Beat Box : A Drum Machine Obsession - Coffee Table Book by Joe Mansfield
"Joe Mansfield's 200-page Beat Box: A Drum Machine Obsession coffee-table book features 75 drum machines from the author's personal collection, with more than 200 photos by Award Winning photographer Gary Land and Foreword by Dave Tompkins.
It all started with one machine. The location was Boston, Mass. The year was 1986. The 'beat box' in question was the TR-808. Almost three decades later, Mansfield's obsession with drum machines has finally spilled out of his home and climate-controlled storage space into the world at large. With Beat Box: A Drum Machine Obsession (Get On Down Publishing), the Boston-based hip-hop producer and music industry veteran - who helped bring the world Edo G's 'I Got To Have It' and 'Be A Father To Your Child' in the early '90s, and went on to found Traffic Entertainment Group and co-found Get On Down - shares his deep love and respect for "Beat Boxes" on every page."
Pictured further below is a Casio PT-7 which has six rhythms. The image is from this post on Wired on the release of Joe Mansfield's new book. Be sure to click through for more pics and the full post.

"Like many JX10 owners without a PG800 programmer I was disappointed to find that Roland had made a complete arse of the midi implementation - there is no way to edit sounds via midi.
So I got hold of the service manual and the datasheet for the 6303 processor used in the assigner board, and set about dis-assembling the firmware, in the hope of finding the 'bug' that stopped SysEx sound edits working."

via the listing: "The synth has had a DB-15 connector and an on/off switch added by a former owner. I do not know what these do and have not noticed any impact to the function of the synth. My guess is that these tapped into the keyboard matrix so that you could play the synth from an accordion or other similarly equipped instrument. But I didn't perform this mod. You just need to know the mods are there..."
