    The samples sound great, and are immediately recognizable. The readme file explains the mapping of the samples. There's no UI to speak of, although the background of the instrument is a photo of the CR-78 drum machine itself, which is fun and inspiring.
    It does seem that the physical drum machine has more sounds than the samples represented here, but the sounds that are here are good ones!
