    MIDI, audio in, out, etc.

    UTILIZATION

    I have the DR3 and this one was lent to me. I had heard a lot about it and it was the perfect chance to try it out!
    If you want to edit anything, you'd better be a MASTER with drum machines and have a lot of patience, because it's not easy to use.
    The manual explains well how it works.

    SOUNDS

    The sounds: Some are nothing to write home about (and take after the sounds of the DR3).
    You can edit sounds to make them seem more real (and it works well);
    You can adjust the drums and bass volume separately, connect your guitar or bass and use a small effects set that is pretty useful.
    Reggae, ska, dub, rock ─ it has all sort of patterns.

    Kick, snare, crash etc ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using it for one month and a half, I have the DR3, which I use to compose, to practice a rhythm.
    The sound palette is pretty diverse, not always very realistic, but it can be adjusted at will, it has some interesting stuff.
    BUT, its secondhand price is very high, IMHO. A friend lent it to me, but I would've been enraged if I had bough it. It might be very useful for some, but, personally, I'm not satisfied with it. I think I got seduced by all the rave about it.
    Try it out before you buy it.

    Perfect if you like to program

    Boss DR-880 Dr. RhythmPublished on 11/29/13 at 08:37
    See the manufacturer's specs and other reviews on AF. This yellow metal box is ultra stable and sturdy and the display can be easily read even if you are short-sighted.

    UTILIZATION

    The overall setup is rather simple if you don't venture too far.
    The manual is clear, but menu browsing is a bit opaque.
    Editing of sounds and effects: If you start from a factory pattern and limit yourself to inserting fill-ins and doing copy-paste, it's pretty easy, specially with the EZ function. If you want to create a pattern (and especially a song!) from all the pieces, it gets tricky (the time you spend programming you stop using the instrument, don't you?).

If you want to create a pattern (and especially a song!) from all the pieces, it gets tricky (the time you spend programming you stop using the instrument, don't you?). It's a pity because the possibilities are very large.

    SOUNDS

    Sounds and effects are adapted to my needs (demo making and/or playback). All rock, funk and blues patterns are nice and you can have fun with the shuffle function. The more classic patterns (waltzes, 6/8, jazz and anything else that isn't binary) are nothing to write home about, you have to reprogram everything.
    The guitar input with amp/effects simulation is cool, it allows you to rehearse or jam with headphones without taking up too much space.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using it for 6 years, for home studio only.
    I had already used Dr Rythm 10 and the drum machine included in the Korg D1600MKII. I occasionally mix the Korg and DR880.
    Which feature do you like best? The default patterns are truly realistic and easy to edit. The "world" percussions are superb (gong, Chinese cymbals, etc...). Its good velocity response make playing live with it quite enjoyable.
    The least? Programming, but only because I am not gifted at it... Too many parameters to master.
    How would you rate its value for money? It's justified, given the possibilities it offers.
    Based on your experience, would you buy this product again? Certainly, but I still prefer a good drummer!

    It happens that I do not find the bearing that sticks to serious piece and so I played myself on the pads.
    If it is a complex bearing can return to editing the pattern and lower the tempo, it can help ;)
    Quantification is fairly standard practice and
    I use the DR quite simple. I made all my drum parts and bearings and then I send all the MIDI on a MPC 1000 to change the use of samples and sounds that I find better quality.

    The sequencer is very simple to operate
    I am a drummer and as I have less time to play a real instrument to compose the 880 DR helps me well

    UTILIZATION

    Frankly use is really simple and even if you are not too familiar with this kind of machine as I was before ;)
    I started to pick on a BOSS BR 900CD and now on DR 880. I want to say that this kind of machine and I made it two and with time everything is really simple and it's coming soon ;)

    Like any manual BOSS is very clear, but a visit to the forum and a little more ;)
    In any case it's having fun with the machine that everything comes soon enough

    The edition of the sounds is quick. The functionality of the machine and toned
    Like in the kit EDIT then we have the possibility to make their own kits with eg twice in the same snare (easier for bearings) or twice the same bass drum mode. You can adjust the speed and level pads (useful for cymbals)

    It also has guitar effects are good. Before finalizing the structure of my piece I play the guitar over to be sure the record

    SOUNDS

    So sounds ;)

    It's simple, 100 kits ranging from rock to jazz to reggae and techno. I would have preferred to have only 50 kits but better still. I am very demanding drummer with drum sounds.

    Small problem though, I would have liked one or two more cymbals ... No two panic crash, splash, china and a ride (with bell) are available. There was even a gong at the John Bonham for those who enjoy ;)
    For me in this machine two dozen kits offered are very good and in the realistic set for my style is funk / rock or pop / rock
    As I said above after my drum parts I send everything to an MPC 1000 midi to use Semples I kif to death.

    A kit consists of 3 x 20 pads. By pressing the SET key example it falls on the studio kit P001 1, so we 20 pads available. By pressing the key PAD is a choice between between DRUM PAD 1, 2 and 3 where there are other sounds like a good variety of percussion.

    The patterns are really good and there is something for everyone. You can create your own patterns and add them to its own patterns.

    The expression is good and again the velocity is adjustable so

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have two and since I do not like the kif bosser everything on computer and then use plugs etc etc ... I turned to the latest drum quality and I am very satisfied.

    I love the simplicity of this machine and the speed with which I create my pieces. I like to take my head to create my bearings and so far I am satisfied with what I've done above.

    For those who are interested I can listen to my songs

    I bought the DR € 880,250 in very good condition and opportunity to report any concern ;)

    Even if I balance my finished pieces on a mpc (and you may be wondering why I do not work directly on the mpc) I keep my DR 880 for:
    1 - ease of editing
    2 - bearings available
    3 - patterns of quality
    4 - percussion sounds that add a nice touch

    For specifications see previous opinions

    UTILIZATION

    You really need to spend time on it (hence the title), because if you stop using it 2or 3 weeks should get back into the manual. As I am guitarist, "I can not" because in the end I prefer to play and turn the low battery loops (very good quality) and jam on it (at that price there are play back more easily and cheaper)

    Comprehensive in connection with pedal (x2) for initiation and including stereo output.

    You can even connect a guitar (or bass), with a few adjustments and a tuner!

    The samples contain samples of just about every style of rock, Latin music, and many other styles like hip-hop, jazz and "fusion", etc..

    UTILIZATION

    Operation is simple, but the programming to create your own beats is not as easy as using a program like Logic or other drum machines, as Jomox - unless it directly records by playing the pads.

    SOUNDS

    As mentioned above the sounds are very realistic, though mixed and compressed.
    For me the point is to use this box in conjunction with other sources rhythm. synchronized noon. Aside from the beats that contain sounds of "charlie", all the sounds I like a lot, compared to the sounds of metal hyper-current machines oriented music "club".

    OVERALL OPINION

    Apart from the aspect of "programming" that has always put off, I love this machine! She really knows how to highlight the particularity of the rhythmic sounds of each style of beat in it.
    I re-would that choice without hesitation.

    UTILIZATION

    The general use is very easy and intuitive. The system bus is fast enough.

    The backlit display is very useful on stage.

    The chord "ez compoz" does not grids interesting for my taste (lots of blues) can be put against by the agreements sound choices and even compose an entire song (song mode). Well of course the machine is not really made for that so usability suffers, but taking the time we get out.

    Shortcuts are easily paramettrables (20 banks of four sounds assignable trigger and push). I does not edit the sounds as those proposed suit me just fine, so I can not say anything about it.

    The manual is very ehxaustif.

    Also new from the DR 770: tap tempo: and it is also very practical

    There, I put 9 because there are little things that bother me: in edit mode, if I rajoutte measures the battery goes! And that's very strange. I am compelled to cheat. Bug youth? Design error?

    SOUNDS

    Sounds are monstrous !!!!! But also, and perhaps most important: the grooves. The truth is not hard to sample a battery ... but to make it groove, that's another matter.

    Hey there, hat. I had 770 before the dr (I sell for that matter), and I can see that the grooves have evolved damn. Not impossible to find a pattern that matches a piece or component. The highlight is the binary (really bad) and the weak point is jazz and tangos / passos. The blues shuffle them are really well (after all Bécanne is thought to scratch and it shows, especially in the tones available from office).

    I have not heard of jazz that I really do kiffer (perhaps Ketron SD-1?) Anyway.

    The bass sounds are very good and they are really drum grooves. Ideal for working turn your funk / soul.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I bought it a few days ago and I have gifts for the New Year's Eve gig. It was great, I enjoyed myself so much and my bass player did not (too) suffer playing with a box, which is very good sign. I almost fully control.

    What I like most: the grooves and ergonomics.
    The least: you can not add fill-in real-time pattern of the factory. (On the 770 can!)
    The price / quality ratio is good in my opinion. Paid € 449. I probably do it again this election but I confess I do not know the products from the competition (there are there only one?).

    I will update.

    January 30, 2005

    Already one month of intensive use on stage and programming. It really is a fabulous Bécanne. Access to the program allows a great ease of use. On reflection, it's a shame there is not a small EQ (3 bands) internally.

    Otherwise the sounds rock and funk / soul are monstrous. The patterns used jazz (passables. .. except for jazz brushes are nice, kind Fever.), But really below the rest.
    One last really great stuff, the choice of kit. The same groove with a rhythmic "studio" or "funk" exchange completely. It's so easy to create a patern and find a kit that sounds.
    I have no regrets, it's a really good buy if you are looking for effective groove.

    NICKEL Hotline! Hats off.

    UTILIZATION

    Especially complex for the transfer of SMF as the document is not clear and trs is not really Ralite.

    SOUNDS

    Of Trs!

    OVERALL OPINION

    Excellent product.

    The only regret is the overall memory device that TRANSFR broadly-speaking, 15 20 complete songs.

    Finally this dpend also use that one in fact.

    The biggest complaint is that the record is not, but not at all clear on the manipulation of SMF.

    Trs a good point for the hotline tlphonique (Belgium!) Because they take your n and remind you to make a note tlphonique avoid too dirty. The service is nickel and the technician matter.
