The Boss DR-220 Dr. Rhythm is a series of two budget-priced digital drum machines developed and manufactured by Boss Corporation (a subsidiary of Roland Corporation) beginning in 1985. Each DR-220 has 11 PCM synthesizer "voices" available, plus an Accent; each voice is directly available for realtime play using the four-by-three grid of miniature pads (though these do not sense either velocity or pressure). The voices are in 12-bit resolution, each occupying a 128 KB ROM bank. Because of "channel sharing" restrictions due to circuitry limitations, some voices cannot be sounded simultaneously; for instance, only one tom may be used per beat. With the DR-220, up to 16 steps are displayed (or 12 in 3/4 tempo mode). The "hits" can be displayed only one pad at a time. A pattern can be recorded in realtime, or entered step-by-step. Each voice can be adjusted for Accent (values 0-5) and volume (values 0-5). There are 32 in-built patterns, and another 32 are user-programmable and remain in memory after power-off. These patterns can then be joined into a "Song" of up to 128 bars (or 256 if the Song Chain feature is used to join two Songs), with memory space for up to eight Songs. Tempo can be manually adjusted between 40 and 250 bpm.

The Evolver, Dave Smith Instruments' first product, is a monophonic hybrid synth that marks Dave Smith's return to the world of hardware synthesizers. Featuring two analog DCOs and two wavetable oscillators, the Evolver also harnesses the power of the analog Curtis filter and its complex modulation matrix of 24 sources and over 75 destinations. The Evolver also features three synchronizable delays, a 4-track 16-step sequencer, 512 editable patches, poly in/out/transfer/chain, and stereo inputs and outputs.The Evolver Mono Keyboard from Dave Smith Instruments adds a 3-octave keyboard and pitch and modulation wheels to the Evolver Hybrid Mono module. The Evolver Mono Keyboard allows for easier performance thanks to the velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard, as well as more knobs that expose parameters previously only accessible via the Evolver's menus.The Evolver marked Dave's Smith's triumphant return to hardware synths and is still the gold standard for sonic ferocity in a monosynth. It contains a plethora of Dave's best ideas in a monstrously powerful instrument with a unique sound.The Evolver's unique tone comes from the synergy of its two analog oscillators and two digital oscillators (which take the waves from the legendary Prophet VS). Curtis' classic analog low-pass filters and true analog VCAs add warmth and fullness to the analog section, while the digital high-pass filter, tuned feedback, and digital distortion add sizzle and grit. But what really sets the Evolver apart is the way the analog and digital parts of its personality fit together in a true stereo signal path. The word "massive" doesn't begin to describe the Evolver's sound.Imagine being able to move effortlessly from analog smoothness to digital sharpness, or anywhere in between, and you'll begin to understand. The LFOs, step sequencer, and three separate delays can all be synchronized to create complex, scalable, rhythmic, and time-based effects in true stereo.It's a sound designer's dream that can go from ultra-creamy to ultra-aggressive with the turn of a knob. If you need to be convinced, just listen to the demos.

The MFB-522 is a drum machine that uses fully analog sound sources. Most of its nine instruments can be edited in real time using the built-in controls. In addition, the bass drum, clap and tom/conga sounds are available in two or three variations per pattern. The MFB-522 offers 72 rhythms, each with corresponding fill-ins, as well as eight memory locations for songs. The sequencer also offers a separate accent track, three random playback intensities and can be synchronized with an external MIDI clock.

The TR-707 drum machine from ROLAND, released in 1985, is practical in the studio or on stage and economical compared to a TR-808. Separate outputs allow you to mix and add effects per channel. This machine is modern: a liquid crystal display allows you to compose the rhythms easily and visually, unlike other machines. It is equipped with a MIDI interface. A CV sync output in mini-jack format is possible. You need a mini-jack to 6.5 jack cable if you want to trigger a modular or a synth or arpeggiator in 6.5 format, such as a Roland Juno 60. A recognized sound of electro artists: the Cow Bell of the TR-707! Simple and effective. We like or dislike the sound of this electronic drum set, the queen machine of the House and Pop of the 1980s, precursor of the Chicago House. They loved it or still do: for example by Laurent Garnier, Chemical Brothers, DJ Pierre, Arnaud Rebotini, J-Zbel, Mr Fingers, Minimum Violence, or Legowelt.

The Boss drum machine is analog. Boss is a division of the famous Japanese brand Roland. This BAR is 100% vintage (released in 1983) and rare. The DR 110 is sold with a shock-proof plastic and foam cover.

Digital drum machine with a 6-part structure on 2 layers. The term "digital" generally refers to sounds based on a bass drum, snare drum or cymbal sampled by PCM, but the volca drum creates its drum sounds by analog modeling powered by DSP. Oscillator waveforms such as sine wave, sawtooth wave and noise are provided. By applying various changes to these waveforms, you can create a wide variety of percussion sounds that are not limited to percussion alone. The six parts each have two layers and do not impose rules or restrictions such as specifying which parts should be used for the bass drum or cymbal; all parts have the same specifications. You can freely assign your new sounds to these six parts without being limited by the conventions of a drum set. A kit consists of the six parts you have assigned plus the resonator effect settings of the waveform, and 16 kits can be stored in memory (the factory settings contain 10 preloaded kits).

The Siel MDP-40 drum machine was sold in the mid-1980s to compete with the booming drum machine market. It has 10 pads, for 13 PCM sounds, 3 of which are accessible only by external MIDI. The design has also been sold under other brands such as Suzuki RPM-40 and Keytek MDR-40.
