I'm chiming in to add my thanks for doing this research and publishing what you found.

I think the snare is made up of two bridged-T oscillators plus some noise, but one of those oscillators is mixed so low you would hardly know it was there. I don’t recall there being a trim pot on this part of the circuit so Roland’s engineers must have had their reasons for putting it there...

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!
