Panasonic RD-9844 Rhythm Machine

I was reading about drum machines and for some reason I ended up here. I don’t think there is a thread about this machine. So here we go an incredibly detailed and technical review.

I’ve read other things on this site. Just amazing effort and service! (I have no relation to the site)

A 3 sound obsolete rhythm machine getting more interesting breakdowns than some contemporary reviewers give modern instruments, great article.

I know right! This person should be THE synth reviewer perhaps instead if people just going over presets and giving their “unbiased” opinions…

Really good article. I also would like to see new synths reviewed with this detail.

I would be delighted to read more deep dives on synth circuits and architecture, but I doubt that would be interesting or helpful to the average synth buyer.

That’s definitely true. For example, i wouldn’t understand technical differences between different instruments or machines.

But at least based on the people I see on Elektronauts, it looks like there are a lot of people who are into technical details. So maybe a 50/50 review would satisfy more people.
