So hold on, am I understanding this thread correctly? Are you folks saying that it's possible to write your own samples onto a new chip and install the new chip in the tr-626 drum machine?
Wow, I didn't know that was possible!
I have a tr-505 which I think is similar to the 626, do you think it'd be possible to replace the drums in it with my own custom samples?
It's cirtainly beyond my abilities right now, but if anyone could point me in the direction of a simple tutorial then I'd love to give this a try. Am I correct in thinking that it's possible to add new chips/drums to the machine without destroying the original drums? .....Just using a switch to select between chips?
I suppose that the circuit-bends would function in the same way with new chips, right?
That is very cool indeed.
