Boss DR5 Sell Your DIGITAKT

Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s mosthated audio tools. After redirecting the money for a nice 2018 weekend trip, spending a couple of years in my own private Elektron bootcamp and embracing the “limitations breed creativity” Zen I have become quite an avid Digitakt user.

However, today we are going to talk about the Boss DR5. This 1994 drum machine looks suspiciously similar to the Swedish mono samplers so after rumors of Digitakts discontinuation started swirling a while back I might as well take a look at this cheapskate alternative.
