I had one of these back in the early 90s, hooked up to a Sequential Sixtrak and an Oberheim Prommer. I don’t get very nostalgic about it now though, it was hard work using it. A couple of tricks i used that you might like to try is to immediately follow a Tom or cymbal hit with a second hit set to zero volume which then mutes the first hit, gives a sort of gated reverb effect. The other thing is to reposition the 4-eproms of the cymbal sounds in a different order so instead of playing a single cymbal sound that fades smoothly to zero volume, you get a chopped cymbal sound where the volume fades are out of sequence.
I too had a similar hook up with the drumtracks & oberhiem prommer which I used as a sampler & a korg poly 61m. Apart from cables everywhere it was fun 😊
Almost bought one of these 6 days ago... I want it! I have Sequential Circuits MAX I want to pair it with! Good video. You Went into nice detail. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing Rebecca, I have seen tons of videos of Midge Ure showing their synths and using the LM-1 and other drums but not the Drumtraks in those videos, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they use it.
@@RebeccaTurner-ny1xx I love the Lament album and I am listening the song now and indeed I can hear the Drumtraks and its identifiable kick. Such a great song, too.
It's a great drummachine. Got that 80s sound. Still have mine. I notice you have a different (and great sounding) kick sound, not the default eprom. I always have a fight with the swingmode😊
Yeah, it is a nice machine and definitely sounds very 80s. I was not aware that the kick sound was different from the original. Good to know because I heard complaints about the kick with this machine and thought people were being too harsh, now I understand.
Hey! The voice is actually compressed and no echo was added, maybe a bit of the room? but it sounds good to me. The Drumtraks does have a bit of Reverb I added to the mix :)

Great tricks! I will play with it and let you know how it went.

Thank you! If you get it you will have fun with it, no doubt, more if you pair it with the MAX.
love ♥
Thanks for watching.
What’s my favourite drum machine out of Drumtraks or Linndrum? Suppose I’ll have to wait until Behringer does the Drumtraks!
That might be soon, they are fast at recreating classic gear. Cheers!
Great video. I used have my drumtracks with the digidrums rock kit eprom set inside. Miss it 😢
Thank you! The rock kit eprom is amazing! Sorry you had to let it go.
My first digital drummer. Later sold it ( bought a Studio 440) and even later bought one again because. Still got both. :)
Sweet that you have now both of them. It is a great machine. I love it!
Awesome drum machine. More punch than a linn drum. Its the one to get for Electro and and Hip hop.
And way cheaper too. It has such a nice sound.
Phil Collins used the Roland TR-808, 909, LinnDrum and Oberheim DMX, in 1985 "No Jaquet Required", not the SC Drumtracks.
I’m kicking myself that I sold mine. It was mint! Ah to reverb I go.
Oh man! I know the feeling, you will find one at a fair price you'll see. Cheers!
Not sure but I think Warren Cann used this on Ultravox's 'Love's Great Adventure' with characteristic pitch changes on the bass drum.

@@NostalgicExplorer I think it was the drum machine that Warren bought after his Linn, and possibly used on 'White China' too.

Funny that the Drumtraks video is 8:08 long.
😂 didn't notice that. Good observation.

Not a surprise, all sounds from the Drumtraks were "lifted" from the DMX, Linn Drum and LM-1.
Lots of Linn sounds in there.
The rim and hi hats are probably the ones that approach the most. I find the Linn more warm than this one.
Why do you have so much reverb, even on your voice? Or does your room echo like this?
