TR-808 main drums with sequencer

hoshigoshi

hello,

this is my attempt to recreate the tr-808 on the g2. atm i`ve finished the main drum sounds with controls and a stepsequenzer. still missing is the percussion section and especially the rimshot and cowbell. i am having some problems with creating the rimshot, does anyone have an idea how to?

If you like to, you`re invited to complete this patch with me...

thanks to sheridan for sharing his claps patch! Smile

edit: oops, sorry!! wrong attachment - have updated it yet!

I was waiting for that!!!
I LOVE the snappy snare drum, one of the best I've heard IMO
Thanks a LOT.

first attempt recreating the 808 cowbell using SOS tips http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/sep02/articles/synthsecrets09.asp
I've add a lfo on the filter res trying to recreate the subtile vibrato of the 808 cow

Thanks!!!. Nice Cowbell! I will check the tunings later with my Original 808, think it´s slightly different.
ATM i am getting crazy to find out the rimshot synthesizing. it`s really hard for me Smile

Hey.

Not sure if you're interested, but I emulated some reasonable 808 cowbell and rimshot in variations 3 and 4 of the PercussionMachine patch found here: http://electro-music.com/forum/topic-7037.html

If you want the exact sound, you're most welcome to use that as a starting point. Very Happy

the cowbell on the 808 uses 2 of the 6 cymbal oscilators..there is no lfo involved just the tuning difference of the 2 oscs is causing the vibrating fx...

both oscillators can be tuned inside the 808..therefore there all 808 have different cowbell sounds

Okay, here`s an update. This time with Rimshot and Cowbell. All that is missing now is Claves, Toms and congas, which i will do in another patch. Should work with an expanded Nord G2. Have fun! Cool

Very glad you like it - Thanks a lot for your warm words, gomidas!! Smile

Regarding the 707, i guess it´s a lot more difficult to recreate, because the original machine is based on samples, not oscillators.

BTW i like your 808 snare, sounds great with varying velocity

sorry i can´t help with tr-606. i built the tr-808 patch in comparison to a real tr-808 and i can´t compare with a 606, coz i don´t have one Very Happy

impressive sounds top notch!

only one thing im not able to playback "tr_606_sd_beta_126.pch2" and "tr_808_snare_301.pch2"

the note module is on D2 but the specified note wont trigger.
