Brand: Akai
The Akai CR-80 is an electronic drum machine and rhythm composer that was first introduced in the early 1980s. It features a range of built-in drum sounds, including bass drum, snare, hi-hat, cymbals, tom-toms, and conga. The CR-80 allows users to program complex drum patterns using a simple step sequencer, with options for swing, accent emphasis, and fill-ins. It also has an external pulse input for synchronization with other devices. Today, the Akai CR-80 is considered a classic of the early drum machine era and is highly sought-after by collectors and retro synth enthusiasts.
