• Two drum machines, KIT A and KIT B, run together, each with its own pattern, kit and level.
• Eight machines are on hand: a real-time 808 plus sampled LinnDrum, DrumTraks, DMX, LM-1, Simmons, Rhythm King and Drumulator.
• Dillo is a monophonic bass synth with nine presets, from rubbery acid to hollow dub, including Square Acid.
• The library holds 67 songs with 233 playable drum sections, 21 eras and 138 classic rhythms from four vintage boxes.
• 205 ACID phrases across 27 Dillo banks bring accents and slides to the basslines.
• A three-head tape echo and a spring reverb sit on everything, and REC + FX held down throws a dub.
• New kits and patterns wait for the bar line, with the screen showing NEXT until they land.
• Your work saves into scenes on the FM-1, and holding SAVE for two seconds replaces a scene holding other data.
