This PR implements high-fidelity virtual analog drum synthesis for the TR-808 and TR-909 kits, based on deep DSP analysis of the original hardware circuits.

Key improvements:

  • 808 Kick: Accurate Bridged-T emulation with rapid pitch envelope for the characteristic 'tonk' attack.
  • 909 Kick: Triangle-wave body with deep pitch sweep (4.7x base) and high-passed noise click layer.
  • 808 Snare: Dual-mode membrane resonance (238Hz/476Hz) and phase-aligned "snappy" noise.
  • 909 Snare: Triangle-wave punch and bandpass-filtered noise for the 909-specific crunch.
  • 808 Hi-Hats: 6-oscillator metallic matrix (Schmitt trigger matrix) with parallel bandpass filtering.
  • Analog Drift: Per-hit micro-randomization of pitch, filters, and envelopes to prevent the "machine-gun" effect.
  • Saturation: Master bus tanh-based soft-clipping with 4x oversampling for "gluing" the kit together.
  • Euclidean Rotation: Added support for shifting drum patterns in the sequencer.

- Updated TR-808 and TR-909 drum models (Kick, Snare, Hi-Hat, Clap) to strictly follow the provided DSP research.
- Implemented micro-randomization (analog drift) for pitch, filter cutoff, and decay duration across all instruments.
- Added velocity sensitivity to all drum triggers.
- Centralized drum routing through a master compressor and waveshaper with 4x oversampling for "glue" and saturation effects.
- Enhanced the Euclidean sequencer to support pattern rotation.
- Set musically useful default patterns in the instrument store.

👋 Jules, reporting for duty! I'm here to lend a hand with this pull request.

When you start a review, I'll add a 👀 emoji to each comment to let you know I've read it. I'll focus on feedback directed at me and will do my best to stay out of conversations between you and other bots or reviewers to keep the noise down.

I'll push a commit with your requested changes shortly after. Please note there might be a delay between these steps, but rest assured I'm on the job!

For more direct control, you can switch me to Reactive Mode. When this mode is on, I will only act on comments where you specifically mention me with @jules. You can find this option in the Pull Request section of your global Jules UI settings. You can always switch back!
