Roland CompuRhythm CR-78 Demo



Uploaded by: mrduckbutt
Video Description:
Brief demo of some of the features on the Roland CR-78 drum machine. Mostly playing around with rhythm selections (incl. A/B variations), voice cancel, tempo, automatic fills, automatic fading, etc. And of course no CR-78 demo would be complete without playing "In the Air Tonight" and some Hall
Oates ("Kiss On My List"). The former uses the "Disco-2" rhythm with snare cancelled out; the latter uses "Rock-1" with automatic fill 7.
On a side note, I haven't found any permutation of rhythms to give the exact bass drum pattern on "In the Air Tonight". Maybe this is how Phil did it as well, but I just used the programming interface to make a custom rhythm with this bass drum pattern. Then I load this at the same time as "Disc
o-2" (these are the two yellow buttons pressed in the demo).

I have one too but while the exterior is in pristine condition, I had to take out the internal battery which keeps the self-programmed rhythms in memory. It had started to leak and left a big mess on the mainboard :( I hope to find a terrible looking but good working model which sells for a reasonable price and combine the 2.

Phil Collins loved his, I think. He used it a lot on his solo stuff, as well with Genesis. You can see him actively programming one on the DVD that came with the reissued Genesis album Duke. There is some live concert footage of the song Duchess, where he is actively manipulating the unit for the drum machine solo at the beginning of the song. It may be out here on youtube somewhere. Check it out.

Can you use a sustain pedal to program it in place of a ws-1 or a footswitch? Just curious

This rhythm box is amazing! It has such a great punch to the sounds. It was first designed for organists but contemporary artists of the time picked it up. It appears on The Buggles recording of "I Am a Camera" as and in many early New Wave tracks. I think Brian Eno used one as well.

"programmed" beats ... ( 4 months ago by humphreyorama)
"programmed" beats and "preset" beats are a bit different in this case, my friend. the author of the video says in the description that there is no preset he could find that created the kick rhythm used in the song. so much for that echo, eh? on another note, search youtube for "in the kraftwerk tonight" for an extra little treat.

Para: I think the real issue is the loss of "heart" in instruments. There aren't any Bob Moogs around anymore.. Thank God for Dave Smith though... And things are easier than ever.. there's no "finding out" process in keys or anything for that matter anymore.. Well..okay that's a generalization. I'm NEVER giving up my Korg microKORG! :D
With the exception ... ( 3 months ago by mrduckbutt)
With the exception of a few extra bass drum kicks in the second half of the pattern, 'In the Air' tonight is just a preset disco rhythm. It repeats after four beats though (compared to Phil's eight beats), so there's not really a way to get those extra bass drum kicks without manually programming them. I am curious why he would bother with this though - maybe four beats sounded a bit too repetitive?
