"Amazing sounding, amazing looking! Cheapest way to get true Roland analog 808 like sounds. Think the congas and cowbells of classic 808 tracks.The CR-5000 is a preset drum machine scaled-back model of the CR-8000. You select a row, then the pattern...but it has lots of tricks up its sleeve. You can select two buttons on the same row to make new beats and you can use the Register-Trigger jack trick (read about it online) to add some variance as well. And of course you can mix sounds in and out. Just want a 4/4 bass drum. Select the preset and don't use fills. You can also select patterns without having to stop the previous one. And it has shuffle for more variance!
Has a trigger output so you can send it to arpeggiators of old keyboards or use it as a clock for your modular or other studio gear.
This is the best looking CR-5000 I've ever seen. Check out the pictures. They are the pictures of the acutal item you are receiving. Also the volume pots are completely noise-free so for mixing and improvising on the fly you don't have to deal with scratchy pots. Mix instruments in and out of the patterns live with confidence!
This works fully with all sounds but the first row preset select button and the CY-8 arranger button sometimes need to be pressed a couple of times to select. The third row preset select button works but has to be held down and wiggled a bit to select. These flakey buttons are common with the CR-5000/CR-8000, Juno 6/60 and any other Roland product that uses them..."
