OUT OF PRODUCTION
The very first version of ADS-7.
Only x30 units were ever produced.
Follow up is the new mk2 version.
ADS-7 Analog Drum Synthesizer direct mix out through a spring reverb into a soundcard.
No external sequencing, all coming from ADS-7 sequencer. Switching between pre-programmed patterns and tweaking away. Panning also done from the unit itself.
