# Korg Rhythm 55
“p for bids; a prime example of the super rare, near legendary KORG RHYTHM 55 ANALOG DRUM MACHINE, complete with original foot switch!
This classic unit was originally released in 1979 and sold for a couple of years (it was replaced by the Rhythm 55B in 1982). It, or the 55B have been used by such luminaries as Depeche Mode and Jean Michel Jarre, and its praises are sung far and wide for sound quality, ease of use, and range of sound reproductivity. This comes despite its lack of programmability, as it has enough presets and combinations available to offset its age, and makes a great addition to any vintage-influenced modern electronic sound. Youtube and other web sites have plenty of audio & video footgage of these machines in action – a simple search will yield a ton of results there, and in terms of reviews, etc.
All functions on this classic beat box work just fine as tested, on the unit itself as well as on the foot switch. It really is in excellent condition, both mechanically and visually- not a blemish on it!” Link
