"808 Pro(TR-808 Clone - not just another Roland Aira TR-8) -Techno live jam with Elektron Analog Four and 303 Pro(TB-303 Clone)

808 Pro was designed and hand built by a Chinese DIY synth fan - Puimen. It is not just another clone of Roland TR-808 or another AIRA like VA or vst in a box. It is purely a analog drum machine without providing any internal dsp effect, 909 mod and other unnecessary functions as for a analog synth fan. But it does provide a complete recreation the analog sound of Roland 808 drum machine. Except for the traditional midi and sequence functions, 808 Pro was added in with two digital controlled filter, of which the filter circuit (SSM2044) from famous Korg Mono/Poly. The stereo filter can be step sequential controlled in order to generate step filter stereo effect.

At this moment, Puimen is still testing and modifying 808 Pro. Now it is only engineer sample, no silkscreen, even knobs not fully attached. We hope the machine could be ready for oversea shipment from China in late 2014. Pricing is to be determined yet. But Puimen promised that the pricing should give most of synth fans a great surprise."
