BD808 brings the unadulterated sound of the world-famous TR-808 to your rack! Thanks to modern production methods, the module also comes with a few extras without distorting the original sound of the 80s. The module sounds exactly as if it had been produced on the production line back then! TR-808 users back then used a common technique of running the Drum sounds through outboard equipment to create more level and overdrive, adding additional harmonics to the material. With the BD808's built-in high power gain circuitry with a working level of up to 20Vpp, this function is already included in the module and allows you to exploit both the original sound palette and post-processed sounds with sharp attacks and clipping.
Dual Input Pulse Shaper
The dual input pulse shaper circuit located in the inputs makes it possible to trigger the sounds via conventional trigger/gate signals from sequencers, Clock dividers or other pulse/clock sources without having to calibrate the levels of the trigger pulses in advance, thus eliciting consistently powerful sounds from the module regardless of the trigger signal.
Easy integration
All these small, useful functions make it easy to integrate this legendary sound into your modular system, which unleashes the analog power and makes the speaker domes shake! The numerous Tiptop drum modules form a complete, flexible synthesizer system. In combination with the MIXZ module (SYN0005163-000), the sum mix can be tapped without prior patching.
