Re: Poll: Favorite drum machine
slightly off topic....anyone know what drum machine was used for Cocteau Twins Treasure?
Re: Poll: Favorite drum machine
sp-12 turbo
808
Drumtraks
Honorable mention for the Korg ES-1 too!
I'd say SP 1200 but I've not used one.

Re: Poll: Favorite drum machine
Bla bla everyone's a critic... Linn Drum and LM-1 could've been put together too, as you did with the Yamaha RX and Akai MPC. I like the poll though. Generally I think drum machines are awful. Just gimme the sounds. 
TR-505? What a piece of s**t. Forget about it. TR-626 much better, if you like that sort of thing.
TR-909 FTW.
Especially a rack mount with MIDI controllable synthesis, no sequencer.
