It was a preset machine with ChaCha, Tango, Waltz, you name 'em. It was a machine for music musicians The 808 was directed to the technical interested musician. And the technical musician was completely into digital back then. (I remember well how I heard a Linndrum the firsttime, and immediately thought: I have to sell my 808 and get this wonder machine - thanks to heaven, that I did not do it ;-) )
