Tempo, tone, and volume knobs sit alongside a sound selector for kick, snare, hi-hat, and cymbal, a variation switch with fill-in, and a twelve- and sixteen-step pattern dial. Flip it to write mode and you can program your own patterns instead of leaning on the presets. Output and foot-switch jacks sit on the front edge for hands-free starts and stops.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where it started for Chris Allison. He bought this SR-88 in 1981, and it was the first drum machine he experimented with, years before he was producing records for the Wedding Present, the Beta Band, and Coldplay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt comes with its original box—well-worn, with plenty of scuffing and edge wear that comes from decades of use—and the original pattern booklet, \u003cem\u003eSample Rhythms \u0026amp; Writing Examples\u003c\/em\u003e, which lays out the pre-set rhythms and how to notate your own. The unit shows light handling wear. It runs on four AA batteries or a 6V DC adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom the studio collection of Chris Allison.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chris Allison","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55616990773577,"sku":null,"price":200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/9992\/files\/IMG_8049.jpg?v=1792060770","url":"https:\/\/waxpoetics.com\/products\/sound-master-sr-88-memory-rhythm-drum-machine-boxed-with-manual","provider":"Wax Poetics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
