Sequential Circuits Drumtraks model 400 (1983) "may peace prevail on earth"- drumtraks designer From the famous Dave Smith, a programmable and editable sample based drum machines from the first eighties with analog filters As Mr.Smith was the Midi guru, we have here for the first time a complete Midi I/o for easy control and no more painful external triggering.

VOICES 13 PCM waveforms at 8 bits resolution stored on socket eprom, you have too choose the sound for each 6 channels available.Each channel has its own analog output, very loud: you can easily trigger any other drum machine. You can adjust individual volume and tune pitch with 15 segments, try the famous clap at lowest pitch for the fantastic "gorilla hand" clapping effect ! Channel 1 Bass Drum Channel 2 Snare / Rim Channel 3 Tom 1 / Tom 2 Channel 4 Crash cymbal / ride Cymbal Channel 5 Open / closed HH Channel 6 Claps / tambourine / cabasa /cowbell

SYNC you can still hook some other drum machines to Drumtraks since it will sync at 24, 48 or 96 PPQ and output 24 or 48 PPQ; also you can sync to midi CLOCK slave or master. MIDI The Drumtraks can be triggered by midi with velocity and will transmit pads and programmed sequences TIPS: To change the channel number: While holding ENTER and 0, select channel 1-16 with INC/DEC. SEQUENCER the Drumtracks has two primary modes: pattern and song.The memory capacity of 3289 notes can be allocated to up to 99 different patterns, any of which can be up to 100 measures long in any time signature. Tempo range is 40 - 250 BPM. Each overdub of a pattern can be recorded with a different instrument volume or tuning, in real time, or quantisized to one of eight levels of resolution (from 1/2 to 1/96, in ten values: 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/8, 1/12, 1/ 16, 1/24, 1/32, 1/48, 1/96) or swinged for some groovy parts. Up to 99 songs can be defined, which can consist of up to 100 steps. Steps specify how the song is built by selecting patterns and inserting volume or tempo changes. RAM The Drumtraks memory is retained when power is off thanks to an internal backup battery. You can also save your works to tape or sysex midi dump (wow!)
