CR78 - Drum Loops & Hits

Most people know the CR-78 (Released in 1978) as the first mass production user-programmable drum machine (first programable Drum Machine was actually the EKO ComputeRhythm with only 15-25 made)

but many do not realise that the CR78 was the first drum machine to offer external synchronisation options, both external clock in and trigger clock out. (External Clock in was used for the loops in this Pack)

This made it a solid time keeper, allowing tight integration with other electronic instruments in the electronic music studio.
