Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer

The iconic Roland TR-808 can be spotted in Calvin Harris' studio.

Josh Klinghoffer can be seen in this photo with a Roland TR-808.

"What I did with the 808 is that I took out the trigger signal from the clap drum into the SH-101, which is also has an extra distortion and filter. What I love is when you add just a little bit of desk distortion on the 808. I really love the sound of an 808 being distorted just a little bit. The clap drum triggers the notes of the SH-101. So you can just go on load and play any notes, and then it will play the pattern of the thing which is the same thing - it's pretty cool."

In this 2001 interview with Daft Punk about Discovery, their main synths are listed. The 808 and its cousin the 909 are both mentioned.

"Basically from my first trip to Japan I bought myself a 303, 909 and 808."

The Roland TR-808 can be seen in this photo of Richie Hawtin performing live as Plastikman. Also pictured are two [Roland TB-303](http://equipboard.com/items/roland-tb-303)'s, a [Roland TR-909](http://equipboard.com/items/roland-tr-909-rhythm-composer), and a [Roland MC-202](http://equipboard.com/items/roland-mc-202-microcomposer).

"I don't want to use pre-programmed drum sounds. I've used modified [Roland TR-]808 sounds on Ambient Works, but that's because the tracks are around four to five years old. And the Polygon Window tracks use updated 808 sounds because the original recording quality is so abysmal."

In this video, in which Mathew Jonson highlights his live performance setup, his Roland TR-808 is visible throughout, and there is a good shot of it at 7:57, on the right.

Come ho passato in rassegna attraverso le note di copertina di album di Moby ho notato che le liste di marcia documentate nella versione 1995 tutto è sbagliato sono quasi identiche alla sua configurazione attuale. Potrebbe davvero essere possibile che questo musicista di successo non aveva contanti di ricambio da spendere per nuovi attrezzi in studio nel corso degli ultimi quattro anni? "Da tutto è sbagliato fino ad ora ho comprato un vocoder e un nuovo campionatore e questo è tutto. Da un lato mi piacerebbe ottenere un mucchio di nuove attrezzature, ma d'altra parte c'è qualcosa da dire per lavorare con attrezzature di cui io sento a mio agio. sto pensando che a un certo punto io in realtà passare e ottenere una completa configurazione Pro Tools e iniziare a fare le cose più nel computer, ma per questo record non mi sento in dovere di fare quella."

In the N.W.A song "Gangsta, Gangsta", the signature sounds of the Roland TR-808 can be heard several times. At about 0:19 through 0:22, you can hear the TR-808 Open Hi-Hat, Closed Hi-Hat and Snare Drum in the left speaker. At about 0:22, you can hear the TR-808 cowbell in the left speaker. At about 0:26, you can hear the closed Hi-Hat and the clave sounds from the 808 in the right speaker. Also, the kick drum from the 808 can be heard several times throughout the song.

"...And I wanted to use the 808 drum machine because I’d always wanted one, but they became very expensive and I was never able to afford it. I finally got one and I use it as much as possible..."

"I would say the only similarity was to do with the tempo of Northern Soul and our faster numbers. On ‘Tainted Love’ I used a Roland Compurhythm CR78 drum machine, I first used a TR808 on ‘Bedsitter’, the follow-up single. I think that was possibly the first record in the UK Top 10 to use an 808."

In a studio tour with [Attack Magazine](http://www.attackmagazine.com/features/my-studio/tom-furse-the-horrors/), Tom Furse says, "What can I say that hasn’t already be said? I wish mine had MIDI though, because I’ve been using James Holden’s Humanisers a lot recently and my 808 doesn’t talk to the computer. I did record all the sounds to 1/4” tape though and have used those sounds on projects, so it’s getting on there one way or another."

He says, "but one thing I do know is that his 808 sounded different to any other 808 I’ve ever heard – he said he’d opened it up and adjusted a few trimpots."

Horn states in [this interview](http://www.roland.co.uk/blog/trevor-horn/) with Roland that his first experience with Roland gear was a TR-808.

"I’d got a Roland CSQ-100 Sequencer and a Roland SH09 Synth and a TR-808. I’d had the 808 for a while and not really used it but I was noticing that people were using them on these electro records. I was writing stuff on the sequencer and drum machine and we’d build stuff around that."

"IT. Fricken. LIVES!! They tried to kill it. Left it to rot. Gave it up for dead. Like its owner, there is more fight left in this. McCabe 98, world 0."

I’ve had this 808 since 1995 or so, and it’s always indispensable to me and my favourite drum machine ever, no doubt. It’s a sound that I never grow tired of, and I can always find a place for it in every song I’m working on.

Used in the Cocteau Twins album Garlands.

These days Ocasek busies himself while at home with a TEAC 88 8-track tape machine connected to a Sound Workshop 1280 B board in turn hooked up with two Orban 622B equalizers (the board is also equipped with its own parametric equalizers. For keyboards he swears by his Prophets and Roland Jupiter 8. using a Korg Lambda for orchestral coloring and often calling in an assortment of little Casiotones for reinforcement. He probably has more drum machines than anything else-both the old Linn LM-1 Drum Computer and the new LinnDrum. a Korg KR 55, five Roland units (including a TR808. CR8000 and a Dr. Rhythm), some old Univox rhythm gizmos and a drum machine yanked out of a Hammond organ "that has the Liverpool beat." the kind of insect clicking you hear in organ shops in suburban shopping malls.

'After Sector 27 fell through I moved to Hamburg to get away from it all, taking my Portastudio, Bassline, Chorus Echo and the trusty TR808 on which I eventually wrote "War Baby". (I've since switched to a TR606 Drumatix because it's quicker to programme and you can use it anywhere: it's powered by batteries as well as a mains adaptor, and you just plug headphones in the back.)'

25:45 Jeff Mills is using Roland TR808 for live jamming, this is my first time see him use 808 for live

I was using 909s, 808s, DX100s, and now it’s computers with plugins, DJing with Traktor and stuff.

"Back then I was also using a Sequential Pro-One keyboard, a Roland RS-09 string synth, an ARP Odyssey and an ARP Axxe. And I had a Boss DR-55 and then an 808, obviously, when they first came out."

"I've got a Fostex portastudio and TR808 drum computer. Then there's a Juno 6 and recently a Juno 60 for stage 'cos the '6' is virtually useless as you can't program it. Then there's the DX7, a Yamaha fretless bass, a Boss RX100 reverb plus some junky old AKG 90 microphones."

We can see a half of the classic TR-808

Other equipment used by the band over the years includes:

"I've got an old Roland TR808 drum machine which has a set of trigger outputs and I use these with either a Dynacord Percuter or a Roland DDR30. I usually programme a pattern into the TR808 and use some of the outputs to trigger the Dynacord and the others for the DDR30. Once I've got a nice little groove happening along with the track we've already recorded, I just use an SRC Friendchip synchroniser to lock the two together so that I can add a few electronic drum sounds to the basic three-piece foundation of guitar, bass and drums already recorded. I also use a Roland Octapad and assign the outputs to play samples on the Emulator - oh, we've been using a Linn II drum machine out in Amsterdam as well."

Included in this list of Martyn's Roland gear.

Numan reveals yet more Roland gear. In pride of place on top of the piano is the ubiquitous TR-808 of which Gary says: You can often hear me with that going at home sitting at my old piano waiting for inspiration to strike. It's got some really good sounds in it and I don't know if it's me or not but it seems to have a better feel than some of the other drum machines I've heard.'

"We get hardware mainly from America and Japan and the instruments are adapted by our engineers to our specifications. I have a number of keyboards including the OB-X, PPG Wave Computer 1 & 2, various Arp equipment, and four custom built sequencers made in Germany. I also play guitar and I use various instruments including Fender and Gibson. I don't really need to use guitar synthesisers as we have the keyboards. I like to work with the Roland MC-8 Micro Composer and TR808 drum machine. These are some of the instruments I use regularly, although we do have links with most of the synthesiser producing companies who supply us with new equipment from time to time."

Roland TR-808 is included in the Equipment List.

Roland TR-808 Rythm Composer The first normal looking drum machine Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer was also one of the first programmable drum machines at the time. Introduced by the Roland Corporation in early 1980, it was originally manufactured for use as a tool for studio musicians to create demos. Like earlier Roland drum machines, it does not sound very much like a real drum kit. Drum machines in general became an integral part of rap music as a cheap and simple way of producing a drum sound. The Roland TR-808 held specific appeal because of the ability of its bass drum sound to produce extremely low-frequency sounds. It's 100% analogue and is still proclaimed to having the best clap. It's also very famous for it's good marracas sounds. Used: Pandemonium, Ruff in the Jungle Bizness and many more older tracks.

In the inner booklet of the album album "Terapia Intensiva" there's a detail of what instruments play each member of the band.

:Well, I mostly use the sounds of a Linn Drum. It is not a very sexy drum machine! It provides EPROM-based sampling and replicates the same sound every time, which is completely opposite to what I like most about the Roland TR-808. The thought that every bass drum of a 808 is unique makes it more valuable in this way, especially when you put it in a musical context. There are no two 808 bass drums which are the same, they are all unique. Whereas a Linn Drum is exactly the same thing all the time".

As much as she enjoys shiny new gear, Allien would be at a loss without her vintage synths. For Thrills, she employed her trusty Roland TR-808 drum machine and SH-101 analog synth along with Clavia Nord Lead and Nord Modular synths; a Midas mixer; Apple Logic Pro; and her prized piece, the ARP 2600. “Turning wheels and pressing buttons, all [my] instruments sound deep and dark in my ears,” she says. “The ARP is perfect for that! And the ARP 2600 is the last synth I've bought — I saw it in Japan first and bought it finally on eBay. But I was looking a long time for it.”

"In the early nineties, as acid house was developing a cult around this drum machine, it was suddenly very fashionable to riff along to TR808 sounds. We did that almost ten years earlier, when the cocktail drinking classes and the NME thought it was a bloody stupid idea. (One wet afternoon in the early eighties, we switched the Doktor to play the usual stuff but twice as fast. Hey presto! Drum'n'bass! This was interesting for about ten minutes. Even Cabaret Voltaire couldn't manage to make it interesting for much longer. Please don't tell us it's interesting now.) The TR808 was really the first serious drum machine. The kick and snare still needed savage eq (and they didn't take kindly to it), the tom-toms were a complete waste of time, but otherwise it was a decent machine. Individual outputs, tunable drums, enough memory. Ben Gunn once managed to press the TR808's dangerous red button as we were about to go onstage in Brussels, so Andrew had to reprogram the whole damn machine while everybody else was tuning their guitars up (slowly). "

Spectrasonics Studio List The equipment list for the Spectrasonics studio reads like a gear-head's dream. Favourites amongst Eric's sizeable synthesizer collection include the Access Virus, the Prophet VS, his collection of Waldorf synthesizers, and a 1976 Yamaha CS80. "It's my favourite axe to play, because of the awesome polyphonic aftertouch and that sensuous ribbon," explains Eric. For effects processing Eric is a fan of the Roland SRV330 reverb, an item that "gets missed by most people, mainly because it doesn't say Lexicon on the front panel." For distortion tricks Eric often uses a rare Boss GL100 guitar preamp: "It's basically the history of Boss pedals in one rack space." Mixing, until recently, was done on some "very odd, custom-made analogue mixers made by a guy named Mo West," reveals Eric. He recently purchased a Roland VM 7000-series mixer, however, taking him one step closer to an all-digital setup.
