The greatest Roland Digital Drum Machine.

The depth of the sequencer and the punch of the sounds make this an absolutely amazing drum machine. Certainly if you are making electronic music. 10 outputs. Excellent samples (including CR78/TR808/TR909) and more memory than the first version make this much more useable. No need for the mega expensive ROM cards.
Highly recommend if you can find one.

OVERALL OPINION

I sold a little regret for the sake of simplifying the hardware in my studio because I could not draw enough easily what I was looking for, say a box is rapidly to implement sound typs pop-rock as they say at this time (and what does not mean much). Nevertheless have I'm not good with machines, I'm Plutt guitar and vocals.
