Roland CR-78. is there a software version?

Post by the synthman » Mon Sep 07, 2015 10:11 am

Hi folks. Do any of you know if there is such a thing as a full "software " recreation of the iconic Roland CR-78 drum machine?. I'm not looking for samples of it I can find plenty of samples of it on line. No, I'm looking for a full CR-78 recreation in software that has the look (front panel layout) and all the preset patterns not just the sounds. Tell me, does such a thing exist? And if not, why not?

The closest thing I can think of is Funkbox for IOS. It's inspired by machines like the CR-78 and does have CR-78 sounds, but it's not an actual emulation. A faithful CR-78 app would be great though.

Elektrostudio's Rhytmus seems to be based on CR-78, at least to my ears.
Rhytmus Machine
UI is different, but the rhytms are there.
Casio CZ-1, Elektronika EM-25, Yamaha TX81Z, Roland JV-2080, Novation KS-rack, Korg Poly 800, Casio SK-1, Casio SK-8, Vermona E-piano, Akai S2000, Roland SP 404, Roland TR 505, Yamaha MR 10, Yamaha RX 5 and more

I'll second Funkbox. It's great for zipping around in and trying out new ideas. Sounds good,too.
