In developing the TR-8, we’ve obsessively analyzed and faithfully recreated every detail and nuance of the analog circuitry of these legendary rhythm machines-the boom and snap of the 808 the thud of the 909 the robotic click of an 808 rim shot or a classic 909 snare roll. From rap and house to techno and trance, the TR-808 and TR-909 have left an indelible mark on the art and culture of music. Not only have they appeared on thousands of dance tracks over the course of three decades, they’ve helped define the sound of entire musical genres. Unleashed upon an unsuspecting world in the 1980s, the TR-808 and TR-909 produce arguably the most influential drum sounds in modern music.
