WHAT IT DOES
WARNING: The D-2000 is NOT a “Linndrum” or a “TR606 simulation” or a sample
playback device! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a classic drum
machine or a real drummer! Do not expect it to sound or behave like a machine
trying to sound like a drummer! It is ABNORMAL. It does NOT behave like other
music products.
Also, please do not power it up, experiment for a few minutes, and then quickly
contact us, claiming it is “broken” or “bad”. Each new D-2000 was tested at the
factory very carefully. Many of our past products were often returned with a
warranty claim that they were “broken”. And most such “broken” units
turned
out to be working perfectly
. We will
publicly mock
anyone who returns a working
D-2000 claiming it is “broken”.
The D-2000 contains five drum “voices”, which use vacuum tubes, plus a
monophonic mixer also using a tube. Pushbuttons are provided to trigger each
of the drum sounds. The mixer also has a CV input that can be used to
completely mute the output if desired. At the far right of the panel is an 8hp
space for a Eurorack synthesizer module.
It is set up to install a trigger sequencer which produces the correct pulses
needed for the D-2000 voices. A 16-pin Euro power cable behind the panel can
p12v power to the module from the D-2000's supply. If you want the D-
2000 to produce automatic rhythms, you will need a trigger sequencer.
Metasonix recommends the Delptronics “Triggerman” or the ALM “Pamela's
Workout”. Either one will fit in the panel space and work with the D-2000 power
and trigger inputs. The EMW “8 Step Trigger Sequencer” should also work,
although it has not yet been tested.
Other trigger sequencers capable of producing short pulses for the “Pitched
