Oberheim DX Hip-Hop Demo (The Old School Art of Beat Making)

[Ori0n1975]

Ice-T's keyboard player is tapping on this thing onstage in Breakin' 2 during the "Go Off" song at the Radiotron. Was this what was actually used on the recording of that song is what I wonder.

[UnixextrimHH]

hey the turntable is that working with pc?? i mean is it posible to find a turntable with usb ? for programms like reason ans so on?

[dzlvs8]

wait, I thought these were analog drum machines? Are they??? I am starting to hear from some people that they are drum samples and not analog sounds. I am starting to rethink my recent ebay purchase of a DX!!!!

[HypeRhymz]

@dzlvs8 they are samples, but not the type of samples you're thinking about. they are recorded drums from actual drums and percussion. analog sounds are analog synthesis that can be shaped and mixed into different sounds (i.e. Simmons, Synare, Syndrum, Tr-808 606)

[MadHuman09]

Damn i have to save $ 500 to buy a drumm machine, and yes i will get your advice to get an old because i like the old fashion.

[smiegtbeatzdh]

omg worst hardware ever

[ModdsBeats]

jst going to buy one from junk shop for 55 euros :D

[TheDustyWilk]

daaaaamn listen to how crisp that fucking hi-hat is

[STRICTLY187mUrdA]

that was great!

[anoteoftruth]

i quite love these old machines. can't find any under 600$ now tho.

[RUCK973]

much respect bro. I used to love making beats on the my homie MP. Now I just use the computer, but I got all the drum machine plugins. Its like having every drum machine in one spot.

[StudioF]

that's a cool vintage machine. 5*

[SuperTutorialKing]

Awesome!

[SoyDelSouth]

hey, can you upload this samples as wav and give link?

[Carl684]

you can hear the button's clicking or something:S

[recniabsal]

How much would all this equipment cost?

[qahtani]

You could probably get a DX for $200-400. The DMX is the same basically but with a superior snare drum.

For practical purposes though, you might as well get the DX/DMX samples off the net and use them in Reason or something, unless you love these old machines like me.

[beatbassdstwrl]

[benhoughton88]

couldn't you have just downloaded a sample set and used them on your mpc?

[qahtani]

I have every classic drum machine's sounds on my MPC's CF card. Sometimes that's just no fun though.

[godadameve]

Great Video! The DX Drum Machine RULZZZ!!! I bought mine in '89 then stupidly sold it in 2001 as part of the Oberheim systems (along with the DSX and the OB-8!) but I bought another Dx (with MIDI!) a few years ago and will NEVER sell it again. Word.

[urbanjedi72]

i dint realise the DX was midi compatible , kenton said they could only Mod the DMX and that the DX was unable to have midi.

[godadameve]

Oberheim made TWO models of the DX, the FIRST one had NO MIDI, the second one did.

[AMOKIAN]

I love vintage drum machines, I used to mess with

that at Guitar Center in the 80's...

"To The BEat Yall"

[ccricers]

Wow, that beat sounds like something from Whodini- wouldn't be surprised if he actually used this machine!

[qahtani]

The 808 and DMX / DX were the early / mid 80s Hip-Hop drum machines of choice until the SP12 and MPC 60 arrived. The Drumulator and Linn Drum got a little use too.

[Cr33py]

Thats sick bro !!! much props

[Bub2990]
