Brand: Akai
The Akai CR-83D is a drum machine that was first introduced in 1983. It features 16 factory-programmed rhythm patterns, each of which includes a bass drum, snare drum, hi-hat, and various cymbals and toms. In addition, the CR-83D allows users to program their own custom patterns and adjust various parameters such as tempo, swing, and sensitivity. This drum machine quickly became popular in the early 1980s due to its affordability and ease of use, and was used on many classic recordings from the time. The CR-83D has been sampling and triggering samples into modern software and hardware sequencers, continuing its legacy as a versatile drum machine for musicians and producers alike.
