SIEL MDP40 Very Rare 80s...for sale!

VerY Rare SIEL MDP 40 fully working in great condition runs off 6 aa batteries or 12v PSU included but a euro plug. Has a number of cool presets and all drum sounds can be triggered via midi.

This drum machine was release under a few different names Keytek and Suzuki here is a little write up i found.

Absolutely nothing is known about this very rare and obscure digital drum machine. In fact, all I can do in this situation is quote from Dutch donor, Bert Koorengevel:

"I am a proud owner of this little monster of mediocracy, a Keytek MDP40 drum computer. I bought it used around 1990, without a box or manual.

A Google search on "Keytek MDP40" returns no hits at all - I hope Hollow Sun can save it from oblivion!

As I understand it, Keytek was the company in between when Siel folded and Roland took over the remains.

MDP stands for 'MIDI Digital Percussion' and 40 is the number of pattern presets. It was built in Italy around the mid 80s and features 12 different sounds which take up around 128Kb when sampled in 16bits. The sounds are bass drum, snare, rimshot, tom, closed & open hihat, cymbal, handclap, shaker & cowbell. It's not velocity sensitive but does have low-velocity versions (intended as brush or for variation?) of the bass, snare & closed hihat.

One could play drums manually on the device itself or by MIDI In. The latter is how I do it since the switches for base & snare drum have worn down. The lousy bouncing contacts result in 3 or 5 shots instead of one!

Some will describe it sounding "cheezy" but others just can't get enough of that. Fact is that with General MIDI songs I find it sounds better when drums are played by this device instead of any soundblaster wavetable. I still use the sounds of this this device in my own songs, routed through a diversity of effects of course (compressor, EQ, pitch, reverb, delay, etc.)."

I am extremely grateful for this rare donation - it's not a Linn (that's for sure!) but it does have a certain lo-fi charm and appeal that could find a place in many genres of modern music.

This is a little gem made all the more attractive because of its obscurity and it's unlikely that any other sample library features this rare little beatbox!

ROLAND R8....for sale!

One of the best drum machines ever produced, eclipsed only by its later sibling, the R8 mk11. 68 percussion sounds, sampled at 44.1kHz with a 16-bit dynamic range, giving superb sound quality.

The 16 large, touch sensitive key pads allow you to alter volume and tone naturally by striking the pad with varying force. Pan, Decay and Pitch can be altered to allow you to create expressive rhythm performances.

The Copy Instrument function allows you to create up to 26 edited instruments, in addition to the existing ones. The R-8 mk 11 can store 'feel patch' data. It also allows you to set the Timing Velocity / Decay / Pitch / Nuance for each note of a rhythm pattern, allowing you to create realistic performances. It can store up to 100 user-programmed rhythm patterns and up to 10 Songs.

8 individual outputs, as well as stereo and phones give very flexible mixing options. Midi In, Out and Thru. Tape Synch. Start/Stop footswitch jack. Expression Pedal jack. Slots for RAM and ROM cards.

There's just too much to list for this machine. If you're looking, you'll know all about it.

The original manual and power supply are included, as is a Power Drums USA SN-R8-09 ROM card. I don't have the original box, but it will be very well packed for shipping.

It is in what I would call 'well loved' condition. It has obviously been used, has no real deep scratches, dents or serious damage to it, but does have a series of smudgey graze marks on it. A couple go very slightly below the surface finish of the machine, but most are not scratches as such, more like the kind of mark that a pencil rubber might make. I have tried to show them as best I can on the photos. They make no difference at all to the working of the machine. It operates perfectly.

Postage rate includes full insurance. Please ask for postage rates to specific non-UK addresses.

ROLAND TR727....classic for sale!

Vintage Roland TR-727 Rhythm Composer s/n 563665 + Boss ACA PSU

Japan made 'Latin Percussion' machine with rock solid onboard based sequencer feauturing midi I/O, DIN sync and trigger out socket for controlling selected other roland/boss gear

This vintage machine features 10 individual outputs (one for each timbre!!) in addition to L/R and headphone outputs making it an extremely versatile piece of kit, you have the ability to process each drum sound independently with FX very easily so is an extremely useful addition to any studio!!

Each drum has its own level control for precise adjustment too!

Sound wise its all about Latin percussion and certainly not a traditional sounding drum machine; onboard sounds include whistles, star chimes, quijada, cabasa and maracas, congas and bongos amongst other things. This is a very popular machine particularly for techno and house productions due to both the onboard sounds and the groovy shuffle settings on the sequencer ;)

Item is unboxed and with a PDF manual on CD, cosmetically the unit is in grade B/C condition, there are a few marks to the finish but generally its good considering the age! Included with the sale is either a UK Boss ACA power adaptor (pictured) or I also have a Euro spec ACA-220; both are in poor cosmetic condition but are functional- let me know if you have any preferences or I will send the appropriate one for the country its headed to :)
