-X sounds big, warm, punnchy and tough, works great and its built like a tank! All metal.
Used by Warp Records artists Plaid - in this link you can see it in their studio.
Have a listen to them to get a vibe of the sound of this.
8 trigger inputs
Individual outputs + stereo main outputs and headphone output
One special Bass drum channel
One special Snare channel
Six completely tuneable oscillator synth channels
All channels have these controls - Level, Pan, Trigger Sensitivity, Decay, Bite, Noise Filter, Noise + VCO mix, VCO pitch and VCO Sweep
All channels have Pulse button - Pulse generates an in temp trigger, good to get you tweaking right away
All channels have Preset Mode button - allows two different sound settings
Physical condition - As you can see in the photos some knobs are missing their caps and some caps are attached but need a little glue to keep them from spnning. There is one missing led light but everything functions and all knobs are clean. Marks and scratches visible in photos. Nothing major. Youll see some tape on the bottom also, you can just take that off though.

Audio condition - all good."

ULTIMATE PERCUSSION up5 SUPER ANALOGUE drum synthesizer

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction

"Made in Essex England. Ultimate Percussion "UP5" super analogue synthesizer system electronic drum module with 4 pads. Very primitive, but very cool old analog drum sounds similar to early Simmons. Includes levels for snare, tom 1, tom 2, tom 3, & bass drum. Module has volume control on each channel and includes a "P.P.S." section that controls decay, noise, and pitch. The other features work when pushed, but the button does not stay in (always intended to take it to an electronics guy but never found the time). The only other thing that needs addressed on the module is that tom 2, when struck, plays the analog tom sound in....... reverse I guess??? All of the others are fine, tom 2 sounds like a sweep, like the intended sound is being played backwards! Don't ask, I have never been able to figure that one out... Don't get me wrong, it sounds really cool. I just know it's not what it's supposed to sound like..."
