jan 1, 2017 - Roland TR-08 (Drum Machine)

Description:

Roland has included 808 samples in several drum machines, including 808 its Grooveboxes in the 1990s, the TR-8 in 2014, and the TR-8S in 2018. In 2017, Roland released the TR-08, a miniaturized 808 featuring an LED display, MIDI and USB connections, expanded sequencer control, and a built-in speaker. Roland released the first official software emulations of the 808 and 909 in 2018.

In 2019, Behringer released an unlicensed recreation of the 808, the Behringer RD-8 Rhythm Designer. Unlike Roland's TR-08 and TR-8S, which use samples and virtual synthesis to recreate the 808 sounds, the RD-8 uses analogue circuitry.
