[sdiy] Roland CR-8000 drum voices

[Richie Burnett]

Hi Adam,

Thanks for posting this blog, and for sharing the sound examples.  It is 
interesting how the different sounds respond in different ways to varying 
trigger pulse amplitudes.  As you said in your blog, some have no variation, 
some change dramatically, and some have a certain component to the sound 
(like snare rattle, or tom noise) drop out below a particular amplitude. 
There's definitely useful sonic variation in there from triggering the 
voices in this way.

I remember our discussions about the CR8000 well.  It is an interesting beat 
box with a quite unique sound.  The rim shot sound in particular is quite 
unusual, both in its sound and the way it is created.  I remember 
discussions about one of the snare drum body partials sounding so quietly 
that it was almost inaudible too.

Cheers,

-Richie,

Up on my blog is a little look at this thing. The quirks of the voices were 
revealed once I had installed an Elby midi-to-trgger unit, that allows midi 
velocity to control trigger amplitude. There are some schematic snippets and 
audio examples. I must thank Richie Burnett of this list for taking the time 
to explain the genius behind some of these circuits - maximum effect with 
minimum parts!

Corrections of course welcome
