The HTML-909 is modeled on the legendary Roland TR-909.
If you mess around with it for a little while, you’ll be surprised at how quickly you’re able to put together something that sounds dangerously close to listenable. For those who don’t know how it it works, here’s a brief intro: The buttons across each represent a “step” in the ever-looping timeline of sequence. Pick an instrument from the list at the top and push a button—it’ll play at that point in the loop. You get a different independent timeline for every instrument. You can also save up to 16 different patterns in this machine at one time, which winds up leaving you with a lot of possibilities. Throw a dance party!
In particular, I like that this little drum machine introduces decay parameters for several instrument. This allows you to control how quickly an instrument’s sound fizzles out.

Nice find OP. Not a musician by any stretch of the imagination, but fun experimenting. Heat added.
