ROLAND R5 Human Rhythm Composer...for sale!


In my humble opinion!...this and the R8 were the best all round modern drum machines ever designed...they had great sounds, really simple & easy to use, large pads, great feel to the pads!...I have owned both at one time or another and the r8 & the r5 were both brilliant!...they weren't my fave....fave...ever machine...that goes to somethin else! but all round being totally honest they probably were the best usuable/designed machines ever! wow now thats a sweeping statement!

Here's some sellers sales info:
Roland R-5 Human Rhythm Composer
Comes with original power supply, manuals & box.
Very much respected retro Roland drum machine.
The 16 drum pads all work 100% & are touch sensitive.

All buttons, sliders and switches work well with the exception of a couple of the function buttons needing a firm press. This isn't a problem when used in a midi set up but can be annoying when using stand alone. Should be easily repaired.
The writing on the top is fading in a few places but is still readable.

This drum machine pretty much does it all. It is a professional level drum machine. It's very easy to use, won’t take long to start making beats, but if you care to delve deeper into the parameters there is so much more that can be done.
As a stand alone drum machine it also features a sequencer for making song patterns from the individual patterns you create.
It has midi in, out & thru & can be used as a sound source with beats & other control data been sent via midi from a computer sequencer.
Along with the stereo outs there are an additional 4 separate outs (all ¼” jacks) any drum sound can be assigned to any out, making this unit very versatile in a recording studio.

The R-5 features 5 Pad Banks for a total of 80 sounds accessible (out of 94 max).
It has MIDI (In, Out, Thru), Tape In/Out, Footswitch jack, Phones jack, and six 1/4" outs (one stereo pair and 4 individual).
It contains 68 different instruments sampled at 44.1 kHz with a 16 bit dynamic range.
The pads are touch sensitive. 100 different programmable patterns can be stored and 6songs in addition to the 32 preset patterns.

CASIO RZ1 classic...for sale!


Another 80's classic on ebay! never a huge fan of this machine...but (sadly) always liked the look of it!!...kinda looks great nestled amongst other little masterpieces!...here's the sellers blurb!

item is an casio rz1 classic drum machine a must too all you 8os fans Nice flexible drum box with a built in mixer as no the TR909. Separate outs allow flexibility for that all important mix. The really nice feature is the ability to sample new sounds in and integrate them into patterns. There are four banks available, and you can link up to four banks to get longer samples. Alright, the sampling is only 12 bit, but the bandwidth is excellent, so it will reproduce everything from meaty kicks, to sizzling cymbals, or even vocal/guitar/bass loops. A nice bit of kit at a great price, since Casio have always been Yamaha and Rolands leperous cousins! Also, its big and chunky, looks cool, and has nicely sized buttons for frenzied thwaking! The backlit LCD is nice for those badly lit studio / live sessions. And you can add sounds from any other drum amchine, so it'll never go out of date! The lack of fantastic sampling quality actually helps new sounds to sound beefier than before. GET ONE NOW!!!

Univox SR-95 Keio Minipops Mini-Pops MP-7 drum machine

That's a confusing title so let me explain. There were two brand names for this machine:
Keio Mini Pops MP-7
Univox SR-95
Keio later became Korg and the Univox brand was for the US market I believe. Is there a difference? Yes. The Univox SR-95 lacks one sound, the Rimshot. The cowbel sound is used instead. This affects the Bossanova and Slow Rock rhythms. Also, the Beguine pattern is different between them. Both machines use identical circuit boards however and it is possible to upgrade the Univox SR-95 to a Keio Mini pops MP7with the right know-how and the right parts. The one for auction is a Univox SR-95 with this upgrade.

Why upgrade it? Well, fans of Jean-Michel Jarre might know he used the Minipops MP-7 drum machine on his early albums. On Oxygene 2 and 4 for example he used a combination of Beguine and Slow Rock. Can you spot the problem there?

Please listen to this short demo (low quality MP3) of the actual machine I'm auctioning showing the affected rhythm patterns, and how they now sound identical to a Mini Pops MP-7. You will hear:

Classic Jarre combination: Beguine + Slow Rock (with quidaja and tambourine)
Classic Jarre combination: Rumba + Bossanova (with quidaja, Guiro and tambourine)
Beguine (now same as Keio Mini Pops MP-7)
Slow Rock (with Rimshot instead of Cowbell — same as Keio Mini Pops MP-7)
Bossanova (with Rimshot instead of Cowbell — same as Keio Mini Pops MP-7)

Here's a couple of pictures I took pre and post upgrade of the Rimshot sound. I also renewed the electrolytic capacitors on both boards as they can dry out over time which affects their value, but this wasn't really necessary in this case:

The unit is in good shape with some marks and wear and tear, but good for it's age. At some stage the rear compartment door has been lost. The sound is clean and clear, the sliders work perfectly without crackle. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

ROLAND Rhythm TR330...for sale!


The Rhythm 330 (TR-330) was the fourth analogue drum machine from the Roland stable and was released in 1973 (a year after the first (the TR-77). Whilst it only had the bare minimum of 10 patterns and 8 drum sounds, the Rhythm 330 differed in that it had a built in amplifier and speaker and was the first to sport the new "wooden cube" shape that would continue to the last of the '70s machines with the CR-78 (1978).

The speaker quality actually sounds like that lovely warm sound you might remember of the old radiogram hi-fi units of the seventies. It produces a very warm, punchy sound and can be very useful for recording as an alternative to the direct audio output. Like many of the early Rolands, each model has a unique sound and the 330 is no exception.

Unlike some other TR models, the 330's "balance control" can completely mute the hi-hat if required (or conversely remove the kick at the other extreme). Because of this, we've been able to provide you with two versions of each rhythm to suit your needs and it also enabled us to produce of a MASSIVE 124 x multi-sampled pack of all the individual sounds.

On this machine, they really got the hi-hat just right. The snare is very short and snappy and the kick has a lovely click and boom to it. Both sound very similar to the results you can achieve by tweaking the much later TR-808. The congas are unusual too, listen to that decaaaay! Although a relatively recent addition to the Dubsounds collection, the TR-330 is already being put to good use (we really love the kick sound).

KORG Rhythm 33...for sale!


Ok yes I know its old and hasn't got most of the features of todays drum machine BUT it is still fantastic. Honestly I can say I have had hours of fun with this unit and I am only getting rid due to closing my studio down. The last time I used it (about 6 months ago) ALL worked great.

Instantly select any of 48 different rhythmic patterns including the latest from rock and disco music. Korg's synthesizer circuit technology gives each of the percussion instruments that realistic quality you've been missing. And with unusual 5/4 beat and 16 beat patterns, there's enough variety to meet every musical demand. The trigger out jack on the rear panel lets you add on synthesizers and sequencers for even greater versatility.

VINTAGE Japanese Rhythm box...for sale!


This is being sold as a collectors item because it is in such good condition and sounds so awful. It is an 'old school' pub entertainers accompaniment machine complete with footswitch. As you can see it has a row of buttons for various percussion sounds (conga one is particularly lame) and below this various rhythm selector buttons; the 'surfin' and 'twist' buttons are quite entertaining but the rest are standard fare. There is a volume control and tempo control as shown.

Although not great quality the machine is in immaculate condition, no makers name just a badge on the back saying 'Made in Japan'. 42cm wide, 27cm high and 20cm deep.
