The history of the CR-78
Although primitive by today’s standards, the CR-78 was a great step forward in drum machine technology at that time, especially because users could program and store their own drum rhythms. The fact that the box came in three with pre-set rhythms like Waltz, Bossa Nova and Rhumba indicates that drum machine was supposed to be an accompanist to an electric organ, but the CR-78 quickly became a favorite of pop and electronic musicians in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
