The CompuRhythm CR-5000 is Roland's 1981 preset-and-programmable rhythm machine, and it sits right in the family tree between the legendary CR-78 and the TR-808. That means proper vintage Roland analog drum voices, warm, punchy and instantly nostalgic, served up through a deep bank of preset patterns (rock, disco, bossa, samba, swing and more) plus programmable patterns of your own. It is dead simple and seriously fun, a brilliant little idea-generator for songwriting and a genuine collector's piece with that unmistakable late-70s/early-80s Roland sound. Plug it in, hit start, and chase that classic drum-machine groove.
