Description | Sitting somewhere in between the CR-68 and CR-78, the Roland CR-800 was the rarest of the range. It featured the same sounds and rhythms as the other CR machines, with the addition of a floor speaker cabinet. Although it was not programmable like the CR-78 is, it offered a greater amount of variations than the CR-68. The built-in sounds were a development on the sounds of the earlier Roland TR machines. |

As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. |
Aftertouch |
Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel. |
