BOSS DR-550 MK II DR RHYTHM DRUM MACHINE

BOSS DR-550 MK II DR RHYTHM DRUM MACHINE

This item is BRAND NEW in box!

The DR-550 MkII is the upgraded version of the original DR-550.  A big difference from the original model is the fact that the base ROM has been almost doubled and now features 91 drum sounds.  The machine works at 16-bit dynamic range with 91 different types of high quality sounds so it fits in with any genre.  Many of its sounds are similar to the Roland R-8.

Any desired changes in sounds can be made by altering the settings for Tone Colour, Decay, Assign Type, Level, Accent Follow and Pan. A single sound can be assigned to multiple key pads, with each carrying different settings so you have a full spectrum represented for the sound.

There are 64 preset patterns on board, and 64 more slots for your own creations.  Also, as in other drum machines in the DR-series, you can chain patterns to forms songs - In the DR-550 MkII, up to 8 songs consisting of up to 160 measures each.

Provided with a MIDI IN port, which allows the unit to be synchronized to a sequencer, or another drum machine.  There's no MIDI OUT though, so in order to save your created patterns, you have to resort to the old-fashioned way of storing to cassette tape, using the tape interface.

Please note we do not offer local pick up
