I still think Hydrogen beats all others with its capabillities (The windows version doesn't really work on my pooter, th...

Hiya Brace! The pounding minimalist sounds of the Doktor and Craig's thundering bass lines are what got me into the Sisters back in '81.

Herr Doktor - TR808 Emulator

Hi folks, Came across this website which lets you emulate the good old Doktor in his '83-'84 years as a TR808/909. http://www.hobnox.com/index.1056.de.html Has anybody ever come across, acquired or worked out the programming parameters to get those authentic early rhythms? I've just about got Louie ...

The conversation ended when I asked if he'd sell me the backdrop they had on stage... [the one you can see behind him in the Agent Orange pic in the imagebank] What happened, did he get abrupt or what?
