Members doc oc Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 I know the Rc-2 has some limited beats but is there a slightly more sophisticated drum machine that can go on a pedal board? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members mrbrown49 Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 The boss drum machines can be triggered with foot pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members buddhapaugh Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 The Line 6 JM4 is an option. A Looper and has built-in drum tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members volvo1800 Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 There are some ancient beasts from Maestro (gibson) pretty affordable too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tidal Rhythm Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 A lot of the digitech multi effect pedals have built in drum loops. I have the 355 model and it gives you a lot of drum patterns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members =JL= Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 Most desk top style drum machines like Alesis, Zoom etc can do start/stop and fills using very cheap non-latching footswitches. Might be worth downloading a few user manuals from their websites to find out what they can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members doc oc Posted February 9, 2010 Author Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 That thing looks cool. Does it do patterns or just single sounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hshaitan Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 I'd like a metronome pedal. Right now I'm recording a click track on my SMMH looper which is working out pretty well. It also gives me plenty of practice with the looper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members volvo1800 Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 Do you know of any model names? There's about half a dozen of them with different features and sound genres. There's a few floor units, and a couple that are like amp heads that plug in on top your amp that operate with floor pedals. The most popular one is called the "Rhythm king" There's a Rhythm Jester model on ebay, but it either doesn't have a foot switch feature or someone lost it. http://cgi.ebay.com/Maestro-Gibson-W-3-Woodwind-Rhythm-Unit-Needs-Repair_W0QQitemZ380192972735QQcmdZViewItemQQptZKeyboards_MIDI?hash=item5885445fbf There's an example of one of the floor models not what you want being that its woodwind themed, broken, and atrociously over priced . .. working models usually sell for like under 200 bucks.

Members Engl Kramer Posted February 9, 2010 Members Share Posted February 9, 2010 Reason 4 can be controlled by I think 5 control interfaces. That will give you your drums + synths+ samples. The drums on Kaoss pads are basic but great fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be worth downloading a few user manuals from their websites to find out what they can do. I got Boss DR770. Takes a FS-5U foot switch. Can you give me a sketch of how the foot switch works? Only good for toggling on and off one pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only good for toggling on and off one pattern? I use a cheap hossa momentary (non latching) to control mine. I usually just use it to start and stop loops but I think you can hook up a couple of footswitches and configure the machine to do different things with them. IIRC you can set them to start and stop, scroll through your list of saved songs, or tap tempo. The manuals pretty thick but it's in there some where.
