Technically Rolands first drum machine was the tr-77 (I own a couple) :)

@squidfanny we can go hardcore and go back to the Bentley Rhythm Ace or TR-55 back in the day, but the TR808 was the first programmable one to contend with the Linndrum.

how about the arturia spark?



[iloveanalogue]

@auspoef Yes! I have actually played the Spark in a demo situation and am very impressed with the sounds, user interface, and the gorgeous Arturia design.
