Classic drum machine, used but in stunning condition. This is as fine an example of these as you'll find (see pics for a sense of the condition).

Only seen light use at home. Never left my house, never gigged with etc. Bought new and kept in a pet and smoke free studio out of direct sunlight.

I'm sure you know all about it, but this is a heavyweight machine, compact, super playable, easy to use and sounds incredible. Masses of connectivity options to hook up to a modular system or to use as part of a DAWless jamming / hardware set up.

Postage will be £35 (for UK buyers) to allow for Royal Mail Special Delivery with an appropriate level of insurance.

The MFB Tanzbar Analog Drum Machine can be used to create full drum patterns for songs. Using the fill-function, patterns can be chained for longer sequences. In addition, every pattern offers A/B variations that can be switched manually or automatically for further flexibility. Also, Tanzbar allows saving 16 flam and roll-variations.

The step-length is controllable per instrument, allowing easy creation of polyrhythmic structures. Possible resolutions are 32th and 16th steps as well as 16th- and 8th triplet-steps. The shuffle amount can be continuously controlled globally and per instrument. Each instrument offers three accent intensities. Add the bend-function to create glides and LFO-like sweeps for bass drum 1/2, snare drum and toms 2/3.

In addition to the percussion-instruments, Tanzbar offers addressing external instruments using its two CV/Gate outputs; one being able to control dynamics via a third CV-output. The same tracks are routed to the internal bass- and melody-synthesizer voices. An ideal solution to pre-listen and program patterns without any need for external equipment.

The CV/Gate-sequencer offers a range of three octaves and is programmable using two methods. All parameters are output via MIDI, allowing control of external instruments. The drum-computer can be synchronized via MIDI- and clock-signals. An additional MIDI-input is available to control further functions. Finally, Tanzbar not only offers a master volume knob but individual level controls and mute-functions per instrument. The unit provides a stereo output as well as twelve individual outputs.
