Actual Entry (non editable)
R-100 Digital Drum Machine (c) 1987 Kawai. The Kawai R-100 was a professional-grade digital drum machine designed for studio and live electronic music production. It used 12-bit PCM samples at 32 kHz, offering a set of 24 onboard drum and percussion sounds. It featured velocity-sensitive pads, extensive MIDI implementation, and a powerful built-in sequencer capable of pattern and song chaining. Positioned above the simpler R-50, the R-100 became known for its solid build quality, detailed sequencing capabilities, and distinctive late-1980s digital drum character. - TECHNICAL - 8 velocity-sensitive pads 24 internal 12-bit PCM drum samples 32 kHz sample rate 100 pattern memory + 100 song memory Up to ~3500-note sequencer capacity Individual outputs (multi-out routing to mixer) MIDI IN / OUT / THRU DIN sync + tape sync options Real-time and step programming Pad parameter editing (level, tuning, panning, sensitivity) - TRIVIA - The R-100 is widely considered one of Kawai’s most advanced 1980s drum machines, competing with Roland and Yamaha units of the same era. It uses 12-bit PCM samples, giving it a characteristic crunchy but punchy 80s drum texture. It includes velocity-sensitive pads, which was relatively advanced for 1987. It was often used in industrial, EBM, early house, and pop production due to its strong individual outputs and tight sequencing. The R-100 was the “big brother” of the R-50, offering more outputs and deeper editing control. It includes extensive rear-panel connectivity (individual outs, sync I/O, MIDI, footswitch inputs), making it unusually studio-flexible for its time. Modern producers often sample it for its raw, dry, punchy drum character rather than its original workflow. - SOURCES - Machine's bios.
