Drumfire Five Channel Synthesizer Mixer Remote Contacts

Title link takes you to shots via this auction.

"It's 5 channels each one with a trigger in and direct out gives you some pretty nice 80's electronic drum sounds kraftwerk, new order kind of sounds come to mind as well as techno, trance, dance style sounds from the roland tr909. each of the 5 channels has a nob control for sensitivity, oscillator decay, noise decay, sweep, pitch with a cilck button on/off, balance (osc - noise), volume, and pan l-r. Unit also has a main left and right out each with a volume nob. The trigger cords are in new shape. I have never used them they still have the velcro tape on them. (i used roland trigger pads with the drumfire). All 5 triggers work. I just tested them by plugging them in and tapping on them . They are more sensitive than my roland pads. Comes with original box and some stickers, the five 1/4 inch trigger cords, and the unit itself."

"This is the Music 4000 , it is a 4 octave keyboard add-on that allows the user to play the sounds, and to record sequences directly into the Hybrid Music System. The Hybrid Music system is a range of musical add-ons for the BBC Micro. The first to appear was an 8 voice digital synthesizer called Music 500. This uses a music composition language called AMPLE to control its sound generation and playback of musical parts.
