this 'human rythm composer' has 67 basic sounds (very realistic -mostly percussion & drum but also some basssounds), with each editable pitch, decay, nuance, velocity and pan. also évery played note is editable in the step-mode. you can assign the sounds to 5 kits of 16 sounds each. it has 16 touch-sensitive pads and beside the stereo output it has 4 mono outputs to wich you can assign for instance the hihat and put it through your phaserpedal or put delay on the snare... the plus and minus buttons don't function too well but you can still change the value with either the slider or the cipherbuttons. it is delivered with the original fabric-settings and the manual. in 1989 i paid 575 euro's for the favourite of many musicians (front 242!...).
