Elka | Drummer One

Description

The Elka Drummer One Analog Drum Machine has 16 preset rhythms and 9 individual drum sounds that all have volume knobs on the front of the unit. 

Notes on the Solo Rhythmer interface connector from the auction:

The "Solo Rhythmer" plug on the rear of the unit. Considering the vintage of this unit, is that it was used to interface with an Elka organ and provide some sort of gating/arpeggio CV-type functions to the organ.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
