## Description

Classic analog drum machine with 16 drum sounds, 64 step sequencer, wave designer and Dual-Mode filter.

Review: So Beautiful I Want To Cry - Boom. Boom. BaBoom. This machine is a dream. I have samples of the 808 in an original Roland Sound Canvas and in so many knock-off digital sample sets. Turning the knobs to get the perfect sound is just so rewarding, and the new Wave Designer and Analog Filter really complete the instrument. Most tracks that used the original TR-808 in its prime included substantial processing outside of the unit. The addition of the built-in post processing makes this less necessary. You can select which drum sounds go through these new internal filters. If you want to process the audio externally, you can do that too. Each instrument has its own dedicated out. When you plug a cable in here, it removes that instrument from the main mix. Did I mention the Accent? Accent is programmed like a drum track, but it doesn't make any sound itself, instead it impacts all of the other drum sounds on that beat making them louder and thicker. The accent can also be sent out as a CV trigger to an analog synthesizer, for example to restart your LFO. As with all great instruments, the possibilities are endless. Thank you Behringer. THANK YOU!
Review: Accurate machine with a great value - If you want basically an exact copy of an 808 in your studio with a few minor improvements, low price and solid construction, this is what you should get. If you’re not looking specifically for the 808 sound you’d maybe be better off with another more capable low cost machine. This drum machine is incredibly intuitive and easy to quickly lay a sequence and keep going. Polyrhythms are a neat feature that I will hopefully dive more into. I was disappointed to find there is no automation on any of the knobs, either by MIDI or sequencing automation. Although you can automate the attack, sustain, and cutoff sends. Hopeful a future firmware update could add this huge feature, but likely won’t if the physical connections aren’t present.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Real analogue drum machine.
*by A***. on September 9, 2020*

I am very happy with this machine. Behringer has done a great job recreating this classic. The sound of the machine is fantastic, the filter in the effects section sounds nice, it is a more than opportune addition. Some details to keep in mind: 1 - Each part/sound has an independent mono audio output. 2 - The mix output is mono, this equipment does not have a stereo output 3 - There is a trend in modern equipment to make everything small. This machine is an exception to that rule, it has large dimensions, its buttons and knobs are large. Be careful if you don't have much room in your studio. 4 - The first time I used it, I found the issue that the machine did not record the patches correctly, when turning off the machine everything was lost and it restarted blank. Solve this situation by recovering the original factory installation from the same machine.
