Vintage Synth Explorer

Sequential Circuits • TOM

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!

Own this allready for a few months. We'll never part. The ordinarry drums who can be transformed to the weirdest sounds (reverse, roll, pitch change) make Tom tha bomb. It has a lot of force behind its sound. A little compressed and fat ! Tom uses cartridges for extra sounds who can easily switch live. I'm wondering if someone could sell me some extra cartridges :-)...
If you want wide range funky boogie sounds, choose for TOM. If you want to blast everyone away choose for TOM. You wont think you made a mistake.

(now this is propaganda, shiit !)

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.
