Vintage Synth Explorer

Oberheim • DMX

An old, sophisticated, classic drum machine. Its sounds are sampled recordings of actual instruments. The machine has a number of human like feels to it such as a great swing function, rolls, flams and other weird time signatures and grooves. Best of all it's easy to operate. 8 separate outputs for individual processing, 100 sequences and 50 songs. The DMX was the original drum machine of Hip Hop and Rap, and was used by artists such as Run DMC, Prince, Roni Size, Stevie Nicks, Mike Oldfield, David "Hawk" Wollinski, Phillipe Saisse, David Frank of The System, the Thompson Twins and New Order on tracks like "Blue Monday".

This is THE drum machine if you want to re-create the New Order drum sound circa 'Power Corruption and Lies'.

There are free (individual hit) samples of it all over the www.

I had a DMX along with an OBX-A, DSX, and an Expander. Some of the greatest equipment ever made!

@ Fat Rocky: I don't know if this is what you're looking for, but here's a fantastic site about repair and some modding.

Does anyone knows about mods for this drum machine. like adding front panel tuning pots, circuit bent etc?
the fact that you can burn your own EPROMS and place them inside this great sounding and sequencing machine makes me thing a lot about circuit bent mods
