philip: roland tb303 was manufactured to be a bassplayer for musicians who wanted bass accompaniment, but ended up in dance use instead. started out as a real bassline in classic work from people in chicago like larry heard; artists who realized that random stuff could happen when you took out the batteries and then put them back in (to put it simply) frigged with it and came up with "acid". phuture, etc. 606 was designed to go with the 303. hear early acid and the perc is the 606 you're hearing. it's very raw and doesn't have separate outputs for the sounds. 727 is the latin one. think jeff mills. 808 has classic sounds like the cowbell that everyone uses. 909 is the "harsher" older brother more in use today in house and techno. hope this helps and makes sense :) andrew Philip Sherburne wrote: > Rodney Perkins wrote: > > Do even 90% of the people > > who would ever buy a CD/LP/MD of ANY sort of music even know what a TR-808 > > or an RB-303 is? > > And I'll fess up: for a while now I've been trying to figure out just > how to differentiate the sound of the 303, 808, and whatever other > similar machines are out there. > > Can anyone give a succinct rundown (and if possible, a > history/"discography" of such machines?
