Post a picture of your first drum machine/sampler/keyboard.

The Boss Dr 550 MK II

i got this because i thought it could sample and when i found out it couldnt i just kept making drum patterns lol - had some decent sounds on a couple of the banks but i eventually got rid of it and got a mpc 1000

i also have a broken mc 303 laying around somewhere

I was 12 I think b-day present

This was mine. Way back in 1981. I hated programming it and it had some very basic cheesy sounds. But it was my first.

lot of BOSS drum machines in here, as i'd expected... here's mine:



BOSS DR-660... it was originally my older brother's and he got it way back in 1992 or '93... it was the first MIDI instrument we'd ever had in the household and i clearly remember my brother showing me how he could sync it with Cakewalk [the first version that came out]... i eventually inherited it and despite it being pretty old and dated, i still think most of the BOSS drum machines are well worth the money since they offer great features for editing the built-in sounds... so you can make some bass go WAY DEEP.

had to dig for this pic in a very old email account, but i found it.. E-MU MP7



Acid 4 was my first "sampler"..

This isn't a bad machine either. It has velocity sensitive pads and some decent sounds. I was at my mom's recently and found it, and it's still pretty fun to play with.

This was my isshh when i started in 1997. Still regret selling it.

The SR-16 was my first drum machine - and together with my mate's Ensoniq EPS back in 1993/94, we thought we'd give Nine Inch Nails and Ministry a run for their money.
Haven't touched a thing since then til 2 weeks ago when I got my MPC 1000-so far it seems very similar work flow, just different gear.
It's nice to be back

My very first and I still rock with it:








I also use to mess with Acidpro 1.0 when I got the MPC, it was cool but I learned so much more with the MPC 2000..
