Bad Gear - Korg KPR-77 Drum Machine

[@AlexBallMusic]

Amazing snare on that thing. I actually know the guy tasked with doing the original demo of the KPR-77 (Don Muro). You can find his demo on KZbin. I'll have to send him your (uh-hum) tribute. 😜

[@AudioPilz]

Hey Alex! I have to check it out!

[@AlexBallMusic]

@@AudioPilz Having worked with ARP, Don worked with Korg in the 80s and 90s. What's funny is that Korg more recently then worked with ARP! (Or the ex-ARP people). Don was gifted with a giant MS-20 blackboard edition when they parted ways which would make for a hell of a video, especially if paired with a Volca. 😜

Yes but I don’t think he programmed the machine to do those continues drum variations. Because that sequencer isn’t easy for doing that kind of stuff so I think he just sampled the sounds and used a software sampler.

[@MattGreerMusic]

That snare sounds very suspiciously like the Volca Beats. Actually many of the sounds do. I have to believe that some of this old timer's DNA ended up in the Volca product many years later.

[@AudioPilz]

I thought the exact same thing but I compared them and found too little similarities to put it on the show. The DNA is certainly there!

[@CommissionerManu]

Is it just me or does it sound like a modded beats snare? With the missing capacitor put in? I could just be losing it though

[@PWMaarten]

It could be interesting to compare the schematics. I have the KPR-77 and did quite a few volca mods for people but never came to this conclusion. Either way, I love the thwack of the SD!

[@downhill2k013]

I imagine it’s a very small, simple circuit that’s easy to put into small machines. So they tend to sound similar

A friend lent me one back in '86 before I bought my 606. I still love the snare on the 77 and so when I bought my 606 I was disappointed to find it was not as beefy as the 77 snare. However, I was never that enamoured with the hats and cymbal on the 77 preferring the 606 instead. Great video, demo and choice of bad gear Florian, thanks.

[@chriswareham]

Nnnnoooo!!! I love the KPR-77 - analogue, but with a different tone to the Roland TR series. It has a much more sophisticated sequencer than the 606 and 808, albeit without the immediacy. The sync thing is not a problem when connecting to Roland kit, just set the time signature to 2/4 and you still have the same number of steps per pattern. The hate seems to stem from the terrible manual, a classic of badly translated Japanese that I tried to alleviate by posting a quick programming guide online back in the 1990s (and which can still be found on the KPR's Vintage Synth webpage).

[@AudioPilz]

The manual is such a PITA!

I modded mine very gently. You can get a much better kick sound by using a smaller capacitor in the kicks impulse section. I replaced C14 8.2nf cap with a 2nf cap. Now its got some attack and beef. Also almost all the sounds can be improved by twisting the trimpots on the PCB. Most are marked on the PCB for what they do but still a good idea to find the schematic online.

My first "real" drum machine! Bought it when it came out in the early 80's and it was at least a step up from the Synsonic drum pads I was using up to that time. Ditched it not too long after because it didn't have MIDI and back then if it didn't have midi, it wasn't worth keeping. :-(

[@markb9488]

wow, you did it again!!!! another bit of oldskool kit I used to own...that is actually quite easy to use, but sounds pretty naff without lots of external processing...what I did like about it was the sync, connected to my Kawai R100 it run at 48ppq while the Kawai runs at 24ppq(like Roland) this made for so funky half speed drup patterns which produces some excellent results if you're into experimenting which I was not back in 92', (If only I knew then, what I've learned since!!) when I picked one up for £85 ffrom Carlsbro UK, sold it for decent money(£200 poss £220) in 1997...I think the current used price is a little high, seeing that the Kawai R100 is a monster of a drum machine with a huge feature set and brilliant sounds, it's hugely moddable and sells for about the same on the used market... P.S I still own a Kawai R100, other than my SL1210s(bought 1996), it's my longest running bit of kit(bought in 97) still going strong... Sorry, I talk too much...

I love it! I bought several KPR-77s around 2000 because I kept finding them for dirt cheap because apparently many people didn't know how to operate them. "Like new, $50, don't know if it works". I sold the rest to pay bills but kept one and enjoy breaking it out from time to time. I did a few minor voice mods to mine. Nowadays people who like the retro dirty analog sound would probably enjoy a Volca Beats instead. The main problem most people have with the unit is comparing it to the TR-606 instead of learning its own idiosyncrasies.

[@AudioPilz]

Yup, prices keep creeping up tho

[@IanTindale]

In the late 90s when I was doing my all-analogue (mostly) (well, all non-computer) music, I owned two KPR-77 units synced via a KMS-30, (which I still have) to the master clock (a CSQ-600) (which I still want to get rid of, in London, if someone will take the SH-09 with it). The only thing I used the KPR-77 for was the pair of trigger outs on each, which are s-trig, used to clock an SQ-10 and trig an MS-10 and MS-20. I never used it for the sounds (matchbox snare) because I had a TR-808 and TR-606, but also because programming in the trigs on the pair of KPR-77s was about enough work for one decade thanks.

[@AudioPilz]

[@lundsweden]

Its funny, in the 90s the TR-606 was considered to be bad gear, like a poor man's TR-808 and you could buy them for nothing. Korg never had (or should that be has) much success making drum machines, other than WAY back with the Minipops of the 60s-mid 70s. Could a minipops be a future candidate for Bad Gear? Anyway I like the sound of the KPR-77, but not sure why they called it that, sounds clumsy (oh, hang on Korg Programmable Rhythm). I think it is easier, cheaper and better just to use samples in 2021 though. There is something about the sound, particularly the snare, that sounds kind of organic compared to the 606, 808 or 909 :-)

I found one at a flea market about 15 years ago. It was dirt cheap (12€) so I instantly bought it. For me it was an ideal drum machine back then, because my synth of choice was the PolySix which can be triggered with the KPR-77 in the arpeggio. Mine is far from a mint condition: some caps of the sliders are missing, the start button got lost in time and replaced by someone with limited craftmanship and worst of all, the buttons are wobbely as all hell which makes it frustrating to use sometimes.
