Sound as Circuit: The Material Signature of Elektron Analog Rytm

https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...

In the world of modern drum synthesis, few machines have achieved the level of circuit-specific identity that the Elektron Analog Rytm embodies. It is not a sampler. It is not just an analog drum synth. It is a dynamic system where non-linear saturation, voltage interaction, and microcontroller precision combine to produce results that feel tactile.

This sample pack was created to capture those behaviors directly at the source.
Every sound has been recorded without digital post-processing, in order to preserve the natural transients, filtering irregularities, and dynamic headroom behavior unique to the machine.

What’s Inside

Factory Kit
576 carefully recorded one-shot samples, preserving full-range dynamics and analog irregularities.

Jungle Kit
12 punchy and layered hits ideal for complex rhythmic programming.

Dope Analog Kit
12 Analog synthesized drum kit for modern bass music.

Industrial Kit
24 Analog synthesized Industrial Techno / Noise drum kit. (New!!2025/9/1)

MD Kit
12 Digital synthesized drum kit from Machinedrum. (New!!2025/9/15)

Max Analog Kit
12 Analog synthesized drum kit. (New!!2025/9/15)"

Elektron Machinedrum IDM Beat


video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Machinedrum Sample Pack
https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
The Elektron Machinedrum, first introduced in the early 2000s, was not simply a drum machine. It was a digital architecture built to generate percussion with surgical precision and metallic sharpness. Its synthesis models produced results that went beyond drum programming, moving into the territory of sound design. Even today, no software plugin has managed to fully replicate its distinctive texture.
This collection captures that uniqueness. Every sample was recorded directly from the Machinedrum itself. No external processing, no layering. What you hear is the circuitry of early Elektron design, distilled into one-shots that highlight the instrument’s raw identity.

Multivox Rhythm Ace FR6M & FR60 drum machine with speaker and mic input

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated. 7/6/23 Multivox Rhythm Ace FR6M into Ibanez DD 700 (BOSSA NOVA)

video upload by Cfpp0



via this Reverb listing

"This is the Multivox FR6M Rhythm Ace, but a rare one that has the FR60 on the side in the same wooden housing, with slits in the left side for the speaker to pump out the beats and whatever is plugged into the mic input.

There are 1/4” outputs on the back. If nothing is plugged into the output then the beats are played through the speaker. If you insert a cable into the output jack the speaker is bypassed. There’s a volume knob that also is your on and off power switch. There’s a balance knob so you can hear just percussion or percussion and hi hats. In the video posted in the photos section of this listing you can hear it start off with the balance fully clockwise and a lot of cymbals, then I fade it counterclockwise and it has an effect almost like a lowpass filter. You can hold down more than one button to select more than one beat. You can get just a four on the floor and many variations with the three white buttons that correspond to the switch knob. And of course there is a tempo knob. The mode switch is a nice feature. Each beat has a variation A or variation B mode, but you can also select auto, which will play each variation in succession.

Our tech recently installed a new three-prong power cable and tried to eliminate the faint hum the unit makes, but it’s still there. It’s not a ground hum or anything you would hear in the signal, but more like the sound when a guitar amp is on. Also, once in a while if you’re doing a lot of beat changes a button may fly off. I just put it back when I’m done. It’s fun."

video upload by RolandChannel

"A TR-808 beat so raw it stopped gangsters in their tracks."

"Check the debut of The Rhythm Creators series, featuring @ThEgyptianLover's first meeting with the drum machine that changed everything. Animated by Vaughn Taormina."



Press release follows:

Los Angeles, CA, August 7, 2025 — Roland Corporation celebrates the 45th anniversary of its iconic TR-808 Rhythm Composer today. Since its debut in 1980, the TR-808, commonly known as “the 808,” has shaped the creation of musical genres from hip-hop to techno, trap, and beyond. Its unmistakable sound has powered decades of iconic tracks, from smash hits like Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” and Beyoncé’s “Drunk in Love” to a sea of underground techno, electro, and hip-hop anthems. TR drum machines have laid the musical pulse for generations, fueling global rhythm culture through the hands of producers, DJs, and creative visionaries who continue to push its legacy in new directions.

To celebrate this 808 Day, Roland will unveil a series of special releases—including a limited-edition sneaker collaboration with New Balance—and global events that pay tribute to the 808’s enduring legacy and cultural impact.

Rhythm Creators
As part of the celebration, Roland is launching The Rhythm Creators, an eight-part animated video series highlighting untold stories from artists shaped by the legacy of its most iconic rhythm machines—the TR-808 and its influential successor, the TR-909. Each episode blends humor, reverence, and nostalgia, and features stylized animation by Detroit artist Vaughn Taormina and narration from the artists themselves.

Episode one premieres today with Egyptian Lover, with new installments featuring Prince Paul, Fatboy Slim, Soul II Soul’s Jazzie B, and other trailblazing artists dropping throughout August and into September.

New Balance Collaboration
Roland and iconic footwear brand New Balance have relaunched the special edition Tiago Lemos NM808 x Roland sneaker. This collaboration exemplifies the 808’s impact on music and culture, showcasing the unique intersection of skateboarding, hip-hop, and fashion.

To further celebrate this collaboration, Roland and New Balance are hosting Atlanta’s creative community for an exclusive industry mixer dedicated to the 808’s legacy in the birthplace of trap music.

The mixer will be hosted at SESSIONS Atlanta, the iconic studio run by legendary producer Tricky Stewart. Highlights will include private Roland product demonstrations, live performances by Sonny Digital and Mix Master David, as well as an appearance by the popular BackTrack podcast host Don Cannon. Guests will also check out the Tiago Lemos NM808 x Roland sneakers in person.

The Tiago Lemos NM808 x Roland sneakers will be available starting on August 8 at 10:00 a.m. EDT for $114.99 on newbalance.com.

Voices For Bob: Drum machine & synth pioneer Roger Linn recalls meeting Bob Moog


video upload by moogfoundation

"Roger Linn is an innovative engineer, designer, and musician best known for creating the LinnDrum, one of the first drum machines to use digital samples of real drums. His groundbreaking instruments helped define the sound of 1980s pop, hip-hop, and R&B, and he later co-developed the Akai MPC series, a cornerstone of modern beat-making. Linn continues to push boundaries with expressive instruments like the LinnStrument.

In this video, Roger shares a story about meeting Bob Moog at NAMM.

Roger Linn Design: https://www.rogerlinndesign.com

Synthesizer pioneer Bob Moog passed away on August 21, 2005. Throughout the month of August, we will share an informal remembrance video series, Voices for Bob, featuring musicians, technologists, innovators, and colleagues as they remember and reflect on Bob's indelible legacy.

SPHERICAL SOUND SOCIETY Introduces OMNICYCLONE - A Generative FM Beat Machine


Launching OMNICYCLONE. A Generative FM Beat Machine video upload by SPHERICAL SOUND SOCIETY

"OMNICYCLONE is a unique take on generative synthesizers. It's primarily focused on percussive phrases, but it can also create melodic content.

At its core lies a Yamaha OPL2 emulator that has been extensively modified to achieve things the original chips couldn't – like a fully stereo image and a complete revamp of sonic possibilities.

We've taken some of the most interesting features from WINTERMUTE, expanded the emulator further, and hybridized them with OPERA ROTAS features to birth a new generative beast that sounds surprisingly retro and modern at the same time.

You can order Omnicyclone here:

"OMNICYCLONE is a unique take on generative synthesizers. It's primarily focused on percussive phrases, but it can also create melodic content.

At its core lies an OPL2 emulator that has been extensively modified to achieve things the original Yamaha chips couldn't – like a fully stereo image. Some Yamaha chips of that era only offered hard-panned stereo (just center, left, or right). OMNICYCLONE provides 256 possible stereo positions, which sounds probably awesome.

We've taken some of the most interesting features from WINTERMUTE, expanded the emulator further, and hybridized them with OPERA ROTAS features to birth a new generative beast that sounds surprisingly retro and modern at the same time.

In this new incarnation, we've added volume bars for each channel, providing a clearer visual understanding of what's happening under the hood.

The synth is controlled by 2 banks of parameters, plus a fully-featured global LFO and global parameters for controlling each of the ADSR stages. It also includes a variety of new generative strategies that are explained in the manual.

OMNICYCLONE runs on the Fluorine hardware, meaning you can flash Fluorine's other firmwares (there are 4 different ones to choose from) in addition to the OMNICYCLONE firmware. This gives you multiple synths in one piece of hardware.

There's also a new firmware that turns the Fluorine hardware into a USB MIDI Controller with 2 banks of potentiometers. This means you essentially have multiple synths plus a MIDI controller in one device

The OMNICYCLONE firmware is closed source. Existing Fluorine users can order the digital files to easily switch between their other Fluorine firmwares and the OMNICYCLONE firmware. The USB MIDI Controller firmware is also free for Fluorine users, but the OMNICYCLONE firmware has a small fee to support its development.

ELI CompuRhythm CR-7030

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

Playlist:

1. ELI CR-7030 Beat Box Analog Drum Machine Demo by Daniel’s Electronics
This is supposedly a clone of the Roland CR-78, however functionally it is closer to the CR-68. It has no programming ability and the sounds, while good, are not as varied as the CR-78. The demo includes some slight reverb effect.
2. ELI CR-7030 Drum machine Beatbox demo by Momtnz
Rare ELI CR-7030 CompuRhythm drum machine. This unit was also badged as a Gemini and Ness unit. The CR-7030 and nearly three hundred other preset pattern drum machines can be found in the recently released book RHYTHM MACHINES, out now on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

(AUG 2018) RHYTHM MACHINES 2 - The 1980s Drum Computers is released! Written by Alex Graham. The most comprehensive book on 1980s Programmable drum machines out there, over 200 fact filled ALL COLOUR pages...Available only on AMAZON.COM and AMAZON.CO.UK.

Rhythm machines – the precursor to what we in the modern age refer to as a drum machine. This book documents the emergence of the preset pattern electronic rhythm instruments that (for a time) were used as a viable alternative to the drummer. Contained within are the Rhythmates, Rhythm Aces, Rhythm Boxes, Rhythmers, Rhythm Kings, Rhythm Masters, Donca Matics, Mini Pops and many more. Nearly three hundred rhythm instruments are documented here, with over two hundred pictures and information provided on their country of origin, instrument sounds, patterns and features. The book is a ‘must have’ for collectors, vintage instrument enthusiasts and recording artists.

For information on purchasing this unique book, follow the link here:

Rhythm Machines: The rise and fall of the presets

(Jan 2018) Also available, the newly released book RHYTHM MACHINES III (3) - From Decline To Retro Designs by author ALEX GRAHAM, now found on Amazon.com (USD$26.95) and Amazon.co.uk (19.95 GBP). The book has 150 full colour pages and covers information (with photographs) on all commercially released drum machines released from 1990-2017, featuring Akai, Korg, MFB, Jomox, Elektron, Roland, Zoom, Yamaha and many others including Cheetah, Arturia and Dave Smith Electronics/Linn etc.

Rhythm Machines III: From Decline To Retro Designs

3. ELI Compu Rhythm drum machine quick demo by Momtnz
"ELI CR-7030 Compu Rhythm demonstration. Preset box clearly modelled on the Roland CR-68/78 but manufactured shortly afterwards in Taiwan. Good to see an adjustable power option 110/240v selecter fitted. Has an interesting 'Rolling' feature that provides a fill-in pattern to break up the monotony of the preset patterns. In truth there are only three or four patterns that are that great and useable (Rock, Disco etc.). And the ''Guiro' field full of crickets sound is annoying to most but is easy to cancel out. For more information on rhythm boxes why not check out either the all-colour Rhythm Machines book by Alex Graham [links above], or the black and white (cheaper) version called Drumfax 1. Both are available on most Amazon sites."


via this Reverb listing

"Very rare vintage analog drum machine from the late 70’s it has a very similar sound to the CR line of drum machines from Roland, very good condition for its age minimal scuff marks and scratches around the case. Everything seems to be functioning as it should, volume knob and balance knob are a bit scratchy I’m sure it can benefit from a good cleaning.

Believed to be the first unit to use the term 'Beatbox' and"Compurhythm'-little info on this unit can be found but either ELI copied Roland or vice versa."

Hillwood HR-2 Super Variation - drum machine SN 770349

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


via this Reverb listing

You can find demos of one in this previous post.

"This Hillwood Super Variation is a unique and rare rhythm machine that blends fully analog drum sounds with clever digital features for a truly distinctive playing experience.

The analog circuitry delivers punchy, vintage percussion, while the rhythm patterns are stored on an IC chip—resulting in surprisingly complex and musical grooves. A built-in LED beat counter adds a nice visual touch during playback.

One of its coolest features: you can trigger multiple rhythms simultaneously for wild, layered beats. You can also selectively mute individual drum sounds for more dynamic control.

Start the rhythm either by touching the metal pad on top or via an external footswitch (not included). This unit runs on 220V."

ellitone instruments' groov-e device #01


video upload by ellitone instruments



via ellitone instruments

the ellitone groov-e firmware v1.0 is a fun and mysterious interactive drum-machine and polyphonic-synthesizer engine that automatically generates musical “grooves”

A “groove” consists of 3 individual sound layers: a drum-machine layer, an ambience-sample layer, and a synthesizer sequence layer. Each of these 3 sound layers can be individually tweaked and swapped to find the right mixture of sounds to make you say “WHOAH, that’s funky!”

The magic behind the groov-e firmware lies within the sequencing and rhythm creation engines. Rhythms and note sequences are NOT simply selected from a list of premade patterns, groov-e generates one-of-a-kind rhythms and note patterns using a series of decision-trees and probabilities. A NEARLY INFINITE number of possible note patterns and rhythm combinations are possible. To make things even more mysterious, these one-of-a-kind note patterns and rhythms are all temporary. Once you make the decision to generate a new drum pattern or synth sequence, the old pattern is gone FOREVER! The temporary nature of the grooves you discover makes them precious. You will NEVER hear the same combination of sounds twice while using this device. Cherish your grooves!

Exploring the Roland TR77 / Roland Rhythm 77

Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
video upload by Vintage Audio Institute Italia

"We thought we'd make a video before shipping out this beautiful drum machine.

It's one of our very favourites: it holds lots under the hood, it's a joy to play around with and the variety of rhythms and poly-rhythms frankly seems kind of endless.

The 2 and 4 beat section, which is a matrix of independent patterns, is a a cool and unique add-on that Roland incorporated in a few of its very early drum machines.

The individual drum-sound volume-controls gives you just enough sound sculpting possibilities to not care that the machines is not programmable.

The drum sounds themselves are wonderful, woody and organic awhile at the same time analog and electronic."



SN 458139 via this Reverb listing

"A favorite : Roland Rhythm 77 or TR 77 or the poor man’s CR78 but in our opinion the TR77 sounds better.

It also has individual volume controls for kick, hi-hats, snare and the guiro, an adjustable Fade out function - plus a separate, independent second rhythm section on a dial - as well as the possibility to play multiple rhythms at the same time.

Please check video of another unit we had available.

The Roland 77 has more features, sounds and rhythms than the similar-looking Acetone-branded drum machine.

This unit is in excellent condition, front panel looks almost new - but it has a small peel damage on the side panel visible in one of the photos.

220 V with Italian 3 prong connector - easily changeable to any connector"
