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. It also had MIDI ports to connect to synthesisers.[4] [5] By 1990 the hardware was advertised with a price of £50.[6] [7]
