Bad Gear - Sell Your DIGITAKT

"Boss DR-5 - Sell Your DIGITAKT

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. After redirecting the money for a nice 2018 weekend trip, spending a couple of years in my own private Elektron bootcamp and embracing the “limitations breed creativity” Zen I have become quite an avid Digitakt user.

However, today we are going to talk about the Boss DR-5. This 1994 drum machine looks suspiciously similar to the Swedish mono samplers so after rumors of Digitakts discontinuation started swirling a while back I might as well take a look at this cheapskate alternative.

Vintage Rare Drum Machine - Kay Memory Rhythm Machine (DRM-1) SN 04916

via this auction

"It’s basically one of the takes on Boss DR-55, authentically made in Japan. as far as I’m aware - these were sold as diy kits back in 80s, but functionally are identical to Boss DR-55, sound is also the same/almost the same.

please, NOTE, it’s been modified to be powered from … eurorack offset voltage.

power now is on minijack socket. you just take an offset from eurorack system, and plug it in to power the drum machine, directly, using eurorack patch cable. it will take any voltage from approx. 5v up to 12v.

it also has analogue clock output, and cymbal trigger output, so will sync with everything perfectly.

currently it won’t accept any other power sources, but it’s a very mod friendly machine! as mentioned above, they were sold as diy kits at some point, so they beg you for modifications. I believe it even can be modified to fit into eurorack housing, and it shouldn’t be hard."

One of my favorite tracks from the 80s

Situation by Yazoo
featuring the Sequential Circuts Pro-One and the Boss DR-55

This cover song series contains my own reinterpretations of my favourite and for me most influential songs from the last 50 years.
My intention is not to create covers that sound exactly like the original (if you want to hear identical sounds, please listen the original). It's more of an inspiration with my sounds from the old synthesizers from the past and of course the great appreciation for the original performers and producers.
Check out the original songs with the original artists here on YouTube.
Thank you.

Amdek Rhythm Machine

via this auction

"1980s Amdek Rhythm Machine RMK-100 vintage drum machine in exceptional condition and in perfect working order. This early programmable drum machines was produced by Roland under the Amdek (later rebranded to Roland DG) banner from 1981-83, a subsidiary created exclusively to produce early computer monitors and small DIY music kits. The RMK-100 is particularly rare among analog drum machines due to its limited release and the fact that it was only produced in a kit form. It’s a step-write-style drum machine, designed to compete with the likes of the Boss DR-55.

The RMK-100 features Bass, Snare, and Open and Closed hat sounds, all distinctly warm and analog-sounding. Considering its era of production, The RMK-100 is an exceedingly versatile little machine; the Bass drum has internal trimmers for Level and Decay, and the Snare has a trimmer for Noise Level, allowing for excellent tonal sculpting capabilities. It’s a completely programmable machine, with 8 banks of 16-step pattern creation capability.

Controls are relatively simple: the four drum sounds are selected at the four-way “Sounds” switch, and the user inputs the sounds into the 16-step sequence through the two buttons (which also function as Start and Stop/Reset buttons when Play mode is engaged). A unique function of the RMK-100 is the “Filler” switch, which divides each 16-step sequence into 2, 4, or 8-step chunks and then cycles through the resultant sequences at an adjustable rate. The 8 banks are selected at the rotary bank on the right side of the unit, and there are individual knobs for Volume (also functioning as the Power switch), Accent, and Hihat Level."
