No problems with this unit. I bought it cheap on Ebay. I've had several Korg edrum products. Good stuff.

I went to the web site. I guess they are interested in only what is happening now. I could find no links for this of my DRM-1.

I could easily replace this with the same or maybe an S3. As log as its cheap. I wish I could find out information on the MCR-02 lithium battery for the RAM card I just got. Manual doesn't say anything.

i had problems with patterns erasing but setup is retained,
could be related to dip switches, also runs short of pattern space
with dense rhythms

its easier to do rhythms than a sequencer;you can always trigger other
sounds;has tape sync,multiple outs; sampling is 1 sec. can be interesting; i wish i could find the cards for it

The internal presets are nothing spectacular. The sequencing is a breeze both live and step. The manual is so oversimplified. Very easy to master this machine. Uses a grid type system for editing. The main drawback is dip switches on the back must be flipped to edit and flipped back before powering down or you lose everything. Back up as much as possible!

12 voice; There are five pad banks and twelve pads each. Midi in-out, trigger out, eight outputs, tap tempo, flam, roll. Also a RAM card slot for sampling, but I believe that data is lost on power-down. Nice back-lit display.

Internal sounds are relatively typical. It has four ROM slots for many optional cards, which are a apparently difficult to find. I lucked out and got seven with mine. They really make it worth it. I got Japanese (booming bass drum on that one), Gated reverb 2 & 3, E-Drums 2 & 3, Variation (syn basses), and Latin3. The syn bass sounds so eighties. Some ultra-cheese on these cards. Quite interesting stuff though. Velocity sensitive, good for live programming. Click track.

??? They probably don't care. I believe you could find the ROM cards if you looked hard enough.

I good sampler makes this a truly obsolete machine. Obscure ROMs are cool though.
