Roland CR-8000 MODIFIED

via this auction
"The three knobs on the top panel are tonal modifications I have added. These include a tune offset control for the Cowbell, a Snare SNAPPY control, and a Clap DECAY. The Snare can be made into a TR 808 snare with this modification or closed off and removed of the noise source which isolates the tone component of the snare (very very cool for tonal melodic sequences when used in conjunction with the cowbell and the congas!). Finally, the Clap decay can turn the CR 8000 clap into everything from a hyper-compressed 909 sounding clap to a non-stop wall of Clap NOISE! This mod is excellent and the three controls add a whole new dimension to the CR 8000.

What's really cool about the CR is the fact that you can PROGRAM your own patterns and fills and use it's wonderful sequencer to regulate how often the fill occurs automatically. Because the unit has Din Sync, you can externally clock it to all modern day MIDI to Din Sync converters and have it running in time with your favorite software or MIDI hardware! Just like the TR 808 there is something really magical about the timing of the CR 8000 sequencer (I know I have an 808). And the fact that you can at any time trigger a fill to occur, or add SHUFFLE with the press of a button will open your rhythms up to a new dimension. Tonally, the CR 8000 sits between a TR 606 and a TR 808 and because of the MODS I've added, leans more on the 808 side."
