Roland SN-R8-06 Ethnic Percussion card Wave File Samples

The Roland SN-R8-06 Ethnic Percussion card is a vintage PCM sound expansion ROM card released in the early 1990s for the Roland R-8 series drum machines, including the original R-8, the R-8M rack module, and the R-8 MkII. It expands the system's factory library by introducing 26 high-quality traditional and orchestral percussion voices spanning Asian, Middle Eastern, African, and Latin American origins. If you own a Roland R-8 MkII, all 26 of these sounds are already pre-loaded into the machine's internal memory, meaning the physical card is primarily useful for original R-8 and R-8M owners.

The card contains exactly 26 distinct instrument sounds: Tabla Na, Tabla Tun, Tabla Te, Baya Ge, Khole Na, Madal Ohin, Rama Cymbal, Darbuka Tik, Darbuka Oum, Bendir, Req Tik, Req Oum, Djembe Center, Djembe Rim, Talking Drum, Talking Drum Bend Up, Caxixi, Thai Gong, Tsuzumi High, Tsuzumi Low, Ohkawa, Matsuridaiko, Matsuridaiko Rim, Shimedaiko, Atarigane, and Hyoushigi.

When used with the R-8 hardware, these 16-bit PCM samples can be completely manipulated using Roland's advanced performance parameter controls. You can freely edit the pitch, decay, nuance, and velocity settings to make the acoustic instruments sound realistic or morph them into unique electronic textures. It is fully compatible with the 1-slot original Roland R-8 drum machine and the 3-slot Roland R-8M rack unit.Because these cards are long discontinued, they are highly sought-after vintage collector's items. You can typically find them on the secondhand market through specialized gear platforms. Depending on the condition and if the original plastic jewel case is included, used prices typically range between $45 CAD to $100+ CAD.
