Free Roland TR-808 samples

Here are some free TR-808 WAV files for you to download (16 bit 44 kHz). Most have been normalized in Cool Edit (the Windows WAV editor). They can be imported into an SBK file and loaded onto a Soundblaster AWE32. They can then be used as a midi-instrument in a sequencer. My fellow Ensoniq EPS and ASR-10 users may use a program called AWAVE to convert these WAV files to Ensoniq formatted files. AWAVE is a program that can convert any file format to almost anything. Thus it may also work if you have a different sampler or synthesizer (so look out for that).

All of these files have all been zipped and require WINZIP or PKZIP to extract the WAV files. Any files that are greater than 1Mb will be broken down into parts. When clicking on the download button, you will be taken to a special download corner where you could download the files part by part. The reason for this is that we are only limited to upload up to 500Kb per file. Also, it is a great convenience as well for those who are saving these files on standard 3.5 floppy disks where storage space is limited.
