Roland TR-808

owner: John Goodman

"The Roland TR-808 is a revolutionary computer-controlled rhythm machine which offers up to 768 measures of programming at a time. In addition, this unit offers more percussive variations and more effects than virtually any other unit on the market. With it you can visualize patterns and real-time processing, program complete songs, and do just about everything else a rhythm machine should do with more accuracy and less trouble.

  • "Number of rhythms:
    • Basic, A/B x 12
    • Intro/Fill-in, A/B x 4
  • Rhythm and track:
    • 64 measures x 12 tracks (768 measures by using 12-tracks)
  • Measure Divisions:
    • 32 steps can be selected at maximum as desired
  • Sound Sources:
    • Bass drum
    • Snare drum
    • Low, Mid, Hi Tom/Conga
    • Rimshot/Claves
    • Handclap/Maracas
    • Cow bell
    • Cymbal
    • Open hi-hat & Closed hi-hat
    • Accent" (NOTE: Accent isn't a sound. Instead it lets you place accents on certain beats in the bar. All instruments playing on these beats are accented.)
