This LXR was built by SuperNick (Nick) from the XRG channel, and he did a pretty good job of it. There are more solder points than a solar-powered hat! In all honesty, I just like drum machines for the clap noise they can make… I’m simple like that.

The LXR is a digital drum synthesiser with a built-in sequencer and six instrument voices, each with plenty of parameters to fiddle with. What looks like a straightforward sixteen-step sequencer can actually divide those steps into smaller pieces, with a heap of modulation options for making much more complicated rhythms.

There’s even a performance mode for playing around with rolls and changing sounds while a pattern is running. Quite a clever little machine, especially if you’re planning to do more with it than make clap noises. Perhaps I’m easily entertained!
