This Module Sounds Exactly Like The Roland TR-808

In this video from System 80, we watch a demo of the 808 Eurorack Drum Machine, an excellent Eurorack emulation of the classic Roland TR-808 drum machine that we all know and love.

Each drum voice was carefully compared to two original 808s and small adjustments were made to tune each circuit to match the 35 year-old original reference machines.

Features

• 16 analogue drum voices (6 single voices, 5 switchable dual voices) with global accent
• Pattern sequencer with 1-32 steps
• 12 banks of 16 patterns
• 16 rhythm tracks
• Shuffle and roll modes
• External MIDI triggering of drum voices
• 11 individual drum voice outputs + master output with volume control
• 2 assignable trigger outputs
• External sync via MIDI clock, DIN Sync or clock pulse.

It’s still not entirely clear when the 808 Eurorack will become available for purchase, however you can visit System 80’s website to sign up for the mailing list.
