2256.0. "Yamaha DD10 drum machine" by SHAPES::BROWNM (A sound formed in a vacuum...) Tue Feb 06 1990 07:57

    Does anybody know anything about the Yamaha DD10 drum machine?
    
    It's only a cheap one, but then it's all I want to pay out for at
    present.

    I thought I'd have a look at it because it has two memory banks that
    are entirely programmable.  It also has 98 pre-programmed patterns, of
    which about 5 would be of use.  Most of the rhythms are like Samba,
    Waltz or whatever, so these are a waste of time.  It also has fill ins
    intro/ending etc.
    
    But the reason I didn't bother is because the 26 PCM sounds are crap. 
    They might have sounded better on a higher volume, but I'd get so
    embarrassed - I was in a shop.
    
    It looked good - MIDI, 8 buttons + 2 mouse type button on cables (I
    suppose for your feet).  But I think it is made to catch beginners,
    with is shoulder strap etc.
    
    It is amazing that my keyboard, which cost twice as much, has 32 more
    realistic sounds, but only 1 programmable track, the same 100 rhythms,
    but also a synth, 5 bank chord seqencer, 100 voices plus lots more that
    I can't be bothered to explain.  See the For Sale note.
    
    
    I don'y know what I'm gunna do now!  Boo Hoo!!!
