Drum Machines and Samplers in their hardware form have been a hugely popular set of instruments for the digital musician since the 1980’s.
A drum machine is a piece of hardware that gives you drum sounds and a series of controls to change the timing, sequence and obviously the sound. A sampler is a piece of hardware that enables you to record and then reproduce any sound. This sound can be edited and replayed on stage or in the studio.
Drum Machines such as the 808 and 909 that were leaders in the market at the beginning are still popular and emulated today in modern sound kits and performance control. Early samplers from companies such as Akai Pro lead the way for newer smaller and more powerful samplers that now days can fit inside your pocket.
