I read:
i'd like to construct a 808- or jomox-like drum-synth in pd. so i'd like to know what every single sound is made of. if anybody is familiar with that and may have some diagrams or schemes of the dsp of such a machine like tr-808, i'm vey interested. maybe this is a secret, but asking doesn't cost :-)

I made some patches a while ago that sound similar, you probably might want to check out csound code by istvan varga -> http://csounds.com/istvan/html/drums.html for some inspiration. If you want my drum patches give me a shout and I'll try to dig them up from /backup/old/backup/old_laptop/copied/backup/stuff ;) (I think I had an excellent cowbell among other things, but then again it actually may sound just crap)
