These videos and demos got me gassing first for a dbi, then i realized i don’t like the way it sounds,…so i went on a mad search for a better drum machine that is smaller and has midi out so i can stick on my octatrack pedalboard and control it with the ot.
Then i remembered that my a4 is just sitting there, setup on it’s own little pedalboard. and it’s an awesome drum machine as @Unifono says.
Another video. Nice review actually
I’m also not sold on the sound. And honestly, I think I am not able to go back to a sequencer without p-locks any more
thankfully not in german this time
They learn
I ve listened to every Demo now and the DBI has imho the same Problem Like 808/909…it Sounds Just Like a DBi-808ish. Thats good and Bad at the Same time.
The subtitles were good through.
Listen to a demo of the Impact, and then listen to this immediately afterwards. I think the Impact doesn’t quite get that round punchy Rolandy TR sound, but has its own thing going on.
It’s almost as if the Impact doesn’t…
have…
impact?
Roland Boutique TR09 is currently for 239 on Sale at thomann
Martin spends quite a bit of time, and has some fun, with the FM voice starting at about 6:20 in. Reinforces finalform’s wish (#26) for a drum machine with the kick and 7 voices of that FM engine.
I think the other thing unavoidable from this video is the playability of the DBI. A lot of bang for the buck if that’s how you intend to use this box.
my review:
Nice review, it sounds really good and the price/features ratio is superb. It makes a decent MIDI controller as well I understand.
Thanks!
