"mfb-522 is a drumcomputer with a fully analogue sound engine that offers plenty of editing capabilities. it includes a step-sequencer with popular tr-style running-light-programming. memory locations are available for 72 patterns as well as for 8 songs.

available edit controls:
bass drum [decay, tune, tone, level] - the bass drum can be programmed in two different lengths per pattern. it also offers and individual output.

snare drum [noise, tone, level] - rimshot [level] - snare drum and rimshot cannot be played simultaneously. however, they can be used in the same pattern. both instruments share the same individual output.

clap [attack, filter, decay, level] - the parameters allow setting the width and fullness of the clap sound. this sound also has its proprietary individual output.

tom/conga [tune, decay, level] - this sound source can be switched between tom and conga instruments. sounds programming allows setting of three different pitches.

cowbell [tune, decay, level] – clave [level] - tune for cowbell controls a detune-effect, while the pitch is set commonly with cymbal and hihat. cowbell and clave cannot be played simultaneously. however, they can be used in the same pattern.

cymbal [tone, decay, level] - tune sets the pitch for cymbal, cowbell and hihat

open/closed hihat [decay, level] - open and closed hihat cannot be played simultaneously. however, they can be used in the same pattern. this sound source offers and individual output.

the step-sequencer allows programming of 72 basic patterns plus 72 fill-ins. the latter being associated to the basic pattern memory location, resulting in a two-bar-pattern when using the fill-in. patterns can be combined to eight songs that each hold a user-definable sequence of up to 64 patterns. in addition to the instruments, a global accent-track is available. when set, the corresponding step will be played with a higher or lower volume-setting in comparison to the standard level. the mfb-522’s sequencer offers three different steps of shuffling. a stereo output will carry all instruments minus those where individual outputs are in use (bass drum, snare drum/rimshot, claps and hihat). using the midi-in, drum-sounds can be played with a keyboard or external sequencer. here, the sound sources act velocity sensitive. finally, mfb-522 can be synchronized to incoming midi-clock.

features:
9 analogue instruments
step-sequencer with 16 steps
25 controls for attack, decay, tone etc.
bass drum programmable in two lengths
tom/conga programmable in three pitches
memory locations for 72 patterns and 8 songs

the mfb-522’s dimensions are: 175 x 125 x 38/72 mm. the unit ships with a 12 volts power-supply."

Site Maintenance Tonight!

Just a heads up, but my ISP tells me they will be performing server maintenance tonight at 10PM PST for 1 to 4 hours and the site is expected to go down during the process.  I'm not happy, but they did give me advance notice.  You might remember this post.  That was me trying to move DNS servers to prevent the outage but I realized the impact would likely be greater than just holding my breath through tonight so I backed out.  We'll see how it goes.  You all should be out or sleeping by then anyway!

On a side note, I'm curious if http://matrixsynth.blogspot.com will work. Currently I have it set to go to m.matrixsynth.com.
