DESCRIPTION:
Sorry for the low volume. I wanted to record the instrument as it is. Without any compression, limiters etc. Just crank up the volume :)

Boss DR-202 was the first piece of gear I ever owned. I got it right when it came out1998.

I've saved the very first patches and patterns from the day when I got it and never had heart to record over those. In this video there is patterns from my really early days getting familiar with hardware gear, to more new stuff that I've programmed in last five years. This is not ment to be a product demo. Just to show how DR-202 sounds. Most of the Youtube videos from it seem to be hip hop oriented.

While its my first groovebox I still use it. It has pretty good set of drum sounds and its sequencer gets a lot of use.

DR-202 has three sequencer tracks, DRUMS, BASS and EXTernal.
Bass and Ext channels are polyphonic so you can record chords etc. Only bigger limitation for me is the pattern lenght. Patterns max lenght is 8 bars.
