ADS-7 is a seven-track analog drum machine made in Russia with 65 hands-on controls, a sequencer, MIDI, individual audio outputs and trigger inputs. Here's what it sounds like.
The Russian-made analog drum synthesizer inspired by the drum machines/synthesizers of the 70s-80s with a built-in 32-step sequencer and MIDI control has now been officially unveiled by AVP Synths. We reported on the upcoming drum machine less than a week ago. Now, we've an official video demo to share.
