of course it is ok to ask.. :-)
it is related to my efforts in emulating the snare-part of the tr-808 snaredrum.
On the Roland TR-808, the snare drum was made of two resonating filters and a noise generator with high pass filtering. The "Tone" parameter controlled the output mix from the first and the second filters, while "Snappy" controlled the volume of the noise generator. The noise generator was routed through a separate envelope and a high pass filter.

i remember having once seen a very detailed description of how the 808 sounds were made. i dont have the bookmark anymore, but you know, google is your friend...
