Jamming with a Boss DR-55, Korg MS-10, Moog Voyager, Kawai K3, and Rhodes Mark I

Voices of Echo

"Started jamming with my Boss DR-55 and recorded what happened after with my Korg MS-10, Moog Voyager, Kawai K3, and Rhodes Mark I. I thought I'd chunk it out a bit to show you how I record. I walked through each of the initial parts, laying out the track, and then recording a bit of extra jeuge. Towards the end of the video you can hear the finished result."

It was also the first rhythm machine in BOSS' hugely successful Dr. Rhythm Series..."

Boss DR-110 analog drum machine (1983): unboxing, tutorial, review and TR-808 bass drum mod.

Published on Nov 26, 2018 2kB of Fun

"Boss made a couple of budget analog drum machines. After the first, the DR-55, they came with the Dr. Rhythm Graphic in 1983.

In this video the DR-110 gets unboxed, you will see how to operate it, and it wil be modified to make the analog bass drum a longer bass drum, to mimic the sound of the Roland TR-808.

The iMac G4 in the back captures the sound from the DR-110 using classic Phonic Firefly 302 FireWire audio interface.

Filmed with a Nikon D850 in 4K, a 28mm 2.8 AIs and a 85mm PC-E Tilt-Shift lens.

I'm wearing a custom made Korg DS-8 T-shirt."

SOUND MASTER ST-305 Analog Drum Machine 1982 | HQ DEMO

YouTube Uploaded by AnalogAudio1 on Aug 8, 2011

"The Sound Master "STIX PROGRAMMA" ST-305 is an analogue programmable drum machine. It is like something between Roland TR-606 and Boss DR-55 combined with the design of the SH-101. Very Roland-like. Rhythm programming is like on the DR-55, but the sound is rather similar to the TR-606. It has sync in and out, and volume faders for the 7 drum sounds. Every drum sound has its own single output - that is a great feature! There is also a mix output. Accent is also programmable. 8 different patterns can be stored in RAM memory.

A great little drum machine - quite rare.

A Yamaha Pro R3 was used for reverb effects. In the second half of the video I used some of the single outputs."

Korg Poly 61 & Boss DR 55 Arpeggiator Jam

Programming the Kay DRM-1 Memory Rhythm Machine

Published on Nov 14, 2014 zibbybone

"Here's a rare box I forgot I picked up a few years ago. It is very similar to the Roland / Boss DR-55 in design both style and sound. The DRM-1 features fully programmable bass drum, snare drum, closed hi hat and cymbal. Instead of a cymbal, the DR-55 has a programmable rim shot and the closed hat can either be turned off or play 8th or 16th notes. Sorry, I goofed up the bass drum rhythm (what I want to trigger on 1st step actually triggers on the 16th step), I was a bit rushed filming this video and didn't want to redo. Sometimes you get happy accidents programming this way."

"Ok, got the Duo Capture working properly, so with that I put together a random demo track with the MS-20 Mini and DR-55. I know I am off tempo and the drum machine is quiet, but hopefully you guys will enjoy it."
