How do I customize the TR808 patch?

21 Jan 2008, 15:25

on the srx supreme dance expansion, i have the "All TR kits" patch and basically what i'm tryin to do is.....

take a certain 808 kick from that and make a patch that consists of only that kick throughout the keys in higher and lower pitches that are consistent w/ the keys of a piano......

anyone know how to do this?

It's much easier to do this in patch mode. Go to patch mode, press PATCH EDIT, initialize the patch ("Init"), now go to the "Wave" tab and set the waveform to that 808 kick. That's pretty much it.

awesome thanks i will try that out. so i can init a new patch and save without altering any preset patches?

i'm trying to do this w/ that 808 kick because i downloaded that 808 kit from this site (on the archives) but when i transfer the samples onto the fantom and import, it seems to mess up the samples by cutting them short and creating a popping sound at the end of them. its like it cuts the sample off abruptly

That's strange, I downloaded all of the early drum machine samples and I had a lot of success with them. I didn't load them into my fantom though. I'll try loading them and let you know what I come up with. How are the samples on the sup. dance card? I had no idea all the tr were on there. Why do you still need to download more?

just mainly for the 808 kicks i had downloaded that zip file available on this site.....it has several different versions of the 808kick including some w/ less of a "pop" sound on the beginning, meaning they knock like an 808 but are easier to use for bass w/out the pop-kick sound

enzo:

Do you mean the TR-808 emulation kit? This one doesn't use any samples, it's using the Fantom's synthesizer engine to emulate the 808'd sounds.

You first told:

just mainly for the 808 kicks i had downloaded that zip file available on this site

And then:

i guess so, its under my srx expansion and its called "all tr kits"

But these are not the same thing. Samples you imported and SRX kits are different sources, so I am puzzled about what you mean.

oh no i was sayin i had previously tried importing those 808 samples that i downloaded off here, but after importing it seemed to cut the samples short and add a popping/clipping sound to the end.......thats why i was wantin to make a patch w/ the srx 808 kick
