A really cool drum machine. It is similar to the DrumTraks but much more advanced. Its sound is very electronic and consists of 8 of the most basic drum kit sounds. However it has a much more flexible tune control for each drum sound than any other drum machine/module. All sounds can be tuned and can then be layered allowing for chord-like drum tones and all kinds of wacky sounds. You can also play reverse sounds and program pan position. Sounds on EPROM cartridges can add up to 8 more drum tones of different sounds. This machine is also MIDI equipped, able to transmit/receive all of its controller parameter information!

There's actually a ninth basic internal "instrument" of sorts. Instrument 16 controls the trigger-out on the back of the unit, and can be programmed like any other drum instrument (only without pitch or pan information), putting out a 5V 10ms pulse on command.
