Hydrogen is an open-source drum machine created by Alessandro Cominu, an Italian programmer who goes by the pseudonym Comix. [1] Its main goal is to provide professional yet simple and intuitive pattern-based drum programming. Hydrogen was originally developed for Linux, and later ported to Mac OS X and Windows.
E-mu SP-12. The E-mu SP-12 is a sampling drum machine. [1] Designed in 1984, SP-12 was announced by E-mu Systems in 1985. [2] Expanding on the features of E-mu’s affordable and commercially successful Drumulator, a programmable digital drum machine, SP-12 introduced user sampling, enabling musicians to sample their own drums and other sounds.
E-mu Drumulator is a sample-based drum machine by E-mu Systems. Introduced in 1983 at a price of $995 USD, the Drumulator was the first programmable drum machine with built-in samples for under $1,000, [1] resulting in sales of over 10,000 units over two years. [2] The Drumulator was the predecessor of the E-mu SP-12.
Just as engineering a digital sampler to operate using one shared memory had allowed Emulator to be made more attainable than systems including the Fairlight CMI, E-mu Systems co-founders Scott Wedge and Dave Rossum realized that an affordable digital drum machine could be invented using a shared memory, resulting in Drumulator, the first ...
The Yamaha RX-5 is a programmable digital sample-based drum machine built by Yamaha, in 1986. [3]With the extensibility of sample-sounds via Waveform Data Cartridge, [4] and the multiple voice-parameters [5] (including chromatic pitch and envelope [6] [4]) controlled for each note, [7] Yamaha RX5 offered the ability to create relatively simple sample-based music tracks all in one device, as on ...
The original Linn 9000 operating system had numerous bugs and it was common for the machine to lock-up and lose data. The OS was mostly written in an esoteric high-level programming language called Forth with some machine language. In early versions, some of the FORTH code produced unacceptable delays in user interface functions and was ...
A drum machine often has pre-programmed beats and patterns for popular genres and styles, such as pop music, rock music, and dance music. Most modern drum machines made in the 2010s and 2020s also allow users to program their own rhythms and beats. Drum machines may create sounds using analog synthesis or play prerecorded samples.
Yamaha released their first digital drum machines in 1984. These were the RX11 and RX15. These were the RX11 and RX15. The RX15 was a cut down version of the RX11, sharing some of the same sounds and features but missing out in key areas like individual outs.
