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".

Thanks Cato! I'm going to check that site out now :) I have ordered a new battery anyway so hopefully that will fix it. I'd like to put some new voice nice to have new sounds in there. I'd Electro Toms, and congas in addition to stock sounds yet i'd like to hear the rim and tambourine..
Anybody have or reckon its worth aquiring a prommer for this machine?

analogrenaissance1: I don't know what the source of your problems are, but head over to the DMX files (http://www.electrongate.com/dmxfiles/) where you'll find just about everything there is concerning the DMX (and DX). They also do repairs. Good luck!
And yes, I also love my DMX. I'm hoping to be able to afford some replacement sound-boards some day ("old" style (short) toms, cowbell, electronic snare/toms etc.).

I love my DMX however recently its acquired some problems :( when i change the tempo of a pattern i have programmed it does not change! infact i'll program at 80bpm (or so it says!) and then it'll speed up slightly at 90bpm but slow right down at anything above that to around 60bpm. Any one experienced this??! I have the message internal error 12 and 5 'memory bad' i'm guessing i need to replace the battery...? ANY HELP?? Thanks
