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".

I have used the Oberheim DMX drum machine since the early 1980s, I sampled it before I got rid of it and I am still using the drumsounds in my new compositions because they do sound totally different than acoustic drum kits, intelligent man-made synthesizer oscillators vs acoustic drum noise.

Also supposedly used for the classic drum beat on Mary Jane Girls "All Night Long", as well as Midnight Starr's "Midas Touch"
