"I modified this Roland TR-808, adding a pitch knob and sustain button for the BassDrum. It is for sale on ebay."
via this auction"Serial number: 269589. I have added two very useful modifications to this machine. Both adjust the BassDrum sound. One is a pitch knob, to tune the BassDrum. This knob can be turned off to return the BassDrum to it's exact stock pitch. The second is a sustain button. Depending on the setting of the Decay knob, this button can cause the BassDrum to sustain longer, or even self-oscillate and over drive.
By holding the sustain button, and twisting the pitch knob, the 808's BassDrum can be performed, a bit like a fretless bass."
