Roland CompuRhythm CR8000 :: Video

Please visit the updated Roland CR-8000 pages at the new GumiElectronic site.


This is part two featuring the hi hat, cymbal, clave, conga, and tom mods. Again I forgot to twist a couple of knobs: hi hat and cymbal high pass filters (they're not that great), clave boost (I used the trigger pulsewidth knob instead), and high conga tune (behaves the same as the low & mid congas, just pitched higher).


This is part one featuring the bass drum, snare drum, rim shot, and hand clap mods. I tried to demo all the individual voice mods here but ended up forgetting snare decay, rim tune via cymbal oscillators 5 & 6, and system noise.


This was early in the modification process when I was testing the Elby MIDI2SDS(X) MIDI to trigger modules. The CR is being sequenced by a 1 bar MIDI loop in Live. I also tweaked the 'noise' and 'offset' VRs on the voice board a bit. Definitely needs more cowbell...


Several days of work on the CR8000 in a cold shop. My pipes froze that week. But with the price of micro-miniature SPST switches these days, who can afford to heat the house?
