If not, is there a way to load your own sounds from WAV files?** A: I think there are enough available drums on the unit to get what you need. The unit cannot load new wav samples per user, but it can trigger outboard samplers if needed. I have done several songs where I've written the parts on this unit and have uploaded the midi and retriggered a few sounds in my DAW with different samplers - EZDrummer, Studio One's built-in sampler and Impact matrix style drum machine. I've also used this with Cubase and NI Battery to trigger samples. Overall, I think the unit is robust enough to cater to styles specified. You can layer hits (trigger two snares on top of each other for example) to get a fuller sound if needed. **Q: Does this device has microphone inputs, or does it use wireless microphone and it have a provision to slot in any disk for recording?** A: 2004 technology. No wireless. **Q: Are the presets (bass and drums) good for jazz and Latin? (Fusion, bop, bossa, etc)** A: Hi there! Yes, there are 500 Preset patterns built-in which cover many different styles of music - including Jazz, Latin, Bossa, etc. **Q: Within each preset are there variations available on the fly. Also are drum fills available on the fly?** A: Yes to both questions ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***. on June 12, 2017* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by G***T on June 17, 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by M***Y on April 10, 2010* --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3452606-boss-dr-880-dr-rhythm-drum-machine](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/3452606-boss-dr-880-dr-rhythm-drum-machine) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
