Dr. Rhythm (DR-880)

Description

The Boss Dr. Rhythm DR-880 Rhythm Machine is a rhythm-programming powerhouse loaded with world-class drum, percussion, and bass sounds from Roland's famous SRX library. It also includes a stunning collection of original waveforms. You can get microscopic in programming the DR-880, but you also have the option of taking the simple route with its 3 EZ Compose buttons that allow original patterns to be constructed without note-by-note programming hassles. Patterns can be taken deeper with the Groove Modify feature, where various groove and triplet feels can be applied. Ghost notes and fills can also be added automatically. Guitar and bass players can join the action by plugging directly to the DR-880's Guitar/Bass Input jack, and playing through the built-in COSM Drive/amp models and multi-effects.

  • I hope that I do not have to buy this again.

    I was looking for a good drum machine with sounds of acoustic drums, in addition to digital sounds. This drum machine is great for that. The only thing about it is that you need to expect to take the time to go slowly through the user manual and learn how to work the machine properly. The manual could be written a bit better to make it easier to understand.

    Paired with a synth work station via midi. Using the easy drum song making feature to enhance my beats. Also the bass section takes a load off of my Synth polyphony limits. I am not good at making beats from scratch, so Dr880 gives me 500 to choose from with multiple fill and intro/ending options for each rhythm pattern. I can string the preset parts together in any way i want. Midi lets me have the rhythm drive my synthesizer workstation drum kits or DR880 drum kits.

    Can you program entire songs?

    You can program them but not store them. They didn't offer this until later models.
