Hello guys,

I try to recreate the decay/snappy and the tuning/tone effects of the famous drummachine Roland TR-808 in FMOD but after checking all parameters of the EQ and Reberb Effect Panel I can’t find the right parameters.  
If you don’t know these effects you could check it directly on the following website after adding the machine: [https://www.audiotool.com](https://www.audiotool.com)

Maybe someone here has a good idea and could help me?

You might have to mix a few effects, but I would recommend the new Parameteric EQ effect in 1.09, also add a separate echo effect to reverb to get more punching early delay taps.
