Sounds and Rhythms
The CR-78's built-in rhythm sounds were a further development of those available on the earlier Roland Rhythm 33, 55 and 77 machines.
The analog percussion voices consisted of bass drum, snare drum, rim shot, hi-hat, cymbal, maracas, claves, cowbell, high bongo, low bongo, low conga, tambourine, guiro, and "metal beat" (a ring modulated accent that could be overlaid on the hi-hat voice). The CR-78 had an accent control, which increased the loudness of certain steps in a pattern.
The rhythm patterns were Rock 1, Rock 2, Rock 3, Rock 4, Disco 1 and Disco 2 (all available in 'A' or 'B' variations); Waltz, Shuffle, Slow Rock, Swing, Foxtrot, Tango, Boogie, Enka, Bossa Nova, Samba, Mambo and Chacha, Beguine and Rhumba. It was possible to select more than one rhythm at a time, and also mute drum sounds from a pattern using the balance knob and dedicated cancel buttons.
