From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
RAM Music Machine was a hardware add-on for the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC 464/664[1][2] released in 1986.[3] It was more advanced than the earlier SpecDrum and it could play melody samples, drum patterns or be used as an echo machine. One could sample sounds in 19,444 samples a second and use them.[4] It also had MIDI ports to connect to synthesisers.[5][4] By 1990 the hardware was advertised with a price of £50.[6][7]
Notable users include a teenaged Aphex Twin.[8]
