This is a pretty rare drum machine manufactured by EKO in 1972 in Recanati, Italy. Model ComputeRhythm, maybe one of 15-20 ever made (curiously SN #0113). This particular one is owned by a musician living in Spain, and It was repaired and slightly modified by me on the past months (www.synthoma.net). Before giving back to its owner I have the chance to made these demonstration videos to show its features and incredible programing methods. Due to the price it was mainly used by famous electronic musicians like Jean-Michel Jarre and Manuel Göttsching (founder member of Ashra Tempel). JM Jarre has used it extensively on his first albums: "Oxygene" and "Equinoxe". It can be seen on his Equinoxe 5 videoclip from 1978 (at 0:36): www.youtube.com Please, enjoy this first demo, and sorry about the poor quality video. It was made by a webcam. However, the audio was taken directly from the mixer.

2nd part of demonstration. Three jacks was applied on this drum machine, Trigger IN, Trigger Out and Start / Stop Out. On this demo, the Trigger IN feature is shown. When a 1/4" jack is connected on the Trigger input, the sequence stops, and remain in "waiting" mode for an external trigger. On this case the trigger is provided from a gate out of a Roland MPU-101 midi converter, then a midi software running on a PC (not shown) controls the tempo of the drum machine, beyond its own internal clock capabilities. On high speeds the refresh of the webcam cant permit to see the MPU-101 gate LED flashing synchronized with the EKO sequence, but in very low tempo is easily noticeable.
