i connected this to my car stereo and made beats while i drove, is that illegal?

I'm wondering why the down votes? My statement is entirely factual. The Boss DR-550 has absolutely no sampling capacity. It can only produce preset sounds. Look it up.

@LzrdKng9000 drum machine most deffinetly...if you want real sounding drums either get a sampler with sequencing capabillities and sample percussion from all kinds of sources. Get a progam for drums, or get a machine that uses sampled sounds for acoustic instruments.

Hi,

Does this send midi notes as well as clock?

I'm looking for a drum machine I can hitch up to my rack synths, so I can play their sounds by hand rather than sequencing or create drum loops then fire it off into a rack synth.

Don't know much about these drum machines, I suspect the dr550 may be pre-midi?

Cheers

@LzrdKng9000 I'm not overly familiar with the DR-500, but I think it has a way to switch off the quantization. If it does, turn it off. That way, it'll play back what you record exactly as you recorded it, timing errors and flubbed notes intact.
