I was watching an interview recently with Nile Rogers and he brought up a point that the TR-808 was originally designed as a machine to help musicians practice along to a percussion track easily - that fact actually makes sense in the context that Roland set out to make the drum machine fully programmable and the first of its kind.

I dont even know how I came across your channel in the first place but man I really love to watch your videos. Not only do they match my interests very well and steady. The length of your "history of.." videos is perfect, not too long and comprehensive but done with solid amount of research that is just on-point. Last not least your narration is great, I really like your voice and how you use it 🙂

Oh and I think the microKORG could be a nice topic. I owned one years ago but wasnt to happy with that somehow weird patch matrix navigation. but the sound is crazy and theres a reason why this little synth is used and loved so widely until today

Your answer is probably algorithm

Your channel is underrated asf

i'd love to see a video on the Roland SC-88

@tukoijarrett9155 Год назад

The only thing bad I can say about this video is that you said analog sounds cant be replicated well with digital methods. These days it's quite easy to do well enough that you cant tell the difference. In fact, Roland themselves do exactly that with many of their modern drum machines.

I wouldn’t say “entire” history but nice upload!

@awgeally Год назад

A video about novation x-station or novation in general

I love this video! With that being said, I think your hip-hop history is slightly off: Pre 808s and Heartbreaks, the Southern Renaissance (front around 1997-2007) facilitated by the OutKast, UGK, was Three 6 Mafia, and the likes was fueled by the 808 and how it sounded with an amplifier through a subwoofer. Every major Big K.R.I.T project has a love letter to his subwoofers and 808s.

@nottelling8129 Год назад

I’m here because of that Cat from Hi-Fi Rush that’s named after this thing.

@SPAZZOID100 24 дня назад

Also, you constantly referred to the TR-808 as “Roland 808”.

@artemusprine 2 месяца назад

Marvin Gaye's "Shwalzuwal Healing"? Don't recall that one.

@afunnylookingsquash 2 месяца назад

I can’t say sexual otherwise the video will get flagged and age restricted so I put a filter over the word

@artemusprine 2 месяца назад

@@afunnylookingsquash Didn't realize it was that strict. I thought I knew why you did it, wasn't 100% sure it was for that reason. But we're all shwalzuwal creatures. Without shwocks we wouldn't even be here.

@jbondarts 9 месяцев назад

No mention of the 303?

@HazeAnderson 3 месяца назад

TB-303 had nothing to do with the TR-808s notoriety.

@johnpaulpatton9786 Год назад

Why did you edit yourself saying the word "sexual"?

@afunnylookingsquash Год назад

Because RU-vid checks for profanity or potentially non advertiser friendly words and you can get demonetized for it

@SPAZZOID100 24 дня назад

Kool video, but no new info.

@guntheriscariot3064 5 месяцев назад

a few fallacies and misinformations there....

@tawmifm 18 дней назад

Are you going to point them out? Or just say shit?

@tawmifm 18 дней назад

Okay I did just get to the part that implied Kanye invented the 808 bassline >>

@guntheriscariot3064 17 дней назад

@@tawmifm the 808 is not the first programmable drum machine (the Italian company EKO did that years before, and created the ubiquitous 16 steps interface in the process). It's not even ROLAND's first programmable drum machine (the cr78 was). Also, the first linn drum machine was out a few months before, and cleaned the floor... Analogue sounds were yesterday's flavour, and the 808 was doomed at birth, hence didn't revolutionise the world when it came out as implied here. Yes, Planet Rock changed that, and Rick Rubin indeed. But that was after Roland discontinued it...
