Like most people, I've always wanted to own an original Roland TR-808 but it's always been the wrong price or the wrong time or both. Earlier this year my time finally came.
I wanted to make a video showing why it's still a very relevant and useful instrument in a modern studio and that it's not just purely about nostalgia, whilst that obviously plays a part!

I can't afford the real deal right now, so I "settled" for a TR8S I got for cheap second hand and been having a blast since I got the machine. Discovered the real joy of using a TR style sequencer to actually perform on and not just sequence. I'd like to get some of the originals from the TR line when I have the opportunity as I used them in the form of samples and my TR8S all the time. This video gives me some ideas to try with my drum machine.

The Cyclone Analogic TT-78 is a fantastic machine too. It’s an analog machine modeled after the CR-78 (you can edit the sounds and the programmer is one of the best in a step-type drum machine). It has a heavier sound than the original 78, more like an 808, especially the kick. Great for techno.

As a Roland user since 1987, this gave me lots of nostalgic feels. Tweaking effects off individual outs all night and all day getting one of a kind sounds was the most fun ever. I real appreciate that you gave the boutique it’s due respect. It actually is quite amazing how great it is. I had the TR-8 and TR-6. Which ended up being my two favorite drum machines I’ve ever owned. I ended up selling them and getting the TR-8s which does all the sounds and is a monster but it hasn’t yet charmed me like the TR-8 and TR-6 did.

Reminds me of the 'good' old days of trawling through sample CDs for various bonks, doinks, and plonks from machines like this... all good stuff. I do love a drum machine with loads of outputs. I used to chain two of the sample slots on my Casio RZ-1 to put a sampled kick into, and the other two slots for a snare. The Casio's own were pants, but the hats, toms, and clap were really useable. Went well alongside the Roland stuff for a different texture.

Excellent. I miss mine constantly,such fun units. I’ll prob grab the boutique at some point,but I REALLY want to put together a Dinsync Re-808. One of the secrets with the analog ones is: Don’t sample just individual sounds,sample WHOLE loops out of it,because that’s part of where the magic is. The way the internal sequencer triggers the sounds is part of what takes it to a whole other level. Organic triggering and timing barely within the limits of acceptability? Maybe so,I’m not sure.😅 But the sound of the whole unit chugging along is in a class of its own for sure.⚡️

606, 707, 808 and 909 are all glorious in their own ways. The OG boxes are special, obviously, but the TR-8S does it all and very well.

Ahhhh I miss the days of contacting music control audio services in the late ‘90’s, advertised in the back of future music magazine….. that’s where I got all my analogue gear from….. including my tr606, tr909, tr808, tb303, mc202, sh101, moog prodigy, ms20 & sq10….. all dirt cheap and fully serviced & warrantied! I still have everything too! Man you’re a legend🤘

Im delighted that Alex is delighted. As THE Roland guy on synth RU-vid this has to be one of the big ones to tick off your list, and good explaining how it could be processed (has given me a few ideas about recreating a similar rack in my DAW). Edit: get in touch with Geert to do a Sexual Healing cover, that was such a dope teaser!

Thanks very much, appreciate it! And yes, Geert may yet get his hands on the 808, or the 8008 as he calls it.

Congratulations! It's rather surprising that your studio didn't have a TR-808 yet. I believe this TR-808 has found its best owner. The sound of it seemed happy, too; you made it sound so lively and cheerful. I wish TR-808 had finger drumming capability for you to perform (same with TR-08 for that matter). If you find a good workaround, let us know.

Thanks! The sound certainly made me happy. TR-808/08 - you can hit the tap/fill-in button on the far right and play patterns in live. It's only one sound at a time, but it's the closest thing to finger drumming.

Many Ways Out reminds me of Freaky Chakra vs Single Cell Orchestra from '96. Brilliant! Love it.

You've made me doubt if I really love the 909 more... Thanks, for the amazing video and performance too. :) And the way you're holding it like the precious baby it is lmao XD
