Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer Samples

Original release details:

Roland TR-808 sample set

This sample set was originally created in 1994 by Michael Fischer.

One version of the sample set, in AIFF format, was kept at the oak.oakland.edu site, which has shut down, the sample set apparently lost. Another version of the sample set, in WAV format, was retrieved from ftp.cica.indiana.edu (or its mirror at archive.orst.edu) and brought to the music machines web site (http://www.hyperreal.com/machines/) and placed in http://www.hyperreal.com/machines/manufacturers/Roland/TR-808/samples/

Because the sample set is so large, I've broken it up (without Michael's permission at this time) into separate files, by 808 instrument.

These are:

808-BD.zip bass drum 808-CB.zip cowbell 808-CH.zip close hi-hat 808-CL.zip claves

808-CP.zip clap 808-CY.zip cymbal 808-HC.zip hi conga 808-HT.zip hi tom 808-LC.zip lo conga 808-LT.zip lo tom

808-MA.zip maracas 808-MC.zip mid conga 808-MT.zip mid tom 808-OH.zip open hi-hat 808-RS.zip rim shot 808-SD.zip snare drum

The files expand into separate directories with the WAV files in them.

The full file will stick around at least for a while as: TR808all.zip

A copy of the AIFF set would be appreciated
