30 file(s)
If a file is missing or is not of this length, please ask the person
you got it from to erase the archive and get the correct version from one of
the official distribution points (see end of file).
All the patches that start with 808 are sampled from a Roland TR-808
or from a Boss DR-660 (samples of 808) and represent:
808CBELL.PAT is a cow bell sound. It is used for example on Yellow
Magic Orchestra's Hi tech/No crime. COWBELL.PAT is a full range version. You
will find that the lower octaves sounds like SolidBass preset from Yamaha FM
synths (DX-7, DX-21 as used by Technotronics).
808CLAP.PAT is a hand clap. 808CLAP2.PAT has a shorter release, and
808CLAPS.PAT is a memory saving version.
808CLAVE.PAT is a clave perc. The other 808CLAV?.PAT are shorter
versions, again for memory considerations.
808CONG.PAT is a low conga. 808CONGM.PAT is mid conga and 808CONH.PAT
is high conga. Similar to congas in "In the air tonight" (Phil Collins).
808CYMB.PAT is a crash cymbal. It is fairly big because of the release.
808HH.PAT and 808HH2.PAT are closed hihats. 808HO.PAT is open hihat.
808KICK*.PAT are various kick drums. A melodic version is MELOKICK.PAT.
808MARA*.PAT are maracas. For better maracas, check 727DRUMS.ARJ.
808RIM*.PAT are snare rim shots.
808SD*.PAT are 4 snare drums.
808TOMHI.PAT is a high tom and 808TOMLO.PAT is a low tom (a la Jan
Hammer). These are not totally like the original because of the envelopped
release instead of a sampled release.
All 808*.PAT should go in the perc section of ultrasnd.ini or default.
cfg while COWBELL.PAT and MELOKICK.PAT should go in the melodic section.
What's next
===========
More percussive instruments (steel drums, 909, 727) are beeing made now
(July 7th 1993), and they will be released sometime in the future.
In parallel i'll be doing a REAL patch serie (real instruments) and an
ANASYN patch serie (analog synths).

The future
