- No MIDI
- Mono output
- DBS and CSQ output to synchronize with some material pre-noon.

4 sounds: snare, kick, rimshot, closed hat. They are not editable, except to use the button "tone", which cuts the high frequencies gradually

The sequencer is typical and intuitive: we program the kick, snare and rimshot step by step, and then we can put all HiHat 1 / 2 or 1 / 4 time (or not!).

UTILIZATION

general configuration super simple
sounds are not editable

SOUNDS

The sounds are really Typical analog feedback, with HiHat very resonant, and a rather "cheesy" ...
The drum machine was used by Depeche Mode "Speak and Spell," by Berurier Black, etc.
It was often said that it sounded like a 808, let's not exaggerate anyway ... <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" /> (This might be closer to Minipop?)
Of course, the synthetic sounds are great!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for some months and has other analog BAR.
I love its look, its compactness, the sequencer single, intuitive, simple and fast to use, and bein heard, especially: the SOUNDS!
What I love most, well, the object in itself with its restrictions, killer design, sound, sound, sound <img class="smiley" src="/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
