Hi,

While I was programming around with MD other day, I thought why not try to
recreate some old fart machines with it. I had some 808/909 samples on
harddrive and I thought give it a shot. I fount it very interesting trying
to get the sound extacly right. I think I have a better ear for drumsounds
after that. I nailed the BD's pretty good and 808 snare, but on some sounds
like 909 snare where much harder to program. Also something like cowbell,
was very difficult, I thought it would be easier. I know there must better
programmers there and I would like to see how you would approach the
challenge. Thats why I put up this challenge on net! 

Here are the rules:
Go to this page: http://www.pixelem.fi/muut/md/

You'll find the original wav files and the md wav files. You can also take
the tr-kit in sysex file. Some of them are good mimics and some bad. Your
job is to make better emulations. You can only use MD (isn't that clear?).
There are also some original wav's that I haven't done. Maybe you can do
better?

You can then send your attemps to create perfect emulation to me as small
wav. I'll put them up. Remember: also tr-kit, so everyone can have cool
tr-sounds if they want.

What do you say guys? Hit your MD on and let's make some cool programming!!

After I've got some stuff from you and I've put them up, we will decide
which are the best (don't know how yet...). Prize could be that everyone who
joined this, could send some cool kits to winner as sysex.

ps. by the way, I believe that these are original sounds have been
compressed quite a bit, but doesn't matter. We've got compressor on md. 

pps. I decided to make this 808/909 challenge just because everyone knows
those machines, right? I've got some other vintage drummachine sounds also,
which we could try later, if this is a good idea. By the way I'm not 808/909
fanatic, you can make a lot more interesting sounds on md, but it's easier
for the programming challenge.
