Roland WS-1 Write Switch for the CR-78

"Here is a demonstration of the rare Roland WS-1 Write Switch, for the CR-78. I am currently selling this WS-1 on Ebay, so this video is to demonstrate the fact that it works...

Since there are no WS-1 videos on YouTube, I figure this will also serve as a general demo of how this rare unit works. Don't expect to be entertained! This might be confusing, so let me explain: Right button is Note-On, left is Rest -- Total of 32 notes in the pattern - You'll hear that as go through the channels, the sounds are added to what you hear - so first time around it's just Kick, then next round, you hear the Kick part as I'm adding the Snare part, etc - That is why you sometimes hear sounds when I press the Rest button. After the pattern is programmed I have to pull the WS-1 connections out of the back in order to hear the results."

Roland WS-1

Title link takes you to a couple more shots via this auction.

Details:
"This is the Roland WS-1, the extremely rare write switch for the CR-78 Compurhythm Drum Machine... The CR-78 is one of the best drum machines Roland ever made, but without the WS-1, it's just another beat box. With the WS-1, you have full control over the 4 yellow program buttons on your machine. It is possible to program the CR-78 using a footswitch in real time, you can't program it accurately in step time without this switch." Auction link sent my way via Omeganaut

ROLAND CR-78 Analogue Drum Machine SN 873155 with WS-1

via this auction

"The RC 78 was the first drum machine to allow users to program and store their own beats. Revolutionary in it's day, the RC 78 gives you a classic sound like no other. I used it with the tempo slowed right down for great trip-hop beats. This RC 78 with Roland WS-1 Pedal for programming are in great condition. Only missing slider ends on 'volume' and 'tambourine' sliders. The drum machine works perfectly. I haven't had time to figure out the WS-1, but I'm sure you will be able to."

Roland CR-78 drum machine & WS-1 (owned by GENESIS)

via this auction

"Vintage analog gear. used, as/is, no returns, no refunds, no exchanges. Roland CR-78 works great (yes, think Phil Collins 'In the Air Tonight').

Includes the almost extinct WS-1 write switch. This WS-1 was previously owned by GENESIS and I have the purchase certificate for proof.

The CR-78 was NOT owned by GENESIS, only the WS-1."

ROLAND CR-78 RHYTHM DRUM MACHINE

images via this auction

I never noticed the sliders on the SH-32 are similar until now.

Auction description via wikipedia:
"The Roland CompuRhythm CR-78 is a drum machine launched in 1978.
Although primitive by today's standards, the CR-78 represented an important advance in drum machine technology at the time. The wood effect cabinet and preset rhythms of the CR-78 such as Waltz, Bossa Nova and Rhumba suggest that it was seen by its designers as primarily an accompaniment for an electric organ, but the CR-78 became one of the favorite instruments of New Wave and electronic musicians in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Songs that make prominent use of the Roland CR-78 include Heart of Glass by Blondie and In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. [2]

The machine and its controls
The CR-78 used analog drum voices, which sounded very little like real percussion instruments, but they instead had their own distinctive sounds. The unit also incorporated an early Intel microprocessor to provide digital control of its functions.[3]

Previous Roland drum machines had offered only a selection of preset rhythms. The CR-78's key new feature was that in addition to offering 34 preset rhythms, it provided four programmable memory locations for storing patterns created by the user. These could be created by using step programming with the WS-1 box, which was available as an optional extra. [4]

Roland CR-78 CompuRythm Programmer WS-1 Sync

via this auction

"A few years back I sold my WS-1 and started looking for an alternative to program my Roland CR-78. A guy in Czechoslovakia designed such a thing, and here it is. I bought one, and successfully used it to sync up and program my CR-78. I ended up finding another WS-1 later on, so this has been sitting in a box unused."

Roland CR-78 Drum Machine

YouTube Uploaded by wavygraves on Jul 15, 2011

"Demoing my Roland CR 78.

Mostly playing around with rhythm selections (incl. A/B variations), voice cancel, tempo, automatic fills, automatic fading, etc."

via this auction

"The Roland CR-78 CompuRhythm, a classic analog Rhythm Machine and the first to use a microprocessor to allow programming of own patterns. It has 34 built in preset rhythm patterns and offers 14 drum tones. The CR-78 allows to combine 2 rhythms. Also you can cancel bassdrum, snare, cymbal, cowbell / claves. A little mixer allows adding guiro, cymbal and metal beat. With 11 variation effects and the ability to adjust tempo, accents and fade in/outs, the CR-78 is still capable of producing a wide variety of rhythms.

The Roland WS-1 programmer was designed to program the CR-78, but you can also use a Korg MS-20 or even a simple footswitch. You can program 2 bar patterns one voice at a time and up to 4 voices can be simultaneously played. Each of the four voices can be independently muted from the front-panel. Patterns can also be set to fade-in/out. The CR-78 has external trigger using 24ppq V-Trig clock pulse.

You don’t need a TS-1 write switch to program the CR-78. Any CV converter will do as long as it has a clock out. Instructions for programming are found here: http://www.submodern.com/slowburn/?p=608 (he uses a Korg ER-1 but its much easier using a computer)."
