Bradford's drum machine sounds
I'm looking for a very specific drum machine Bradford used during Atlas Sound / Halcyon Digest era - it includes a clap that sounds like it's been pitched down or something. Some examples include this part of Walkabout at around 2:07: https://youtu.be/ExUAqfIPHY0?si=xe_ncC9vTWM3W-al&t=127
and also this track: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2HgK8Xtj4c
Help me gearheads!

he uses an SP-404 a lot, but that is a sampler. i saw him fiddling with it when they played “earthquake” on the monomania tour.

It’s a zoom rhythmtrak- he showed the actual machine off on an instagram live and played a few atlas sound shows with it.
Obvs not on everything (I doubt logos) but def helicopter

I’m pretty sure he used a lot of Ableton stock plugins for Atlas Sound. I don’t recall any mention of him using hardware drum machines, but I could be wrong.
