Introduction
The LDB-1 “Little Drummer Boy” is a modern recreation of the classic analog drum machines of the 80's,
like the Roland TR-606 and TR-808. Our goal was to recreate the warm sounds of the classics, using all
analog circuitry - not samples. The brain of the LDB-1 is a powerful digital microcontroller that triggers
the analog drum sounds and provides the sequencer, programmability and connectivity features. The
LDB-1 has all of the features of a classic analog drum machine in a small, affordable package.
