"This is an incredbily rare dual analog drum synth made in Japan.

It compares to the Coron and JHS analog drum synths sometimes seen in the UK, to the early Synare products, and to the original Simmons analog drums.

You'll probably never see another one of these on sale, so now's your only chance to own one.

Each of the two independent drum sounds has sensitivity, octave, tuning, up or down sweep depth and output level controls.

Channel 1 can be switched from Cymbal (white noise) to square or sine wave outputs, and Channel 2 from Snare to square or sine wave output.

The rear panel has quarter inch jack trigger inputs and the casing lid has built-in rubber drum pads containing piezo triggers. Once you've set the drum sounds you can close the lid and play without needing to see the controls if you prefer, and there's a stand mounting slot underneath. Alternatively you can trigger the synths from other pads such as Simmons pads, from drum triggers added to acoustic drums, or from the trigger outputs of drum machines like the Roland TR808, or from analog sequencers.

There are rear panel connections for an optional foot switch and a foot pedal (not included), which presumably mute and pitch bend the synth sounds.

This unit was originally part of the "El Monstruo" analog/digital modular synthesizer system playing huge percussive patterns triggered from the various sequencers within the system. Klaus Schulze did something similar with dual analog drum synths during his 1970's concerts, and the true analog sound from these modules can be absolutely window-breaking. Be careful with it, because there is no limit to how low these analog sounds can go...almost subsonic bass booms can be created with ease.

This unit is in very good condition and fully working.

You'll receive the dual drum synth and matching lid/pad unit.

You'll need a 12V DC power supply with a standard fitting (9V is probably OK too, though the label underneath specifies 15V), and quarter inch jack trigger cables are not included (short ones from Maplin would be good to run from the lid/pad unit, longer ones if you want to interface to other instruments).

The lower parts of the hinges and front clasp are not present. You can replace these for a few pennies from any hardware store..."

"It is the best sounding 303 I've ever owned. Hands down, 100%. Colin Fraiser (from the famous Sequentix P3 & Cirklon machines) installed his MIDIBass 303 MKI upgrade into this 303, as well added a bass boost to enhance the sound. Let me tell you... This 303 pumps. The ENV MOD and DECAY have great range, allowing for some amazing combinations that greatly affect the sound of a given pattern. They create some amazing character from short tail decay with extra "umph" from the ENV to longer held notes with variable texture, depending on your ENV setting. Let's not forget the CUTOFF and RES... both excellent all around. You want bass? Slam the RES all the way to left, and adjust the CUTOFF to your liking and asses will shake. It really is the best sounding 303 I've heard personally... I'm going to miss this machine.

The midi upgrade works fine, but I ended up not using it as much as I thought. To sync, just use one of the included MIDI adapters to connect to port... and run with it. Since I have other older Roland machines, most of the time I still used the original DIN SYNC 24 port - which works just fine as well. So, you have a choice to use orignal SYNC or MIDI.... which is nice.

More info on his upgrade can be found on these links:

LEDS
The white leds are super cool... and aren't too bright at all. (some blue leds burn my eyes) These are nice to look at. Really makes this 303 unique in appearance. I've had many nice compliments on it. :)

Overall physical condition... A few marks, here and there... But no chips in the body. and no battery leakage inside. Very clean overall.

Comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home."
