To many at the time, its purely analog sound and range of tweakable parameters didn’t exactly deliver 'traditional' drum sounds. It wasn't until adventurous musicians and producers got their hands on the TR-808 and started tweaking those knobs that the world would fully realize the sonic impact it would leave on music forever. For the next three decades, the sizzling hi-hats and snappy snare, the robotic, clicky rim shot, the unmistakable cowbell and yes, that booming bass drum would be heard on many thousands of tracks. Worldwide hits, underground classics and entire genres were spawned. Its influence is so deep that it's been name-dropped in famous tracks, had albums dedicated to it and bands named after it, and even been the subject of a feature-length documentary film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-image-area hide-this hide-m2 show-mobile\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/files.kraftmusic.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/inline_images\/tr-08\/roland-tr-808-rhythm-composer-1980.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-text-area right-padding\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eA new generation of 808\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime has not diminished TR-808's influence. New genres continue to make use of the 808, with some utilizing it as the main instrument and defining sound of the style. Sure, you can use samples of a TR-808 but there's nothing quite like the real thing. The 808's user interface with its buttons, knobs and switches, and the odd quirks of how the sounds interact with each other – they're all vitally important to conjuring up that real 808 mojo.

The sequencer has 16 sub-steps per step, so you can create detailed snare fills and intricate, rolling hi-hats. It also has a track- selectable 1\/8\" trigger output for working with other instruments like Boutique TB-03, SH-01A or modular gear. An unobtrusive LED display provides finer control of tempo and shuffle. You can step-program or tap in your parts in real time without stopping to change modes. Everything sends and receives MIDI control messages and it even supports audio and MIDI over USB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-image-area hide-this hide-m2 show-mobile\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/files.kraftmusic.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/inline_images\/tr-08\/analog-circuit-behavior.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-text-area right-padding\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eAffordable and authentic\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal TR-808s are big and heavy, and their rarity makes them extremely expensive and sought-after on the used market. Because of this, many have resorted to 808 sample packs or hardware knockoffs. But there's something about the colors and controls and, of course, the sound of a genuine TR-808 that brings home the sound of so many classic tracks. TR-08 accurately recreates the ingredients that make an 808 so special. The interface, while miniaturized, is 100% authentic. The sound is vibrant and alive thanks to Roland's proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology. Roland uses ACB to carefully recreate all the details and quirks of the original hardware by modeling each analog circuit, right down to the component level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-image-area hide-this hide-mobile\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/files.kraftmusic.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/inline_images\/tr-08\/analog-circuit-behavior.png\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-image-area hide-this\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/files.kraftmusic.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/inline_images\/tr-08\/roland-tr-08-small-portable-rugged.jpg\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flexy-text-area left-padding\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"pdp_heading\"\u003eRugged and portable\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot only does Boutique TR-08 look and sound the part, it also has some modern features and conveniences. With all this beat-making power, it would be a shame to keep it shackled to the studio. After all, inspiration can strike anywhere, and drum machines are fun to play live. TR-08 is literally small enough to take just about anywhere. It's ruggedly built with sturdy knobs, buttons and switches. It has several tilt options for easy viewing in various live and studio scenarios. It can be a low-latency, portable audio interface. It has a built-in speaker and even runs on batteries for when the beat absolutely must go on. With all this power and flexibility, you may be most surprised by TR-08's affordable price, which puts the legendary 808 vibe within reach of just about anyone who’s ever dreamed of owning the iconic original.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Roland","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67692704071954,"sku":"ROL-TR08UB","price":609.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/4110\/9522\/files\/ROL-TR08UB.jpg?v=1794582118","url":"https:\/\/kraftmusic.com\/products\/roland-boutique-tr-08-rhythm-composer-ultra-bundle","provider":"Kraft Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
