Kong 808 Refill for Reason 5 / Record 1.5 Preview


First and foremost, this is an attempt to create a usable Roland TR-808
sample set for the Kong Drum Designer in Propellerhead Software
Reason 5 / Record 1.5. From there, it's become a sound design experiment
to see how the original sounds can be manipulated using the various effects
in the Kong Drum Designer device. This is a preview of some of the patch
sets for the refill.

The sampling of the TR-808 is fairly extensive with over 500 individual
samples. 250 variations of the dry tones and their corresponding accent
tones. Multiple samples of Hand Clap and Hi Hats reveal the analog nature
of the 808 as no two samples of the same tone are identical.

Some tones are processed through some hardware and DSP to create special
effect palettes, but the source of all the sounds is based on the 808 hardware.

More information will be posted shortly on my website:
