I recently got a CR-8000, and it is absolutely lovely. Along with other machines I have or love like the TR-77, CR-78, etc. it's insanely well-designed with the auto-fill functionality, crash cymbal reserve, etc. What did the manufacturers really think these were being used for? What were they designed FOR? Outside of Sly Stone and some more niche artists, you really didn't hear these things in recorded music. Did Roland et. al. think that these were being sold purely for practice? For recordings? For electronic music? For traditional music? For cocktail acts?
