1981 Elektro
My intention here was to create a style that sounds like an analog
drum machine programmed for early synth-pop tunes. It's not an 808
or a 909 but a totally new "box" with retro and electronic sounds. LW
* Vintage FR-3
Original rhythms from a very old drum machine. Slow Rock x 3 ("home"
tempo: 80 BPM). Samba x 4 (110). Rhumba x 3 (130). Beguine x 4
(130). Mambo x 4 (140). Bossanova x 3 (145). Rock'n Roll x 4 (160).
There were no fills in this machine, so we've created some for you.
Same goes for Sidestick and Half Tempo Feel. This baby didn't even
have a cymbal! The sound differs somewhat from the real thing, in that
the original machine sounds a bit different each time it is played! MS
* Vintage TR-7
A slightly newer analogue box. Slow Rock and Ballad x 2 ("home"
tempo: 80 BPM). Western (90). Samba 1 + 2 (110). Rhumba x 2, Be-
guine x 2, Cha-Cha x 2, Mambo x 2, Baion x 2, Tango and 6/8 March
(130). Bossa Nova x 3 and Bolero (145). Rock'n Roll 1 x 2 and Rock'n
Roll 2 (155). MS
*Vintage CR-8
An almost modern drum machine because you could program it, but
still analogue sounding. Habanera ("home" tempo: 70 BPM). S. Rock
(80). Samba 1 + 2 and Merengue (110). Mambo, ChaCha, Tango,
Beguine, Enka and Rock 1-6 (120). Then comes a combination of
Rock 1/Rock 4 (120). Disco and Swing 1 + 2 (120). Rhumba and
Rhumba/ChaCha combination (130). BossaNova and BossaNova/
Mambo combination (145). Foxtrot (160). Combining two rhythms is a
cool trick! MS
