This very, very special machine can be seen and heard in the 20 minute video "EPIC!!! '80s Drums 'n' Echo: Roger Nichols WENDEL/WENDELjr Sequential Drumtraks Lexicon 224XL/LARC", and the video shown in this listing "BEST IN THE WORLD!!! Sequential Circuits Drumtraks w/5 Tuners and 4 Individual Outputs Jamming In 4K" is an edited 7-minute excerpt from the full video that also shows other machines with examples of 1980s and 1990s music. Two of those WENDELjr drum machines with full drum kits of sounds are listed here in my other eBay listings. This is the best Sequential Drumtraks available in the world. No one else has this. This looks perfect and it works perfectly. The lithium backup battery is good with all patterns held by what I believe to be the original battery which presently reads 3.42v. Kids, in the 1980s we didn't put these batteries in crappy tin-plated sockets so we could change the batteries ever 0.2 seconds because the batteries were good, they LASTED, usually decades. There are loads of 1995 Pentium PCs getting rained on in landfills that still have the original coin cells in them. All controls work like brand new, and the sound is fantastic. This is Drumtraks Model 400, serial number 400-2553. The Drumtraks was the world's first MIDI drum machine released in 1983, the lookalike companion to the Prophet-5 analog synthesizer, the volume and tuning of each sound can be precisely programmed for each note. This one has a rare modification which adds 5 analog drum tuning pots and four additional individual outputs. The tuners and outputs are organized as 4 from the bottom up the same as the right four drum buttons right-left and the four rear outputs are the same right-left, and the top/5th pot is for the snare all the way over second from left which already had a factory output. This machine has the factory Drumtraks crash cymbal and ride cymbal sounds which are absolutely excellent (hear sounds in the video above) and the factory MIDI upgrade software version 4 which has omni and poly modes over 16 MIDI channels, MIDI pads-out commands, velocity sensitivity via MIDI, the best version for using the Drumtraks as a sound module with a MIDI sequencer (but version 5 exists with improved MIDI sync), all in factory IC sockets. All the other sounds have been replaced with six ZIF sockets with absolutely unbelievably killer sounds, just hear the snare in the video, it makes the whole machine huge. The custom sounds are the bass drum, snare drum, hi-hat (amazing), and two chips holding two custom percussion sounds each. The video lets you hear them all with the REAL 1980s reverb as they were used back in the 1980s. This machine is in better than excellent condition (basically as right out of the box except for a rough area in the rear near the serial number tag where a producer's label was removed) and everything works as new. I've had this machine here for 27 years, since 1996. The circuitry that performs these modifications will not be photographed and the files of these sound chips will not be named, listed, or e-mailed out to people who always ask for them. This is a Synhouse exclusive. But isn't it all? Shipping: Shipping to USA is flat rate $127.50, but if you are in California, please send me a message BEFORE you buy and I will reduce the shipping to $92.25 for you. This will be packed very, very carefully for shipment. It will be in a well over sized box packed with a lot of solid foam. Synhouse has shipped electronic music machines to 42 countries, trust me that this will be packed to arrive safely. Free local pickup in the Los Feliz district of Los Angeles is okay if you can work around my very busy schedule. Free pick up means to select free local pickup at checkout, so I don't already pay 16.745% to eBay (this is EXACTLY how much I just paid for the sale of an SP1200 overlay AND the shipping charge, no matter what eBay says about it) before someone says they want to do a free local pickup. If you paid for shipping, then you paid for shipping and the money is not coming back. Please see my other eBay listings as well, many treasured items from my electronic music collection are being sold to raise money for big projects, including two of the WENDELjr drum machines with full drum kits of sounds that NO ONE ELSE has. Will possibly list the Don Henley Linn LM-1 Drum Computer with remote control for individual tuning of all drums, it is the only one that has ever existed in the world. Or Supertramp's $17,000 Yamaha GS1. Or the finest Sequential T8 in the world. Or maybe an Oberheim Matrix-12. I have big projects waiting for the funds.
