..an you know, chase, if you look for it, you'll find the 909 samples on the web ripped from the rom.. you'll never have to f**k with 909 hat samples again..

geez guys, i wanted to see where the whole '707 sounds like an 808' thing was leading

Except the toms are also synthesized... I know, being nitpicky is considered rude

Ive owned 2 different TR-808s in my life. Both times I would buy it, be inlove with it, use it on EVERYTHING, then get tired of it realize its HUGE and a pain to sync up with my PC(though the sync box availble by the guy on ebay is great for 70 bucks..)

2 things I notice about the 808, my 2 examples sounded QUITE different. The first 808 I had had a very weak kick decay, I did the mod found on hyperreal to extend the decay to the point of self oscillation which was actually pretty cool. The 2nd 808 had cymbal issues and the decay would vary greatly. I ended up replacing the grid switches, and ebaying it off after sampling it. I dont really miss it, Lil John kinda ruined the 808 for everyone...

well, One of the reasons (aside from problems making analog drums sound "real") with the 808 is that they used 10% tolerance parts, so potentially if you get the right combination of parts that are over/under their specified values, you could seriously alter the intended sound.

In the 909, they tightened up the tolerances and designed the circuits to achieve a more consistent sound from example to example.

Well the 808 used 24 ppqn resolution, so the sync can olnly get soo accurate. the manufacturer of the sync box also said that many apps dont out put a stable enough midi clock to run the 808 accurrately. He actually recommended sonar, and I think DP. He didnt like Cubases midi out(but I bought the sync box in the days of VST 5 and sonar 1, so things may or may not have changed.)

???

The 707 is known for sounding a bit like the 909; The 606 is known for sounding a bit like the 808.

You say 909 and I say 808
Let's call the whole thing off!

Actually, it probably does lean more 909 'cause it's a lot drier/punchier while the 808's analog sound is a lot woobish (to coin a word), expecially on the kick.

But the 707 was/is still for the poor man, not the rich man.

Like I said, I got it just for its control features. Heck of a lot cheaper than getting a MIDI-CV controller with DIN sync.

it's either something to do with wave theory, or an old Yamaha sequencer. Or something else.

so? I say yes!

And it's a sequencer, not a synth.

Or wave theory.

Or something.
