A clever idea for a plug-in replacement for a human drummer quickly became something else entirely. New genres of music were born almost completely from the sounds and character flaws inherent in these machines.
always on time
Most drum machines are a hybrid of digital and analog technology and require a broad skill-set and understanding to properly troubleshoot and maintain. We have been repairing and living with these machines for many years and have a strong familiarity with their function and typical failure points.
Typical work
Troubleshooting and diagnosis (stability, distortion, non-function)
Power supply repair and maintenance
Cleaning or replacing panel pots, sliders, switches
Deep cleaning (board level)
Calibration
ROM upgrades
Modifications (in-house / kit installation)
Restoration
Let’s do it once and do it right.
We can restore your valuable but tired drum machine to better-than-new. This type of work is the best way to ensure reliability from an older instrument, and typically includes:
Servicing, rebuilding, and replacing panel controls
Proactively addressing common failure points
Physical and cosmetic repairs and upgrades
Board-by-board cleaning and rebuild
Modifications
We strive to make every modification look and function as though the instrument came from the factory that way. Have a particular mod in mind or just curious what is possible? Contact us and let’s talk about it.
