Measurements Frac rack modules are 5.25″ high, with widths in multiples of 1.5″. Per instructions on the Blacet website, mounting holes are 1/8″ wide, 0.75″ inches from the left and right […]

Roland CR-8000 Voice Mods by Gumi

Here’s a list of all the voice mods I made to my CR-8000, complete with PCB locations, replacement component values, and a few notes to boot. There are a lot more possibilities than I’ve listed here, but these are the ones I ended up wiring. You might want to experiment with different pot and resistor […]

Roland CR-8000: Someone Else’s Mods

Someone Else’s Mods: My experience with this company was disappointing. Twice I asked to buy the documentation on their CR-8000 mods and twice they curtly refused, insisting I pay for the entire kit or installation service. Eventually I was able to reverse engineer their mods, but in the end, I wasn’t that impressed. Many of […]

Download the Kawai R-100 Service Manual: It’s certainly not as detailed as some service notes, but it’s enough to get you started. You might want to take a peek at the schematic before doing any mods to U24 (the voice ROM IC). Note that there appear to be some discrepancies between the component numbers shown […]

Download the CR-8000 Service Manual: This might be the most useful service manual I’ve come across, and the precise labeling of key locations on the voice generator board made the work a breeze. Roland really used to have their shit together. Download the CR-8000 Owner’s Manual Download the CR-8000 Voice Board Schematic: Here’s a “corrected” […]


Roland CR-8000 Bass Drum Decay Mod

Roland CR-8000 Bass Drum Decay Mod

Below is my modification of the original CR-8000 bass drum circuit (in blue). Those familiar with the TR-606 mods will notice the similarity to Geoff Waterson’s TR-606 BD Decay Mod. You can experiment with the component values (especially the .047uF cap and 33k resistor) to get different results. I selected a 33k resistor because it […]
