Overview

BOSS designed the DR-670 as a compact rhythm-creation tool built from the sounds of its flagship DR-770. Velocity-sensitive pads and a pad layout shaped like a bass guitar neck make rhythm and bass programming quick. A large LCD shows tempo at all times.

The reason to buy is a deep pattern library with a bass part and expressive pads, in a small machine that can run on batteries. The limit is that the listing omits the power adapter and gives no reliable size or weight.

Who it's for

People sketching rhythm and bass parts at home or on stage can trigger patterns on the fly with Direct Pattern Play. Buyers who want to import their own samples or need documentation on size should check first.
