| Drum Machines are musical devices that have a bank, or set of musical sounds, of artificial or real percussion sounds. They also allow you to program and play audio data through a sequencer. The various sounds used in musical sequences can be easily managed through a convenient and user-friendly interface. However, this technology did not always allow for such interactivity between the user and the hardware. The first drum machines made in the 1950s and 60s were meant to be accessories to organs. The technology only featured pre-produced drum rhythms that coulbe be played back to be accompanied with piano or organ playing (TechnoGuide). Eventually. the technology progressed to incorporate ways to create personalized rhythms and sequence them at the desire of the user. For this purpose in 1975, Roland Corp., a music technology manufacturer, made the first programmable drum machine. This started a wave in the production of drum machines, which gradually evolved into more advanced musical devices. In the 1980s, when technology made a shift towards digital data, more progressed drum machines came into widespread use in modern music and has since been a staple in electronic music (Beat Box). | ||||||||||||||||||||||
