"Unique and awesome 80s sounds - Start your own Noise/Dance group with this rare piece of equipment...

"This is a monophonic but 4 parts multitimral drum machine - WEIRDEST SOUNDS EVER from any drum machine! The bass drums are something like medium 909 bass drums tripped up with distortion, snares and hihats, creating strange pieces of noise, also with some truly bizarre space sounds to make some really weird and hard breakbeats! I don't know exactly how these sounds are made, there is one custom IC inside the machine.

My guess is that the sounds are sampled from somewhere with lousy sample rate and re-created with a square wave oscillator. Don't know. Anyway, the sounds are very weird, original and great, and I'm now looking to get some more children's drum machines - the pad controlled ones are easy to convert for trigger pulses. Never underestimate children's gear!"

Update via Julia Truchess in the comments: "I designed this product. The sounds are generated algorithmically by a 4-bit microcontroller and my firmware; no samples are used."

"This machine is amazing, it has three modes.
1) single shot, press the black button and it makes the sound once.
2) repeating oscillations.
3) programmable mode.

It only has eight knobs, but even for that you can make very unique sounds. It contains an array of oscillators, effects and other weirdness. What's more it runs off three AAA's and fits happily into your pocket, all the better for scaring people whilst your on public transport."
