Well I finally managed to find a Tanzmaus locally in Spain. Very decent price and like new 
Will report back once I put my hands on it
Thanks for sharing all these ideas and views.
Much appreciated,

So it has arrived yesterday and apart from checking all was good I did not have time to switch it on. Until today.
I had been reading the manual as well as watching a couple of very useful videos.
I really dig that thing. Took an afternoon to start getting the muscle memory but WOW.
Love the sound and the sequencer is well implemented.
The 2 only not analog voices (sample 1 & 2) add some flavour to it. LFO works well with most of the voices. I have read people stating that the rim shot circuit is useless as it has no parameters but using accents and flams as well as using the track length saves eating one of the other voice for polyrythm purpose
I have already 2 or 3 things going on with it.
Nearly more focused on it than my DT.

Congrats. Sample slots are also good for layering BDâs snares etc. I uploaded a mixture of mostly acoustic drums and 606 + 808 samples and Iâm very happy how they sound!. When I get around to swapping a few samples Iâll be glad to send you a pack if youâre interested. If / when preparing samples to upload, I recommend normalizing and using short fadeouts.

Could not be happier. That is the sound (of Analog) I was after.
That would be very nice. Thanks for the offer
If you donât mind me asking, what process are you going through to edit/chop/normalize your samples?
Better if they are straight away 12bit? What is the soft you are using to transfer, I am on Mac so I suppose SysxLibrarian would be the one?
Thanks for any hint

I tried to find the Sample Tool on the MFB site and it looks like theyâve taken it down. I checked links from the announcement on various sites and theyâre dead . I sent you the .exe , then remembered youâre on Mac. But I found the OSX version of Sample Tool in my archives and sent you that in second PM. I used Soundforge to trim, normalize and do fade outs. I last used the sample trans in 2018 and donât remember whether I did bit and sample rate in Soundforge or whether the app does it. Rereading the manual, thereâs nothing about samples having to be at 12 bit, 36Khz, so I think it does the conversion. Off the top of my head the sample rate is 36K but donât take my word for it. And now I just checked the latest OS available on the MFB site, and the Sample Tool is included in that folder 
The latest OS has to be installed for Sample transfer to work.

No PM received. My attempt at being of help was a bit chaotic. Anyways, main thing is the Sample Tool (incl. OSX version) is in the latest OS folder on MFBâs site. Do report on how you get on with the TM: Maybe in the Tanzmaus thread. On the whole, I prefer threads about gear Iâve got than those about gear I think I want!
I know the OP found what they wanted, but just for fun, hereâs a new, hand crafted analog drum synth, that really pushes the buttons for elegant. Itâs called the Recosynth Recodrum.
Look at this:
There is a good description of it here, with a couple of videos, and the price:
Very basic, but appears theyâve done the basic excellently. I think this is becoming common, new makers getting an opening by creating synths that get back to the core of a sound and technology and doing it really well.
Their home page is in Portuguese and English:
If you really like this you may want to start a thread for it, or get on the waiting list.

I do enjoy his little bursts of bouncy enthusiasm⊠what I have come to think of as the Stimming Stimmung.

Can you translate, I donât speak German.
I donât either! But I pick up words here and there. âStimmungâ means âmoodâ.

Stimmung could also mean tuning.

Does Stimming mean Tuned?
Edit : it means Ambiance.
There goes the s/h pricesâŠ
The older models also skyrocketed.
Stimming means nothing in German. Itâs his last name. You meant âStimmungâ, which can be mood, tuning or ambiance.

No, Stimming does not mean tuned (that would be: gestimmt).
Actually this word does not exist in german language (ok, there is a special word meant as an abbreviation of âSelf-stimulatory behaviourâ, but this is the same word as in english language).
So it is just his artist name maybe; I always thought it would be a mixture of the german words Stimmung (mood, tune, atmosphere) and stimmig (coherent, nice fitting, well tempered).
Back to drummachines: when my decision fell for the AR back then some years ago the TanzbÀr was on my list, second place. I still think it is a nice drummachine and I like its sound.

No itâs his real name. Martin Stimming. Germans are since a few years no longer allowed to carry âartistsâ name on their ID papers.
The TanzbÀr sounds absolutely wonderful. But the UI is total crap. Time to post some links to sample packs:

The tanzbĂ€r exactly sounds, like I would imagine an analog drummachine to sound, but which many offers in that category donât.
There is some special analog fairy dust going on, that other contenders and samples donât deliver. Some sounds of it are even more appealing to me to what I can hear in demos of some beloved roland classics.
As often, my opinion is based on demos, never tried any of them.
Unfortunately the tanzbÀr is quite hard to get now, build quality seems not to last and it looks quite confusing to operate
