Product Ref: 144061
The Tiptop Audio HATS808 module provides your synthesizer with nostalgiac drum power. Using a range of square wave oscillators mixed and processed by bandpass filters. The unique metallic character of the 808-style hi-hats can now be patched into your sequences. And of course, there is plenty of CV control to get stuck in with.
This module emulates the classic and legendary snare drum sound. Heard on tracks through the 80s and thereafter, this snare sound invokes nostalgia like nothing else. Used by early hip hop pioneers, and Chicago house innovators. It's a true replication of that classic sound. It's tight and snappy timbre is ideal for a range of genres. The sound is produced in a very classic way - using two analog sound generators that have been mixed. The two oscillating sinewaves are coupled with a noise source, this creates that legendary snap. The front panel controls have been engineered in such a way that it can emulate different drum sounds too - not just snare sounds.
What's a drum machine without powerful kicks? Fortunately, the 808-style kick from the BD808 delivers that classic drum sound - closer than anything you've yet heard. It features independent accent levels and a dual input pulse-shaper. It's extended decay and high-powered gain stage adds great features to this already great sound.
Along side your bread and butter modules are the supplementary ones that give your music that real vintage vibe. These are the Cowbell, the Rimshot and the Maracas. These modules are important for giving your drum sequences that true 808-style sound. All based on the original designs - you can't fault the commitment to this legendary technology.
