A photo posted on his facebook page, showing the MFB-522, 2 Novation Launchpads, and several other pieces of gear. His comment: "I have 128+ midi channels in ableton that i use to sequence [the MFB-522]. the 2 launch pads are used to make a 1 bar sequence of the 8 different sounds. i love the sounds it makes.... you can, as i do, run it through ableton if you wish you process it..."

"I recorded myself triggering a kick, snare and toms with no sync, while the sequencer is playing 16th notes hats and rim shots. The drummachine MFB 522 is distorted through the mic preamp of a cheap dj mixer."

I just played my first show a couple weeks ago. It’s actually my favorite NYC party called Mutual Dreaming, always good vibes. That was probably the only reason I agreed to play, and so I spent the week before learning the songs…again. My live set-up is exactly the same as my studio set-up, minus a couple keyboards: Roland SH-101 Roland TR-707 MFB 522 MFB Fliterbox EHX 2880 loop pedal EHX reverb pedal Casio SK-1 Yamaha DX100 MPC500 and a small mixer.

I wanted a real analog TR808 sounding drum computer. This one is analog and sounding a bit as a TR808. Only cons is its all mini jack output.

TR-808 like sounding budget drum computer

Not produced anymore. A very little drum computer which comes pretty close to the sound of the TR-808. All analog generated sounds. It was replaced with the newer MFB TANZBÄR LITE which costs twice as much, Not sure if that price is justified. The MFB-522 is pretty good.
