Korg Rhythm KR-55B (expanded KR-55) analog drum machine

via this auction

"This is the darker, more experimental and edgy version of the KR-55 that is all over the early Vince Clark stuff. While the pop / rock / disco material that the KR-55 excels at is still adequately represented here, you also get a lot of progressive / alternative / jazz beats with odd time signatures. The 55B also has twice as many presets as the 55. The 55 and 55B have very low noise floors, and the quality of sound is breathtaking.

This particular unit has a damaged plastic housing, which is clearly visible in the photos. However, only the plastic housing is damaged. Every button, dial and switch functions and feels great. No scratchy pots, no buttons that have to pressed a little harder than others...

As you can see in the photo below, there are easily-accessible trim pots to tweak out the sound to your heart's content. Highly Liquid and Analogue Solutions have solutions for retrofitting MIDI.

Service Manual/Schematics, Owner's Manual, and some notes on DIYing a DINsync solution will be included on CD-R."
