Hey I am wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of this (below) particular sound. It is a very recognizable freestyle 'hit' type transition fx. Can't figure out which drum machine its on

2 Examples

0:29

and

0:00, 0:34

Thank you for any tips

Update:
After a bit of digging I found out it is the orchestra hit, and I might look through the Rolands sounds.
Here's a bit of history on it.

I think you will have a better chance of identifying the real device used in the recordings if you find some sort of gear list or background info on the producer/s of them. That was a copycat sound on so many devices. DX7 is the easy guess, Ensoniqs, the Alesis hr-16b has one iirc. For trivia/info? yeah, good luck. finding something almost identical, extremely easy.

that one hit still will get Poison stuck in your head.

E-Mu Drumulator and E-Mu Drumulator 2 for a lot of drums.

Are those the same with human voice layer or something? What is it?

2:37

 

freestyle wow i was producing stuff on popular records i only thought it was in Toronto and Miami Kim Esty, Sotto Voce, cutting crew,
tony monaco Freestyle frenzy compilations maybe thats why SOCAN still sends me money Oh yea Joey hahahaha did not have anything to do with that too bad

 

Try ORCH2 from the cmi farilight factory samples.
i belive it is on the arturia clone.

was used in alot of uk early dance music along with other orchecstal stab samples.

you whould find them on the old sample cds that blatantly had copyrighted material on them like X-Static Goldmine and Zero-G – Datafile.
that you can find on archive.org
