i have an old drum machine.

its a DR Rythm (graphic) pretty neat. very basic though, it includes a

Bass Drum
Snare Drum
O. HH
C. HH
Cymbal
Hand Clap...
that's it...

and it just has normal 1/4" plugs output, no midi. and a trigger output/input.

anyone have one? or possibly able to tell me some neat things you can do with them ?

Awful little thing, but handy for syncing to an SH-101, to run the SEQ.

talk about being baited



there's a page out there somewhere you can't miss with a dozen mod descriptions on them.. separate outs are easy to tap, tho the cymbal is a compound of two taps (one for the attack) snare, clap both very lovely modded.. kick.. well... i actually used it once..

if you want to check it out, there's a track at http://www.mp3.com/elementsusa called 'call your name' which features a little play with the hat params.. the signal is unaffected beyond the verb or whatever's probably going on in the b/g

thanks dudes...extremely helpful
and modding would make it uber-nicer...

yeah, the thing with that is you can't really help someone mod.. it's a pretty base process of finding the right part to remove, solder, or scratch out and just doing it. once you've replaced a resistor with a pot, it makes sense to buffer it out by adding smaller resistors.

pm me if you need any help, but there's not a lot of info you don't have right in front of you..

one of the r#s on that site affects one of the oscillators that goes into the hats.. you'll find a couple more resistors lined up with this one (i think #10 or thereabouts) that affect the other bands in the tone, so it makes sense to mess with them too.. i added a switch that affects their routing. stuff you can do.

..all straightforward including the cab (and fancy plexiglass plate) it took me about 70 hours.

thanx for the tips and such dude. if i pursue it and have troubles. ill come to ya.

yeah
