Daaamn man. I think $500 for an R-8 is a little steep.
I've seen them on average $100-$150.
There is also a rack version ( R8-M? or something) that will take the cards.
I know the cards add significant value, but all you need is the 808/Dance cards.
Definitely try the loop/sustain thing.
Thats how I had it on my old W-30 workstation.
The original sound was basically a low-frequency blip, kraftwerk style electronic sound.
But they looped it & pitched it down, turning it into a steady "THummmmmmmmmm".
Tune the attack/start point to tweak the amount thump/kick you want, so for a bassline, you'd probably turn the attack/start up so you get just the "ummmmmmm".
