the echoplex is still in production, currently being made by Gibson's
Trace-Elliot division. You can ask them about it at info@trace-elliot.com.
Or, a little birdie just told me there is a person in the Gibson sales
department handling new echoplexes, Gil Pini, 1-800-544-2766 x217 or
gpini@gibson.com. (poor Gil is about to get deluged with inquiries
now.....:-)

to me it seems a drum machine should change patterns with a prog ch
command. I think its odd that your's doesn't. In fact, I just tried this
with my old Alesis hr-16 and it worked fine. Are you sure you have the midi
parameters set up right?
