Owned one of these machines the CR-8000, sort of cheap version of the 808, kinda KR-55 sounding a bit too, but can be a bit of bastard to program.

Sorry to interrupt in your guys' discussion, I didn't want to make a new thread... but could someone recommend me other drum machines that sound similar to the tr-909? I'm going for the 909's kind of "hard" sound and will be using it for electro type stuff. Thanks If your gonna do Electro, the TR-8...

Interesting argument tho-what if you make the rjd2 or laser gun sounds from Star Wars on your ARP 2600... Can "sounds" in themselves be copyrighted? I know Pete Namlook sampled an entire 50 minutes of the disney movie "The Black Hole" (See: Namlook VII), but he did mangle it a lot to a certain degr...

except for the bedroom kiddies who churn out trite trance music with a copy of Dance Ejay

both good drum machines, and they work well together, kinda miss them too, but the MD-UW's cover all that now

"I did use the 'big rig' moog initially. But when the mini-moog came along it was more to my liking and I gave away the big rig to a dear friend of mine." Now that is interesting because Chris Franke of Tangerine Dream mentioned he acquired a second moog modular from the moody blues in the early 70...

Jethro Tull's Passion Play used a lot of Minimoog "The Forest Dance Parts I & II" as well as the "Overseer Overture" and other parts of the album. But of course this is 1973 this one came from, so not pre-73.

that extra $350 gives you a very fast 2.5mb flash ROM, now people like me and JSR would like something like 10mb of ROM, but for that the MD-UW would be very costly indeed. it's not about the limited sample space ie: MD-UW classic: 2mb 32 ROM slots, 2 RAM slots, MD-UW mkII: 2.5mb 48 ROM slots, 4 RAM...

They no longer do the upgrade as stated, you'll probably have to sell your SPS-1 and save a little bit money and buy a UW mkII instead.

a nice little plastik trak TrondC finally get to hear the acidlab this time.

i see you used 707 & 808 rimshot samples as well as other drum samples in the ESX.

cool look forward to more of your sonic dabblings

best thing to do with any synth is basically wipe the contents of entire user area and start making your own sounds

thanks for the comments, this track is only one of three mixes, the other two i am working on.

may throw in some cheap Overdrive somewhere there too for more agressive-sounding 303 lines. anyhow, what pedals can do this? I'm asking because I honestly can't think of any product that suits my needs... so, suggestions? overdrive the gain input on your mixer for the bassline, you'll get the same...

this thread has gone off topic now...

however, the tuning knob freaks me a little. The bassline is way out of tune with the tune knob dead centered (where the marker points straight up), by about half an octave. this means I have to fine-tune to make it go with other synth-lines, and this turns out to be quite troublesome. thing is, wh...
