"Sakata DPM-48 Vintage Drum machine

Made in Japan
Released 1984
220v

with MIDI kit updrade installed.

Rare musical instrument developed by Sakata, later distributed by Hammond. This digital drum machine uses same technology as Linndrum with samples on eproms. The MIDI kit (developed by FPB Synth Germany) is freshly installed for the sale.

Unfortunately, I lost the RAM card a while ago, so the pattern memories and internal sequencer are not usable… This said the MIDI kit upgrade allows you to control the drum machine from any device including modern sequencers!

So, you have access to the 22 samples via MIDI + you can trig manually at the same time.

Sounds are internally spread over a stereo field (stereo output), you also have independent mono outputs and a phones out . Of course you have the volume fader for each voice (8 sliders) and a general volume knob. So, a nice flexibility for studio environment.

Great sounding drum machine, punchy and pretty unique samples — the cymbals are really interesting. You know, 8-bit unsigned PCM sounds but realistic for the time… it delivers a great vintage flavour. As eprom based, you can totally custom your instrument. The sounds here are stock. One of the eprom has been cloned by FPB too."

Rare Sakata DPM-48 drum machine 8 bit digital - MikeSynth

video upload by Mikus Pilatus

"The very interesting Sakata DPM-48 (also branded as Hammond)

A bit frustrating to program and you can’t change patterns on the fly - which is a buzz kill.

Shame , as the sound of it is like a Drumulator , but better."

Sakata DPM-48 (aka Multivox) DEMOS

video uploads by synthmaven

"Sakata DPM-48 drum machine aka Mulitvox or Jugg Box

I was getting swarmed by mosquitoes during my short demo/photoshoot so it's a bit hectic and the camera mic does not do the sound justice. TOMS 3 and 4 do not distort as it seems in the clip. They are deep and raucous, outdoing even the BASS 1/2/3. OTOH TOMS 1 and 2 are very faint. I don't know if a slider cleaning can fix this or if it needs a tech but I am selling as is and what you see and hear is what you get. The sequencer also works and you can vary the tempo via sync or the tempo knob which has a loose cover. Maybe some tinfoil of paper would get it to stay put. I switched out the video to reflect this. The original one remains on Youtube as well.

The RAM cart works because you can't program the machine without it. I pulled it out and the machine won't go into RUM mode, I put it back in and it played again.

What makes the DPM-48 interesting for contemporary production use is that there is a company in Germany that offers a MIDI cart and expanded ROM sounds kit for this machine which you can find on Youtube. The MIDI cart uses the RAM cart slot, so no alterations to the machine are needed. This allows integration into a multi-machine recording environment and the additional sounds also pass though the circuitry of the DPM-48. You sync the standard DPM-48 via the included DIN sync port in the back, if you prefer to program the machine old skool using the cart."

Sakata Hammond DPM-48 Pitch mod demo

video upload by umusic6

"This mod hacks each voices sample clock by using a NE555 based clock on a small pcb yhat replaces the provide clocks for the 4040 counters of each voice.
The results make this machine so much more versatile.
Still have to do this for all other voices and add knobs to the surface."

It offers 8 drumsound channels with 22 sounds in total, each of the channels individually adjustable in volume and with a non-dynamic trigger button. You can record step-by-step or in realtime with help of a built-in metronome. like new with cartridge ."

I think this is the second video, online, of this obscure piece of 80s-Japanese-metal. The echo thingie is a Melos Echo Chamber that I found yesterday on a junkyard."
