TR 808 Professional Drum Sounds

These samples were taken DIRECTLY from a Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer. They are NOT samples of samples i.e. sampled from a recent drum machine, such as the Boss DR-660, Roland R-8, R-8MkII, etc... In other words, these samples were taken from a REAL TR-808. All samples were recorded from the individual sound outputs I did NOT use the "HI" or "LO" "LEVEL" "MASTER OUT"puts!. While being recorded, each sound on the TR-808 was at highest volume level with all other volume levels set to the lowest possible setting, and the master volume on the TR-808 was always at the lowest setting. All samples were made using SoundEdit 16 1.0.0 on a Macintosh Quadra 660AV.
