As a drum _synth_ I guess it is. But there are older preset beatboxes I'm 
sure...

I had a enjoying evening last night when I participated in a radio show to 
be broadcasted on swedish radio (p2). It was me and another synth maniac who 
listened to clips from eleven machines and commenting and trying to figure 
out which machines we heard. I think we did a pretty good job though I 
totally missed out on the OSCar and I even have one of those suckers myself 
*embaressed*

Anyway, as eleventh and bonus track he had chosen a drum synth which he 
though would be hard and weird. I nailed it after a few seconds as the Pearl 
SY-1 Syncussion. I guess I'm a drum synth guy! :)

And my house tech just mailed me and told me the UP K2-X is alive and 
kicking and fully functional again. Can't wait to pick it up! %)

Certainly beat boxes go back much further.  Rhythicon anyone?  

http://www.obsolete.com/120_years/machines/rhythmicon/index.html

And if you want to go pre-electronic, you could include the percussion 
sections of old fairground organs - all punched cards, compressed air 
and modified drums/percussion.
 


Steve

thanx for the nice history lesson

BERK!

PS Best wishes 2 all of U out there ( I guess I'm getting old, and sentimental)
