The machine had 14 tape loops with a sliding control that allowed playback of different tracks on each piece of tape that could be combined to create many variations. Roland CompuRhythm CR-78 The CR-78 is a classic analog rhythm machine - and was the first to use a microprocessor. The 34 built-in patterns could be altered at the push of a button, providing the user significantly more creative control. As for the drum sounds, the CR-78 offers 14 very electronic, yet analog drum tones. Sounds include Kick, Snare, Rim, Cow Bell, Hi-Hats, Cymbals, Congas, Bongos, Tambourine and Guiros. With 11 variation effects and the ability to adjust tempo, accents, and fade in/outs, the CR-78 is still capable of producing exquisite rhythms for use in ambient, hip hop and many other forms of music. One of the best-known uses of the CR-78 can be heard in Phil Collins' 1981 hit, "In the Air Tonight". *Warranty details can be found at musictribe.com. 2 of 10
