BoomTssPhace Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 What sort of soundwave or whatever is used to make the 808 cowbell sound? Cause, I mean, it's all analogue. So how would I go about making, like, 808 booms or snaps by myself?

kcinsu Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 from what I've read, the 808 cowbell is variously tuned square waves. I'm sure you can find more info on google about specifics.

ten fingers ten toes Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 It has been rumored that the SoS article may not be 100% accurate with regards to it. I have come close to the cowbell sound using that technique on my Nord Modular but not authentic enough to fool anyone.
