Roland DR-01S Acoustic Music Rhythm Machine with Pedal Inputs

The DR-01S from BOSS is the world's first rhythm machine meant specifically for acoustic musicians. Unlike the drum machines often used by EDM artists and DJs meant to create synthetic beats, this unique tool is loaded with genuine percussion sounds and tasteful grooves that compliment the unplugged musician's performance. Acoustic guitarists, violinists, ukulelists, pianists and singes will all benefit from this tool.

With it's easy-to-use interface, you can make beats to suit any of your playing styles using a variety of percussion instruments. With one or two optional footswitches (sold separately), you can control it hands-free for a seamless performance experience! The onboard speaker reproduces the sound in a high quality that will blend with your acoustic instruments, and the line out jack allows you to bring it onto the stage with you. The rhythm machine is battery-powered, so you can take it anywhere.

Layer up to seven instruments to create the exact sounds you're looking for, and save up to 50 favorite grooves to quickly recall later. It is easy to adjust the volume, tempo, and time signature as well as include a count-in before the rhythm starts. A fade-out option helps create a sense of a polished ending to your songs.

For the acoustic musician needing to beef their performance with an array of rhythmic percussion options, look no further than the DR-01S!
