Happy 808 day everyone!
Roland debuted the TR-808 in 1980 for $1,200. Although the drum machine was only in production for 3 years due to initially being a commercial failure, it gained a strong foothold in the world of music. Tradition musicians felt it lacked an acoustic sound. It was not until later that electronic musicians and hip hop producers started using the 808. The booming bass, thick snare, and transient clap stood out easily in the mix.
In honor of international 808 day,we are releasing a small sample pack which contains some of the iconic sounds created by the drum machine. All sounds created in house at Bassline Syndicate Studio.

Behring RD-808
Today Behringer released its first officical video of the RD-808. Not much is known about the unit, as they have not released any details publicly. Currently it appears to be an analog clone of the classic Roland TR-808 with a couple of minor differences.
The main differences are a wave designer section (which includes attack and sustain), added filter, rubberized buttons, and USB midi (with software in development?). The other differences are in cosmetics and build. As the current state of the unit is still the hand-made model and not the production unit, there will be more to be added.
