Classic Beats & Expanded Modular Approaches with Analog 808 Drums // OCTA from NANO MODULES


video upload by DivKid

"Here we have OCTA from NANO Modules. A set of 4 classic analog drum circuits, authentically taken from the Roland TR-808. We have the kick, snare and both closed & open hi hats. There's added controls, modular volume/drive per track and added section of compression, EQ and side chain envelope following. In this video I take them through classic 808 beats and sounds, expand them with modular mixing and we even turn it into one big pitch tracking (despite lack of pitch CV) bass oscillator ... I don't think anyone will be expecting the doom-laden ambient soundscapes from 808 drums. As always give these patches and ideas a go with your drum modules and enjoy OCTA!"
