Overview
Roland recreates its classic compact rhythm machine here, keeping the original voices and look but adding modern sequencing. Seven drum instruments with variation sounds feed a step sequencer, and trigger jacks can drive modular gear.
The reason to look at it is the mix of vintage character and modern tools, from probability-based sequencing to delay, tape-echo, bit crusher and saturator effects. The limitation is that the listing offers little detail on power supply or audio outputs.
Who it's for
Electronic musicians and modular owners who want a hands-on drum voice with trigger outputs will use the full feature set. Players who need sampling, or who want everything confirmed in the box, should look at a different unit.
Pros and cons
- Classic drum voices
- Probability and sub-step sequencing
- Delay, reverb and flanger effects
- Drive effects including bit crusher
- Power adapter not mentioned
- Case listed but not described
- Audio output details absent
Performance notes
Each of the instruments has its own level knob and, for several, a variation sound. The sequencer steps through patterns with loop, flam and probability functions, and the compressor, delay and drive effects shape the mix. Trigger jacks send clock-style pulses to external gear.
