Roland TR-8S tossing cheeze balls

Roland in all their wisdom dedicated a surprising amount of the onboard  sample ROM of the TR-8S  to a wide variety of oddball and cheesy samples.  I expect some are left over general MIDI samples but others are inexplicable.  I started out wanting to make a "hey" based barbershop quartet but ended up with whatever nonsense this is.   


The number of melodic samples in a machine that does not support chromatic playing is strange for sure.  I would definitely have preferred more sample RAM for custom samples in lieu of the looping jackhammers and vocoded "a"s but I'm sure someone out there will find use for them.  Trap horn 2 FTW!
