Thanks for the feedback. My goal for this project was to make a recreation (maybe homage is a better word) completely in the browser. Also I was of the opinion that if I made this sample based the page size would skyrocket and I don't really see people wanting to download an entire 808 sample library just to fool around in a website.

I would wait a few seconds to load the 20MB or so for the samples. Maybe this would work: http://trashaudio.com/2010/01/roland-tr-808-sample-pack/ I'd expect something like this to have some heft.
