Here's the basics of making kick drums on a basic subtractive synth.

I don't have a 5000, is there a noise generator? That's handy for making hats and snares.

Here's an overview the rest of the basic ways to make synth drums. The article is referring to analog subtractive synths, but that's not a problem, the 5k synth is a difital version of the same style of synthesis.

i've always liked the concepts in this video

pretty ingenious - squeezing every last bit of depth out of the machine. this is specific to the ms2000 but the concepts are the same.

I can't remember if it does have a noise generator, but you could D/l "white" or "pink noise and use a clip as a snare.

Basically, though all the old drum machines were created with synths, so you will prob getter better, easier, or the same sounds as d/l 808 or vintage sounds and use those.

as said, the snare will be white noise, w or w/o a ASDR env., High hats open and closed, also white noise with D being altered (high decay will sound closed, low open). The toms, and bass will be notes, I think people usually use sine waves, tri might be another option, and the pitch used will give u dif Toms and Bass drum, again ASDR will make it more realistic. A should be 0 or low, play around w. asdr settings

5000. yes it has white and pink noise i believe. not in front of it but i believe it does.

This is opposite of what you wanted but thought I'd share it anyway.

Avene takes a one shot snare and turns his MPC500 into a synth. (Yes, 500).
