This is an emulator of TR909 and TR808 (so vintage) rack.

Bards of the pots is really Drumstation trs simple to use, it can decay the controller any time a particular instrument.

Many output jacks (a + 6 Individual Stereo output) show immediately that the DrumStation Pipelines Limited to take place in a studio rich (with mixer, effects ...).

Attention polyphony (8) does not rev high, I have often reached. There are some effects such as disortion and cut, but it is essential to have at least one derrire reverb ...

Compltement Midif (in / out / through) + dyn sync.

UTILIZATION

Simple use because compltement Midif, many more pots handy for a live edition make it easy to sound. If you're used to the 808 and 909 you will not dpayss. Record his thanks presets is a switch: simple and sr.

The doc is blah.

Warning: no patterning on this machine, unlike the original.

SOUNDS

No doubt the above is a good accumulation of TRS 808 and 909. Unless intgriste be a hard-core, there is no reason to possder possde when the original one. The outputs provide a spares trs flexibility, allows you to really make a qualisation fine for each element (as if it were a battery!).

The snare of the 808 ultra is authentic and the effects that can be put on HiHats gives her characters a particular trs. The kick of the 808 can be trs deep attention at the table!

When we reached the limits of polyphony in Drumstation she starts making cuts in every sense ... 8 voice polyphony, may soon s'atteindre trs, trs but it is generally sufficient.

Most of the sounds are "dry", it is essential to add a minimum processing derrire. The DrumStation does not Reverb, etc.. internally, so be warned ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use the Drumstation for years: never any problem.

Reliable, authentic ... Attention, this is neither more nor less than 808 909. It offers the flexibility of these legendary machines, but not much more. It is impractical to have an impact (at least one good qualisation) derrire out a sound not too dry (especially the kick). This is not an all-in-box. This is not a good first purchase. This is something that adds to your dj set structure.

I do not regret this purchase at all, because that's exactly what I wanted. Now if you in your music lctronique, I would advise plutt (today) a Jomox Airbase, much more flexible ... Unless you find a Drumstation used for a mouth of bread is a good buy trs: has aged well.
