Drumtraks the box is a rather special in that it has a look "vintage clean" with sounds from samples.
Like its cousins Linn Drum or Oberheim DMX, the Drumtraks is equipped with EPROM which can be replaced. This system allows hackers to incorporate more custom sounds in the box. Wine Country, a company of former employees Sequential Circuits, provides custom kits Chip and a program to convert wav files compatible that can be burned to a blank EPROM with a suitable equipment.
The Drumtraks does not necessarily distinguish the sounds, the standards of the time, but by the multitude of possibilities and its unique look with its sequential order blanks of wood and large buttons made of metal.
You can adjust the volume and the agreement for each sound and store these settings in the sequences, including when they are varied.
The sequencer is very comprehensive, it can record step by step and real-time by choosing the quantization resolution. As already mentioned, it also stores the changes in instrument parameters.
In addition, the box has 6 separate outputs, a backup interface K7, a synchro output configurable (very useful for different worlds coexist) and a midi interface. It can therefore be used as sync to MIDI converter 24 or other types of sync.
The failure of the drumtraks may be that some important functions are obtained by combinations of keys not always obvious and documented as noon or slave mode omni off. Unfortunately the failure of many machines at the beginning of the digital age.
In conclusion, the Drumtraks is an instrument of choice. His charisma does not leave indifferent in a studio and its capabilities enable the creation of complex rhythms for one who is not afraid to roll up their sleeves.
