Hi all at this still fantastic forum,

I'm looking for the CR-78 drum pattern of Blondie's or Miley Cirus' "Heart of Glass".
Has anybody programmed it as a drum pattern on Kronos and would share it?
Or does anybody use a wav-loop when performing the song an would share it?
How do you perform the song?

Thanks a lot
Frank

Hi Frank, here are a couple of options. On the Wikipedia page for the song, there is a sample of the drum loop that you can download as an mp3 or ogg file:

Also, a site called Boxed Ear offers a free sample pack of CR-78 sounds and loops. The format is RX2, which can be converted to a WAV file with the proper conversion software, or the RX2 can be imported into Ableton:

Sounds From Mars is another resource for CR-78 wavs and loops, and their sample pack only costs $1 to download:

I believe it's a Bossa Nova beat, with an added wood block pattern for the song.

Hope this helps!

I was looking for the same thing. Curious, question for you OP, did you recently see a KitTok video featuring the beat sequence of this song?

Thanks a lot, 1002,

I will first try the loop and try to integrate it in a programm via slice and drum pattern.
I hope it will be succesfull.

By the way, the other sounds I use are the ones from Purgatory Creek Soundware (Thanks a lot for sharing!).
