The Only Official 808 Plugin
Roland invented the 808, and now we’ve brought it to life in your DAW.
Painstaking Modeling
Using our proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior technology, we’ve recreated the original analog circuits that are the essence of the TR-808’s distinct sound, so your tracks have that classic boom, snap, and sizzle.
Modern Features To Bring Your Tracks To Life
We’ve added some extra features not found on the original 808. Now you have a fully-featured edit window, sub-outs with no cables and you can even drag patterns right from the plugin to your DAW project!
*Test Drive is a time-based activation of the TR-808 instrument and patch collections. After August 31st, access to the TR-808 and its corresponding patch collections will only be available as a Lifetime Key purchase or in Pro or Ultimate memberships.
