One of my favorite songs from Depeche Mode from the album Violator (1989)
I used the E-MU Emax SE Sampling Synthesizer (1986) for all sounds incl. the drums.
Like usual is this not a exact cover. My interpretation.
The E-MU Emax was one of the most used sampling synthesizers of the late 80s. Here is the full Emax playlist with a lot sampling sound demos, sampling tutorials and one synth demo tracks.

"Got to make some music from time to time! Here's a 'jam' using the #microfreak @VolcaNiced sent in change for one of my synths. #QY70 is doing the sequencing here in pattern mode while also playing drums, brass and bass, JD-08 is for pad and that "chiming" sound, while the Freak is used for soloing. I''m editing parameters on the QY70 "live" here and change patterns with the left hand while playing some notes with the right hand. Not too complicated but needed some rehearsing anyway.

Modor DR-2 Drum Machine with Mixing Desk in Studio
video upload by Dziam Bass
"In this movie is some fun from hands with Modor DR-2 Drum machine.
I love work with DR-2 because with Studio desk and some processing this sound is AWESOME for me !!!
working with machines is an important element for me as the basis of music based on rhythm ... I especially love to add color in the studio and improvise during sessions .. but sometimes I just program
small drums improvisation but of course this is incredible machine for programming up to 128 step .
First of all: although it's digital, the DR-2 is not about sampling. It's a drum synthesizer, like a classic analog drum machine, but it uses digital sound synthesis algorithms instead of analog circuitry. There are no samples in the DR-2, and there's no sample memory.
Just like the Modor NF-1, the DR-2 is not build to recreate the classics of the past. The DR-2 uses digital sound synthesis to innovate drum sounds and rhythms. Many sounds will be recognizable. It is possible to make classic sounding bass drums, snares and rimshots. It's not difficult to program classic floorfillers with the DR-2. But with 12 synthesis parameters per drum, you'll easily find yourself creating your own individual sound."

E-mu Emulator 1 - Sampler Synthesizer - w/ 90 Disks, Expression, & Flight Case
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction, also on Reverb
"Comes with 90 Disks, Emu expression pedal, and Anvil Flight Case. All functions currently work. You can sample into the EMU onto floppy disk if you so desire. Here are the sounds in order: 1. Harp 0:00 2. Musical Saw 0:11 3. Male Choir 0:32 4. French Horns and Flute 0:53 5. Prophet 1:06 6. Synth Wind 1:23 7. Soft Brass 1:33 8. Mountain Lion 1:45 9. Synth Brass 2:02 10. French Horns and Flute (with Filter) 2:25 11. Tabla 2:46 12. Bowed Cymbals 3:00 13. Sitar 3:17 14. Steel Drums 3:26
The E-mu Emulator was a floppy disk-based keyboard workstation which enabled the musician to sample sounds, recording them to non-volatile media and allowing the samples to be played back as musical notes on the keyboard. The 51⁄4” floppy disk drive enabled the owner to build a library of samples and share them with others, or buy pre-recorded libraries on disk.
The Emulator had a very basic 8-bit sampler – ; it only had a simple filter, and only allowed for a single loop. The initial model did not even include a VCA envelope generator. It came in three forms: A two-voice model (only one of these was ever sold), a four-voice model, and an eight-voice model. When the original Emulator was turned on the keyboard was split. It was designed to be played in split mode, so playing the same sound on the full keyboard required loading up the same sound floppy disk in each drive.
Stevie Wonder, who gave the sampler a glowing review at the 1981 NAMM convention, received the first unit (serial number “0001”). Originally 0001 was promised to Daryl Dragon of Captain & Tennille, because he had been a loyal E-mu modular system owner for a long time before that. However, Wonder was more famous. In 1982, the Emulator was updated to include a VCA envelope generator and a simple sequencer, and the price was lowered. Approximately 500 units were sold before the unit was discontinued in early 1984. Other prominent users of the original E-mu Emulator were New Order, Tangerine Dream, and Genesis, and it was among the many groundbreaking instruments used in the production of Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” album. Composer and Writer David Frank of The System used the original Emulator on his productions from “Sweat” to “Don’t Disturb this Groove.” The Residents, who had gotten the fifth Emulator to ever be produced, used the instrument extensively on their album The Tunes of Two Cities.'"
