The Boss DR55 'Dr Rhythm' was the first drum machine I ever owned. I had avoided them in the past because they were either too expensive or they only had cheesy bossa nova presets which were hardly appropriate for the electronica I was creating at the time. However, the DR55 changed that. Despite its limitations, Roland have to be applauded for bringing this little marvel out through their Boss brand name. You could play Variation A or Variation B or have A run into B for longer patterns. There was no song mode to chain patterns - patterns had to be switched manually in real-time. It had four sounds - kick, snare, rimshot and hi-hat. Naturally, they were electronically generated but you can hear the genesis of the later TR series in these sounds.https://lightupalife.org.uk/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1629591d9193c6---Complete-home-health-icd-9-cm-diagnosis-coding-manual-2012.pdf The kick, snare and rimshot were totally programmable but the hi-hat was switched with settings of OFF, 8ths, 12ths and 16ths. There was a simple tone control to roll-off some HF but this affected all sounds equally so was of limited use. Programming was strictly step-time. To write a pattern, you first selected the pattern memory you wanted to write into then flicked a switch to the WRITE mode. You then had to select the sound you wanted to program from a four-way slider switch and press START where you wanted a beat and STOP where you wanted a rest. Pressing either advanced you to the next step. Primitive but it actually worked very well. Of course, the thing had no dynamics - instead, there was a fourth 'sound' channel selection - AC (accent) - where you could program in an accent for certain beats (although this affected all sounds falling on that beat). If only the hi-hat had been programmable. Interestingly, for such a budget unit, it had quite good sync facilities. You could drive an analogue or digital sequencer or arpeggiator from it and it would sync to Roland's own CSQ sequencers.Nowadays, it could be argued that the sounds have limited appeal (unless you're doing early Soft Cell covers!) but they are useful nonetheless. Both the Paia and the dr-55 have spent some time traveling back and forth across the country, between myself and one of my music collaborators, and they have both survived. I'm curious to try some dr-55 mods. hmmm. Mars 10-04-09 I first saw punk band, The Fast, who used one, and it was so cool looking, and so quick to change beats with, that I ordered one new from Mannys. I was able to sync it with an old Paia analog sequencer I had for some interesting loops.

Think early Depech Mode etc. Programming is pretty straight forward however without any kind of display it's up to the user to count steps and keep track of the pattern in their head. Playback is simple and switching between patterns with the big-ass knob is lots of fun. You can't slave the DR-55 but you can use it as the master clock running a CSQ sequencer. There is also a programmable trigger output allowing you to create cool arpeggio patterns with something like a Juno-6 or trigger additional drum sounds from another module. I use my DR-55 to trigger a baseline on my Juno while I jam over top on another synth. As of 2012 these are still pretty cheap. I should also mention that the build quality of the DR-55 is outstanding. Mine has endured quite a bit of accidental abuse over the years and still looks and functions like new.

Sync system works only as master clock but ouputs triggers Memory the patterns memory is retained as long as there are batteries. The labels on one of my DR-55s had faded long ago, and the hoods had yellowed slightly. Although you can clock other equipment from the DR-55, it would be nice to be able to use an external clock to sync the Boss to, which would allow the Boss to trigger yet more devices with its CSQ and DBS outputs (active on Accented steps only and every step, respectively). By replacing the existing FS jack socket, adding a small circuit, and replacing a jumper, we can safely trigger the DR-55 from an external trigger. The only two functional disadvantages of my mod are that you must set the Boss’ tempo to Fast, and to reset the pattern when stopped mid-way you need to remove the trigger plug.Below that is a parts list. Key to this is the replacement FS jack socket; it needs to be TRS (ie.I used a Lumberg KLBPSS3 (datasheet here, Farnell UK stock page here ). The photos below illustrate my own placement. The replacement connections for the upper and lower point of this removed jumper are shown in the diagram, and you can see in the photos how I wired this up. It’s edge triggered, so the pulse can be any length over a couple of milliseconds. The operating principle is to use the DR-55’s existing clock, but to gate it on for a very short duration; normally when the clock is gated off again, the pattern resets, but the new jack socket enables us to disable that by breaking the reset connection when a jack is inserted. This is because the DR-55’s clock, once triggered, finishes its pulse cycle. If this is longer than the incoming trigger cycle, it will ignore the new trigger; if we set the speed dial to its fastest, we can clock the DR-55 at any rate up to its natural maximum.https://webhostmurah.com/wp-content/plugins/formcraft/file-upload/server/content/files/1629591ef1b185---Complete-home-health-icd-9-cm-diagnosis-coding-manual.pdf To reset the pattern at this stage, you need to unplug the trigger jack and hit Stop.In its original form, the DR-55 takes only batteries, and though this might be good for reducing cable clutter and having to find yet another wall-wart, it does mean you need to keep a regular stock of fresh AAs, and can guarantee that just when you want to use it, your DR-55’s batteries are too drained for the unit to function correctly. I provide instructions for this below. It’s not the only way to do the job, but this is how I did it, and it works just fine. Modding the DR-55 in this way means it no longer accepts batteries, which means two things: 1) you will need access to a 9V adapter, and 2) pattern data will not be retained on power-off. Given that filling the memory of this humble machine can be done in less than five minutes, and I never use this outside my own home studio, I never found memory retention to be an issue. It would be possible to design a DC input that also catered for memory backup via battery, but I’m not going there. I chose to use a 5V regulator propped up with a diode to give around 5.6V, but you could also use a 6V regulator and omit D2. The input jack I used is a 3.5mm mono minijack of the kind often used for audio and CV interconnects, mainly because I had lots of them and the holes are easier to drill than the larger ones needed for a plastic-bodied insulated barrel connector. Some barrel connectors do likewise. It will be panel-mounted using the socket: Black is ground, red is positive. This works, but you still need to insert an audio cable to turn the DR-55 on. It’s a simple mod that just means a couple of wiring changes. The audio output socket is wired by default to both ground and audio signal, as well as having two pins wired to act as a switch when a jack is insterted. We want to retain the audio and ground connections, but not the switch. We remove those wires and instead bridge the corresponding points on the PCB.http://bacvietexpress.com/upload/userfiles/files/c50-manual-transmission.pdf My humble DR-55 now works from a regular 9V DC wall-wart supply, and switches on whether or not its audio is connected.I recommend the following procedure: Those standoffs are better left attached to the body. Note the arrangement of the jack wiring when you gain access, as it’s easy to trap wires on reassembly. The Boss DR-55 Service Manual also recommends avoiding certain wire placement due to possible interference. Kick, Snare, and Rimshot can be programmed as desired, as can an Accent control that boosts the volume of the steps on which it appears. The Hi-hats are non-programmable and appear at every step, every other step, or not at all, as governed by a switch. The sounds themselves are generated by analogue circuits, and are simple but punchy, sounding similar to the CR-78. The only other control over the sounds is an overall Tone control, which is kind of a one-knob EQ and emphasises the lows or highs as swept along its rotation. Generally, each step is assumed to be a semi-quaver or 16th-note.The sounds are programmed separately, as governed by the Sound switch, allowing independent writing of the Kick, Snare, Rimshot, and Accent. Each time a button is pressed, the step is written with the appropriate data, and the pattern moves on to the next step. Programming is exited by switching back to Play Mode. All sounds are heard during programming. If the pattern or the pattern mode is switched during playback, the change is instantaneous. There are two outputs: DBS, which puts out a 5V pulse on every step, and CSQ, which puts out a 5V pulse on every Accent hit. When the CSQ output is connected, the Accent is disabled from the onboard sounds. The Accent level control has no effect on the output pulse level. There is no way to independently set their levels. However, it must be noted that the memory IC used in the DR-55 is only tolerant of low voltages (no more than around 7V max), and a fresh 9V PP3 will destroy it permanently and irreversibly. The only solution is to replace the memory. Of course these ICs are obsolete and hard to find. Look after your DR-55! Low batteries affect memory retention and sound. It should also be noted that the DR-55 will not power up without a jack plugged into the audio ouput. It is a cheap source of a basic set of CR-78 style analogue percussion sounds, and is fun in combination with synthesizer arpeggiators and analogue sequencers. It was made to illustrate a working sale item, but shows effectively how cumbersome by modern standards the programming is. Simple rhythms are relatively painless to input, but anything remotely fancy takes a bit of thought.You get the idea, though. To find out more, including how to control cookies, see here.

The DR-55 Dr. Rhythm was released in 1980 and was one of the first step-write-style drum machines, and it was the first rhythm machine in BOSS' successful Dr. Analog Drum Machine.

DESCRIPTION Dr -55 has four sounds, one mono output and can be controlled with control pulses from outside (DBS or CSQ). DR-55 is powered by4 1,5 battery (6V).Thank you, for helping us keep this platform clean. The editors will have a look at it as soon as possible. The start and stop pins remain at a high impedance and go low impedance 0V for approximately 12mS on receiving the respective MIDI start or stop. This was done for easy interfacing. It generates the 24 MIDI clocks per metronome by transmitting 6 MIDI clocks for every pulse of the DR-55 internal clock. A start and stop wire need to be wired to the DR-55 board (2 wires), they share the same holes as the start and stop buttons themselves. The final two wires are for the sync pulse. A jumper wire needs to removed and replaced with two wires. One wire being the DR-55 clock-out, the other being the DR-55 clock in, it's the jumper is right between the start and stop buttons, so it's not hard to find. The six wires run to a DB9 connector grafted into the side of the unit. You don't have to use a DB9 connector, thats just how I did it. I don't have my digital camera anymore, so I cant share photos of how I did it (maybe later if I get hold of one), but if you get the service manual off Colin Fraser's site (he is the man!), it's not too hard to trace the board. Because the stop button on the DR-55 normally stops the internal clock as well, if the clock continues to run in stop mode, the first step of the sequence keeps firing. That might be fixed in code at a later date(I have an idea on how to do it), all depends on how much it pisses me off because in external MIDI sync mode, I never use the start and stop buttons on the DR-55 anyways. If I get hassled enough, I might fix it when I get the time. When the DR-55 is acting as a master sync, the start and stop work as expected. A 6N138 Opto-coupler is used for the MIDI input. R7 R8 and R9 limit the current on the output pins within the PIC spec. D1 is there to drop the supply voltage below 5.5V as required by the PIC specs. SW1 is a DPST switch (DPDT on the board) which acts to select the MIDI direction, and the DR-55 sync source. Our payment security system encrypts your information during transmission.

Dennis G. 5.0 out of 5 stars This DVD is one of the most effective tutorials I have ever seen. It arrived on the same day as the Boss DR-800 and I'm very grateful it did. While the DR-800 manual is very good, going through the DVD first was very helpful -- it totally demystified the nature of the device and instilled enthusiasm for using it. The gentleman providing the instruction is fantastic. He is clear, personable and articulate. He has a real talent for knowing when to elaborate. Every time I was unclear on a particular point, it was like he anticipated it and, in the next 10 seconds, addressed that point. He also communicated his genuine appreciate for how cool a tool the DR-800 is. I can't recommend this DVD highly enough. I think it's saved me hours in getting up to speed. I found it to be more than worth the money.This is an excellent tutorial. Period. Even without having the Machine in front of me I was able to follow the instruction very closely and understood the training fully. The instruction is thorough and interesting. The instructor actually adds some life to the training (what could have been a boring and head-banging overload). He did a great job keeping me on track and interested throughout. I know I will be reviewing this DVD tutorial time and again until I've got this thing mastered. Great DVD, great price, and a can not do without, resource. Trying to learn this machine with just the owner user manual would be utterly exhausting. Thanks again to Amazon for providing another great product.It answered all my questions about the functions of this unit and I would buy other products of this type from the seller. Did just what I expected it to do.The DR-880 has so many features that even the most experienced artist could benefit from having a reference guide to unlock the full potential of the DR-880.If you start out just using the build-in patterns, the more you use it, the more features you will want to use. The video definately helps getting started. The real learning starts with the doing.modifying patterns and building songs. What I first thought I understood, turned out not to be as clear as it seemed. I continue to go back to the video and catch details that I missed.coupled with the manual, it all comes together. My objective is to make music and not to fiddle with a machine. After you do a few patterns and songs, the process becomes more natural.Roland certainly know their stuff in seeking the experience and support of David Wills (of ProAudioDVDs.com) in making this video. I already have other videos created by David for other equipment i own and my experience using these meant i had every confidence in the quality of this video. I feel David's delivery on products he reviews to be excellent, very clear, very thourough and full of useful tutorials on everything you wish to know about your product. I am hopeless when trying to learn from paper manuals and I can't praise this product enough.Sorry, we failed to record your vote. Please try again.
