Tiptop Audio Bass Drum Generator Eurorack Module

Introducing the BD808, part of Tiptop’s new series of drum modules that brings analog percussion into the modular synth world, instantly turning your system into a self-contained music machine. It’s small size, minimally discrete design, and modern production methods have allowed tiptop to bring the world’s most famous bass drum sound generator back into production at a very low cost. The real thing is here again. The BD808 is Roland’s TR-808’s bass drum circuit adapted for use in eurorack modular synthesizer format and was tested to sound like a fresh machine coming out of the assembly line back in the 80’s. The adaptation to modular format has allowed tiptop to add some special features such as independent accent levels, a high-powered gain stage, dual input-pulse-shaper and extended decay- all this without compromising the original signature sound of the TR-808.
