DESCRIPTION
The BD808 is the Rolanbd TR-808's Bass Drum circui adapted for use in Eurorack formation and tuned to sound like a machine that comes fresh off the original 80's assembly line. The adaptation to modular format has allowed us to add some special features like independent Accent levels, a high-powered gain stage, dual-input pulse-shaper, and extended decay - all without compromising the signature sound of the TR-808.
A widely used technique with TR-808 machines is to run the drum sounds through outboard amplifiers to add gain and then pas the sound through just about anything to generate additional harmonics caused by clipping and distortion. In the BD808, we have already included this high-powered output gain stage capable of producing signals up to 20Vpp, extending from the original palette of sounds and allowing you to get an assorted array of harmonized bass drums ranging from sharp attacks to crushed tones using this simple yet effective technique! On the inputs, we have also designed a dual pulse-shaper circuit so you can trigger your BD808 with Trigger/Gate signals from step sequencers, clock dividers, or any other pulse/clock sources. This saves you the need to shape the pulses sent to the module and of differences in your pulse source.
All these little, but unique, features make integrating this legendary sound generator into your modular easy, unleashing the power of real analog drums and making those speakers cones shake. Features
Control knobs for Level, Tone, Decay, and Accent Gate input and Accent input - both accept either Trigger or Gate signals Bass Drum audio output Exact clone of the TR-808 Bass Drum!
