 The DDD-1 is a digital programmable drum machine from Korg from the mid-eighties.  It offers 18 electronic drum sounds with a sound that is typical of this era.  Basic kicks, snares, toms, rimshot, closed hi hats, open hi hats, ride, crash, claps, cowbell, tambourine and cabasa. Additional sounds can be added using ROM cards.  The DDD-1 also featured a sampling option allowing very short and limited sampling  for that extra edge of unique sounds to add to your drumkit. Drum sounds can be triggered  from the 14 assignable velocity sensitive trigger-pads and there are some individual outputs.

 Programming the DDD-1 is fairly straight forward. Memory holds 100 patterns which  can be linked or chained to form songs, for which there are 10 song memory locations.  The drum sounds have editable parameters such as decay and tuning. For added  groove in your patterns there are Roll and Flam effects. The DDD-1 is equipped with full  MIDI implementation making it an easy drum machine to use in any MIDI studio. If you  like typical eighties drum sounds, the DDD-1 would be a formidable alternative  to other similar drum machines like the Roland TR-707  and offers more professional features than its counterpart, the DDD-5.
