You want to try it with drum machines that store samples on EPROMs.

The advantage
over using EPROMs is that you can re-write the RAM as many
times as you like (EPROMS have a limited number of program cycles) and
rewrite it quickly. Unless your programming is a lot better than mine,
you will go mad if you have to wait 20 minutes for an EPROM to be erased
and reprogammed. each time you want to make a change!
Unless you have a pile of EPROMs handy... :-)
