[@CORLEYKG5000]

My very first drum machine, I got it when I was 13....it changed my life

[@hardtoimaginable]

I still use this thing! It's still kinda badass even by today's standards.

[@STARKNAKEDVIDEOS]

Same! Paid $499 for this thing back in the day!

[@donpirla]

you don't know daws don't you?

[@donpirla]

@@STARKNAKEDVIDEOS I'm sorry about that, man. what a scam. I payed a lot less (about 400 euros) for an akai mpc2000, but that was 10 years later, that is 10 years ago.

[@hardtoimaginable]

@@donpirla Of course I do...been using Cubase for years, but analog is analog.

[@atetraxx]

​@@donpirla tf is wrong with you?

[@JohnKitterman]

I just spit coffee on my keyboard when he said 4MB of memory. That's funny as hell!

[@regallmusiccorp.8052]

yeah I know man. I had a chuckle. That was actually impressive in the 90s for a sampler or drum machine and most musicians didnt have a computer with 2 TB on it like now a days of course, haha

[@bentyreman5769]

I used this to make my first album on, it has some nice sounds and I remember being able to customise the pitch and I learnt how to programme drums on this thing, it was hooked up via midi to my boss BR532, sometimes it would go out of sync and you had to record it 3,4 or 5 times before you'd get a perfect take, fun times lol

[@newphilmz3605]

I got one. It's works great even for today

[@daddyjohnson59]

an astounding 4mb! lol... I miss mine. should've kept it.

[@chrisdigital]

For 200 I sell you mine with a new memory batt installed :)

[@dianevrules]

Forget about the high number of presets kits and patterns. Those are trash! For those who are comparing this 770 to a 660. 770 has the same amount of samples as a 660. But some of them are not the same. Example: 660 didnt have 909 hihats. 770 does. Also, 770 doesnt have chorus effect like 660. However, it still has reverb and flanger. It has also added eq (low & high). 770 has at least 200mA additional power consumption than 660. 770 has 14 note polophony compared to 12 in 660 770 has 250 more programmable pattern slots 770 has 32 more programmable drum kit slots 770 will probably cost more than 660 770 is blue. 660 is black

[@doggerproductions]

I learned drum machine programming in the mid 90's on my dr-660.....nice piece of kit it was at the time

[@wwjjdj]

Wow! I've owned mine since about 2001, and while I've spent many hours getting pretty deep with it (modifying the 255 samples with onboard pitch shift and effects, making my own 32 pad kits with those "new" sounds, using its sequencer for sample playback on my sp-303, and assigning fills so I can switch back and forth quickly between certain patterns) I never really utilized the two features shown here. I need to pull it out of my rig and start setting up my DPP, and see if I can set or assign my own quick search "genres".

[@stephenchesterjr1364]

back in the day, this and a korg em1 was 🔥🔥

[@TB6491]

Bought mine new way back when, just installed new memory battery CR2032 - fired right up with plugged in power supply. Just need to put it to use for a bunch of demos. Been sitting in drawer for years.

[@Iamveryconfusedabout]

double the wave memory !

[@jeffstarrunner1]

Found one at a yard sale for 20 bucks. It's probably outdated now but if your new to drum machines you can have fun with it.

[@letterli]

still got it...:-)

[@CaracalKeithrafferty]

Lmao what is that dude doing at 2:35???

[@rwalden87]

The first paid fingerdrummer

[@evenseb7574]

At 2:39 the guy with glasses snaps a fly, or tries to vomit?

[@CaalamusTube]

WTF!? :P He was like mouthing words! ...but frenetically!

[@senhorlampada]

​@@CaalamusTube LOL WTF Can't stop laughing at that moment And the other guy is just ok and continues to talk

[@CaalamusTube]

@@senhorlampada Thanks for reminding me of this! :P

[@vulpixninetales]

loooooool

[@leviticus5363]

The boss dr5 was and still is the best drum machine, check out living every victory on you tube by Leviticus the whole album is produced with boss dr5

[@dianevrules]

Leviticus It is my favorite Dr Rhythm. Since it is a whole band in a little box. But I wouldnt call it a drum machine. That is just an element of it. That mf has synths, horns, strings, bass, etc. I just heard your album. Pretty good.

[@tomesmusic]

GOLD!

[@donaldpriola1807]

The goatee is next level.

[@demofactory]

I know where Waldo is!!!!!!!

[@NathanSander777]

What is the interviewer doing at 2:37? Filmed separately?

[@Ston247]

Hardy Har Har ! I still have mine. But , the crashes on my old Alesis HR 16 destroys the 770 crashes !

[@hollowmenrule]

Looking at an 880 then stumbled on this. Still better than the sr18 cause of its key sensitivity

[@EvangelistinderyasMasih8095]

Hello

[@dustincassidy]

Wait hold on, did you say 4 fucking megabytes?!!!

[@innerpull]

[@MrChopemup]

I had an epileptic fit watching this.

[@humanipulationnation]

[@PhuongNguyenVan-eb2oi]

Mua ở đâu?.

[@wackerburg]

[@danap8044]

[@phanman72]

[@jamesoswald982]

Does display light up

[@Wil-70-NL]

No it doesn't. The biggest mistake they ever made.

[@kcat80]

"oh yea?"

[@TheTonson1]

hahah amazing

[@Bishka100]

This promo is sooooooooooooooooooooooo tacky, it's enough to put me off !

[@GB3770]

all preset patterns on anything always sound terrible. 100 variations on bossa nova - no i dont like it - go away :)

[@donpirla]

boring sounds. I haven't heard any decent kick and snare in this silly promo. am pretty sure there are little to none synthesis parameters as it's usually the case; also, I guess there are no individual outputs to be routed to a mixer channel in order to have a bare minimum of versatility. so.... sub amateur product. in facts, it's a toy with realistic sounds and some preset rhythms but that's it.

[@LittleRichard1988]

It's basically the same drum sounds used in many of their sound modules. To be honest I find all Roland drum machines that came after the R-8 extremely underwhelming. At best the DR-770 is a ripoff of the Alesis SR-16 which is also better.

[@donpirla]

sounds like a pretty useless toy, pretty useless even as a toy.
