video upload by Synth Tailor Electronics

"Here's a lovely Roland TR-808 drum machine that needed some repairs, then Midi added. This video is for Jason Massie (who owns this TR-808)

Repairs done:
-Power Supply Rebuilt
-Cleaning of Battery Corrosion, repair of 12 traces (lot's of acid went through a few sections of the traces)
-Repair to the Bass Drum circuit (decay was ringing out infinitely, once pattern was stopped) Faulty film capacitor, transistor found on this circuit as well.
-Repair to the Cowbell circuit (ringing out a high pitch all the time-battery corrosion fault)
-Installation of ‪@tubbutec‬ Unipulse Midi kit, which has an awesome online program where you can configure lot's of different drum sound/midi settings.

The Roland TR808 is such a legendary drum machine, used by just about every Genre of music starting in the 1980's to even today. They have a distinct sound/character that cuts through the mix, most known for their 808 kick, cowbell, clap, snare, etc."
