This was a design exercise. I'm experimenting with digitally-controlled analog circuitry + simple digital pattern generators.
There is a minimal digital sequencer onboard, controlling eight analog switches that activate "bends" to alter the pitch, filter, accent, and envelope.
The 808 cowbell is a cheezy sound, but its design is interesting to study because Roland engineers were masters of minimal analog synth design. They rolled this one up tight! ... with just 2 simple chips (MC14584 & TL072) and 4 transistors, the 808 cowbell contains two square wave oscillators, two VCAs, a triggered envelope generator, bandpass filter, and buffer amp. Nice one Roland... too bad it doesnt sound like a cowbell.

Wie sich herrausstellt muß sich die MPC 60 II beim Thema "Groove" und "Timing" nicht hinter ihren Nachfolgern verstecken." "The meanwhile came in the years MPC 60 II has been extensively tested MusoTalk Studio. How herrausstellt must MPC 60 II with the theme of "Groove" and "timing" does not hide behind their successors."
