CRUMAR OMB-2 Analog Synth Bass Pedal & Drum machine

via this auction

Description appears to be pulled from Beat Box!. You'll find other vintage rhythm machines there as well.

"Crumar was an Italian company that was famous for their keybord instruments. The OMB-2 was one of their few ventures into analog drum sounds. OMB stands for one man band. It not only has drum patterns, it also has rhythm and bass. The main unit had all of the controls to select and mix. The pedal board allows you to play bass on the pedals manually, or when it auto mode, select what key your bass pattern is playing in. The volume pedal is a nice feature. This outfit was one of the early one man band units and helped pave the way for hundreds of solo musicians that needed 'electronic side men' ."

YouTube via mvpadrini | September 23, 2010

"O app BS-16i permite carregar arquivos SounfFount e tocá-los com seu teclado virtual na tela ou por meio de um controlador MIDI tradicional, utilizando a interface Midi Mobilizer Line6.

Outro recurso interessante do app é transformar o iPad ou iPhone em um controlador MIDI bastante funcional.

Neste vídeo mostro a possibilidade de integração entre o BS-16i no iPad e qualquer outro equipamento Midi, nestes caso um pequeno teclado Korg MicroX.

Confira mais sobre apps musicais para iOS e outros dispositivos móveis em www.musicapps.com.br

With the BS-16i app you can load your favorite SoundFont files and play them using the virtual keyboard on the screen or a traditional MIDI controller, using the Line6 MIDI Mobilizer.

Another very interesting feature about BS-16i app is that you can use your iPhone/iPad as a very functional MIDI controller.

In this video I'm showing how great is to combine the BS-16i and another MIDI equipment, in this case the small keyboard KORG MicroX.
