For sale - early drum machine/beatbox. Rare.
STIX Programma ST-305 'Computer Rhythm' by Soundmaster. One of my late muso-father's collection. Early 80's. In original box (minor scuffs). Collector's piece.
I have taken it to my local music shop where we found it to be in working order with good sound quality. All knobs etc present and working.
I remember playing with this when I was young and it ran off an amp and 4x AA batteries with standard leads. My Dad was really precious about anything related to music so it has been carefully stored, barely used and well looked after.
Weighs about 900g in box. I will be happy to insure/send by recorded delivery by negotiation - please email me.
I would be happy to supply any further details or more photos on request.
The reserve placed on this item is £50.
Sorry but as accurate descriptions - no returns.

"It brought the sounds out on individual outputs. This in itself elevated the imaginatively named Stix above the competition at the time. |
|
That said, of course, the sounds were limited offering just the bare bones - kick, snare, hi-hat, lo and hi tom and a cymbal. The sounds were also very 'analogue' and made up of simple sine waves for pitched drum sounds (kick, toms and the pitched element of the snare) and white noise for the snare, hats and cymbal.
But those individual outputs allowed these basic sounds to be transformed into something altogether different and in fact, the Stix may well have been the first budget beatbox to allow such facilities." |
