Boss DR-670 Dr. Rhythm Drum Machine

No longer available at zZounds
The Boss DR-670 Dr. Rhythm is a small-but-powerful drum machine with velocity sensitive pads and 200 preset patterns that cover a wide variety of musical styles.

While the DR-670 features new velocity-sensitive pads and a large LCD with fixed tempo display, most notable is the all-new 12-voice sound engine derived from the flagship DR-770. In total, there are 255 amazing drum and percussion waveforms grouped into 64 Preset and 64 User kits. In addition, the DR-670 features a new Bass part and an intuitive bass guitar-style interface for programming basslines using 16 distinct sounds including Finger Bass, Slap Bass, Acoustic Bass, Pick Bass, and more.

The DR-670's 200 Preset patterns provide a quick and easy way to incorporate realistic drum and percussion into songs and live performance. Carefully programmed to capture the nuances of a real drummer, these outstanding patterns cover a wide range of styles from Rock and Pop to Fusion, Jazz, Latin, Dance, World, and more. And with the DR-670's Direct Pattern Play function, any of these patterns can be instantly selected using the drum pads. Up to 200 User patterns can also be programmed using the onboard sequencer. Preset and User patterns can then be easily chained to create up to 100 Songs.

While the DR-670 is at home with songwriters and studio musicians, it can also be used for live drum and bass accompaniment. And with its Direct Pattern Play and optional footswitch control over start/stop and fill-ins, the DR-670 is hard to beat as an affordable and programmable accompaniment tool. In fact, this compact drum machine is small enough to be taken just about anywhere and can even read more run on battery power.

Connections to the DR-670 include 1/4 in. stereo outputs, a stereo Headphone output (stereo mini-jack type), Pedal Switch input, plus MIDI In and Out jacks.

Sound
The sound is excellent for such a low price. They even use it in motion pictures, it appears in the movie "The Rocker" when they audition for a drummer they use this drum machine.
Features
So expendable its
Ease of Use
Easy for any professional, but a novice would first start with the pre-set drum/bass lines to become familiar.

Made very well, no problems.
