Korg • DDM-110
In 1985 Korg released two very simple and affordable digital drum machines, the DDM-110 (pictured above) and the DDM-220 (Super Percussion). The sounds are slim pickin's and quite cheesy! It uses 8-bit sampled drum sounds which include kick, snare, hi/low toms, rimshot, handclap, cymbal, open and closed hi-hats. The sounds are anything but inspiring. There are 10 buttons, an Accent control for each sound, and tempo controls. It stores 32 patterns and 6 songs. There is no MIDI, only DIN sync for external control. Definitely designed for practicing musicians, the DDM-110/220 has little use in modern day recordings unless you are looking for old, cheesy and lo-fi quality sounds.

I just inhearated a DDM-220 and it didn't come with a manual. Unless I find a manual (not available from Korg) I'll be winging it. Anyone out there have the manual?
Definately keep it and play it DLate unless you want to sell it to me. i am now the proud owner of a yamaha dd10 any way!
I bought one of these when they first came out (1986ish) and then returned it to the shop to replace it with a Roland TR606 - for the life of me I can't remember why now but it might have something to do with the double rate Korg sync and I had a Roland SH09 (still got it!) and a Roland MC202. I've just bought one second hand (don't ya' love ebay!) to relive my youth and the lovely lo-fi punchy sounds I remember from this unit.
The kick and the snare are very crisp and clear which is a must for any pcm drum machine. Editing on the fly is simple, pattern memory with a battery. And Dlate should sell me his
