Description

The Medeli MR101S is a no-nonsense, portable drum machine designed for solo artists looking to enrich their live performances with drum beats, and for musicians searching for an alternative to practicing with a traditional metronome.

48 drum kits and 100 preset drum patterns cover a wide range of musical genres, and you can also record and save up to 100 of your own custom patterns, giving the MR101S nearly unlimited possibilities. The included foot pedal gives you hands-free flexibility to trigger fills, play sounds, tap your desired tempo, and start or stop patterns. Use the swing control to add feel and groove to the built-in patterns or your own recorded patterns.

The built-in stereo speakers are perfect for working on your beats without headphones or an amplifier. Send and receive MIDI and audio via USB-C for seamless integration with home studio software or creative apps on the go. The 16 touch-sensitive drum pads light up while playing and allow you to finger-drum in real-time or easily record your own beats. Compact and lightweight: the MR101S supports battery power (or power via USB-C), so you can take your personal drummer with you anywhere to make music.
