I've never met anyone else who had this drum machine, and I've never
found samples of it in any of the online sample archive, which is
surprising, since it was a pretty cool-sounding machine. It was part
of Yamaha's "Producer Series (they had a little keyboard, mixer, and a
headphone amp to go a long with it). It's got 16 preset drum patterns
(rock, jazzrock, samba, bossa nova, etc. -- all the usuals), and you
can mix patterns by pressing two pattern buttons simultaneously. It
also let you have fills every 4, 8, or 16 bars.

It had 5 pads you could play (kick, snare, hi tom, low tom, and
cymbal), plus you could plug in a pedal to play the kick drum. There
was a tuning knob that tuned the snare, toms, and cymbal (all
simultaneously, and all by the same amount)

The sounds are pretty unique. They're not as overtly synthetic as the
Boss or Roland stuff that was out at around the same time, but they're
still not remotely "real" sounding.

The sounds:

brush

closed hi hat

cymbal

hi tom

kick 1

kick 2 (this isn't an actual sound from within the sampler -- I just
overloaded my sampler's inputs

low tom

mid tom

open hi hat

shaker

snare


The sounds were sampled directly into an Akai S2000 and edited on a
Mac.


Feel free to distribute this archive, but be sure to include this
readme file.

If you use any of these sounds in a song that gets released, I'd love
to hear how you used them
