cheers friend.. I hope you monitor this site often 'cause you might be able t o help me out. I just got one of theese from my brother.. No manual and I have no history with D-machines at all so i am a newbie. But we are gonna to a very humble elektronika gig in a newly opened store on saturaday.. Can you post a quick fool guide just how to start the drumulatar and acces sounds so I can hit a snare hi-hat and a bass drum? kinda like "start the kit.. press drum and use abcd to trogger sounds" ?
I've contacted djdab. I'm just not that technical, and in fact, haven't even opened the drumulator yet. Thanks, though. Can I sync it to my MIDI interface if it has a SMPTE out? Then I could just make the beats on the machine and run it with my computer. I read the manual, but it seems to be more about linking it up w/tape decks as opposed to sequencers (1982, duh!) Thanks.
If I remember, the mod itself is pretty straightforward, doesn't take too long.
You really just need the last OS eprom and to build the standard MIDI optoisolated circuit interface. the drumulator had a built-in serial port before MIDI was created; when MIDI came out, they retrofitted that port with the 5-pin DIN connector and the MIDI IN interface circuit
there was a guy online (djdab) who was selling the kit, but I'm not sure if he's still active.
really good simple demo video. thanks

remember, lighting is essential for video, especially when pointing at objects on screen.

Where did you get the MIDI retrofit kit and how long did it take? Cheers, and thanks!
