SYNTHESIZED DRUM SOUNDS
The 808 (Pads Q,W,E,R) - The "808" is a low frequency since wave sound most known for it's use in Hip Hop. The "boom boom" sound is named after the Roland 808 digital sampling machine which came pre-programmed with this now iconic sound.
Electronic Sweep (Pad 4) - These sounds are synthesized meaning they are electronic waves (sine, sawtooth, triangle, etc). Synthesizers like the Moog allowed musicians to create new creative sounds by mixing and manipulating sound waves.
