I've seen em creep up to the 2000 euro mark recent years.... but this is a lot.... I've got one sitting here for old age pension ... And it's nice to use in the meanwhile...
I've just been trying to make a 808 set with the real 808 running side by side to the LXR...
I can't seem to get the cowbell right... The LXR cowbell seems to sound more real then the synthy poing from the 808... and claps is very difficult too....
There is no accent track hidden in the LXR is there?
for the cheesy 808 cowbell, try to use one of the drum voices in mix mode. use 2 square waves, detuned (can't remeber the exact tuning, it's in the 808 service manual) and use the BP filter.
Loderbast is right about the 'vol' parameter (next to the note parameter in the step options) you can also route the volume to any sound parameter additionally to volume.
hmmm, should probably be velocity instead of volume..
Yes but the VOL parameter is per step per instrument right? The accent feature on the old roland x0x drum boxes is for all the instruments at once... it's crude but it works.
The accent track makes it very easy to give a coherent groove to a whole rhythm... And it's this very particular groove is what's so typical about 808 707 606 etc...

besides the ease of use when you want to have all tracks to have the same accents?
