Drum Sounds
The Rhythm 33's drum voices are listed below. The sounds are generated by analogue synthesis techniques, and, as is typical with this technology, the sounds themselves, although possessing a certain musical charm, are not particularly realistic imitations of their acoustic namesakes.
The following voices are generated by "tuned resonance" type circuits:
- bass drum
- low conga
- high conga
- cow bell
- rim shot
- claves
The following voices are generated by shaped white noise:
- snare drum
- hi hat
- maracas
- cymbal
The only control on the front panel for adjusting the sounds is a balance control, which alters the relative levels of the bass drum and the cymbal/hi hat/maracas sounds.

Famous quotes containing the words drum and/or sounds:
“If all would lead their lives in love like me,
Then bloody swords and armor should not be;
No drum nor trumpet peaceful sleeps should move,
Unless alarm came from the camp of love.”
—Thomas Campion (1567–1620)
“From troublous sights and sounds set free;
In such a twilight hour of breath,
Shall one retrace his life or see,
Through shadows, the true face of death?”
—Ernest Christopher Dowson (1867–1900)
