■ A digital machine with pcm samples. Designed mainly to guitarist (in features an input for it) it features also a sequencer and some sounds with preset chords arrangements and various "styles" preset rhythms and patterns.

■ Quite all plastic with a non backlit LCD, the Dr5 is quite essential and a bit ... ugly! the design is quite weird with round button, far from TR808 system. See the Dr5 as an arranger with a lot of drums.

■ it features also some instruments, very similar to "U" line with canvas like sounds like choir, guitar, bass.
