Roland | CR-80

Description

The Roland CR-80 Human Rhythm Player is a 16-bit pre-programmed rhythm machine offering a vast variety of rhythmic patterns, with a characteristically human feel. It has a total of 69 in-built sounds, in 36 available styles. Each style has 4 variations, which meant a total of 144 patterns were possible. Featuring 12-note polyphony, MIDI In and Out, as well as individual volume faders for each drum sound, the machine also introduced a Feel fader. This fader varied the quantization to make the rhythm sound more or less-human.

Velocity As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. Aftertouch Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel.
Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise.
