Vintage drumcomputer

Ik heb iets vergelijkbaars. Een hele zooi presets, de bekende bossanova's en samba's en waltzen, en dan wat schakelaars om bv. de bassdrum uit te zetten.
Deze zijn uitstekend te modificeren om zo de drumgeluiden te kunnen triggeren.
 
Ken uw geschiedenis, mannen!

Ace Tone is opgericht door Kakehashi. Juist ja, de man die later Roland oprichtte. Ik heb trouwens ook zo'n bak. Die gaat laaaaaaag...

Hij klinkt nog warmer dan een CR-78. Erg leuk ding.
 
het is toch meer een rhythmbox ipv drumcomputer...

Lifetime-Achievement-Award Mr. Ikutaro Kakehashi

It's not much of an exaggeration to say that Mr. Kakehachi's life story is every bit as colorful as Roland's current product range.

Decisive moments in his childhood, like the loss of both parents as a one-year old baby, or being self-sufficient at 15, have formed a man who walks his very personal path with relentless energy. At the age of 16 he was working as a geographical survey assistant in the daytime and learning the service and repair trade at a watch shop at night – which soon led to his first small company, the Kakehashi Watch Shop.

Later he went to High School, but shortly before graduation contracted Tuberculosis – the same disease that took his parents' lives. Three years later he left the hospital – perfect timing, as it turned out, since the Radio and TV business was blossoming in Japan and the Japanese Broadcasting Corporation NHK had begun broadcasting. At the same time Kakehashi Musen, the Kakehashi Radio Shop, opened in Osaka. There the seeds were sown that musicians from around the globe would later harvest.

It was there that Mr. Kakehashi, who had married in the meantime, discovered his passion for music and musical instruments. In 1957 he began building and selling electronic organs. The enormous demand for these instruments led to the foundation of Ace Electronic Industries in 1960. Ace Electronic Industries saw a huge business increase, and in 1963 added guitar amplifiers to their product range. In 1964, Ace Electronic participated at the NAMM Show in the USA, presenting products like the renowned Rhythm Ace R-1 and the organ Canary S-2. Mr. Kakehashi always had a globally oriented business sense, and in 1968 founded Hammond Japan, a joint venture of Ace Electronic Industries and the legendary Hammond International Company. In 1972, Mr. Kakehashi left Ace Electronic Industries to found the Roland Corporation. The rest is, as they say, history.

There is hardly another music instrument manufacturer that has had as much impact on the development of modern popular music as Roland. Consider this case in point: Mr. Kakehashi initiated the discussion between Japanese and American manufacturers regarding the possibility of a standard digital interface – resulting in the introduction of the MIDI standard. In 1982, the "MIDI 1.0 specifications" were established and released. As we all know, this was not just another industry standard, but rather changed the face of the entire music industry forever. The Roland Corporation, as well as other companies, manufactured instruments with a standard that opened the door to entirely new ways of creating music. It wasn't long before there was hardly a studio or stage production that did not utilize MIDI in one way or another.

Mr. Kakehashi's motto, "Music is my life's work," which he manifested in his book released in 2001, gave him the energy, the drive and sense of duty to achieve all this. Due to his outstanding achievements in the advancement of music, he was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Music Degree from Berklee College of Music in 1991 and has also been included in Hollywood’s famous "RockWalk".

Ik heb sinds kort ook een Fr2l

Inderdaad doen de sounds een beetje aan als een Roland 808

Ik draaide van binnen wat aan die potmeters en dan zijn de sounds aan te passen qua volume en klank. Leuk bakkie
