Yamaha RX8 Drum Machine

Yamaha RX8 drum machine. Came out in 1989, it has 43 voices of varying quality (kick drums like wet farts!), 100 patterns, 20 songs. Shaped like a plastic doorstop. Not one of the best drum machines ever but still has its charms. Not as boring as the RX17 and RX21. Clearly a budget drum machine, it boasted 16 bit samples and it would have gone head to head with the Alesis HR16, which had better samples.
