What it is
The TR-808 Software Synthesizer is a faithful digital recreation of Roland's iconic 1980 drum machine, built using Roland's proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior technology. It models the original analog circuits at the component level, delivering the same booming bass drum, sizzling hi-hats, and unmistakable cowbell that define the 808 sound. This is the sound behind decades of hip-hop, techno, house, and pop production - rebuilt for your DAW with an expanded feature set.
