Demo | Roland R-8M & every SN-R8 ROM card across ONE pattern

UPDATE: (5/31/20) Further down the rabbit hole I discovered that the R-8 does NOT have 32 note polyphony: it has 12 note maximum polyphony just like the R-8M, R-5, R-8mkII. The R-8 manual incorrectly lists the polyphony as 32, as does the PDF of the R-8 manual.

Just a simple demonstration of the stock R-8M sounds and all the SN-R8 card sounds across one four bar pattern. See how just changing the percussion instruments alter the vibe of the pattern.

Your comments help me know what kind of videos you want to see in the future.
