That could certainly explain it, as well as the existence of the TR-606 = way into 1985 targeted to =E2=80=9Cbudget conscious musician=E2=80=9D. = You=E2=80=99re right studios moved on to digital by then, but we still = hear the TR-808 in famous mainstream productions as late as 1987 = (Whitney Houston - Dance With Somebody). So did the TR-808 ever go out = of style? I=E2=80=99m not really sure about that, certainly not in R&B = and underground hiphop/electro. It was probably a bit of a mess to fit = in a full midi studio though.
