Making 2-bar patterns on the TR-808 with the 1st/2nd part function

video upload by Collector Current

"The TR-808 (or RE-808 in my case) has two ways to make longer patterns. There is the A/B function which lets you switch between two different patterns (AAAA or BBBB) or alternate (ABAB). But there is also the option to extend your pattern with a '2nd part' to make it up to 32 steps long.

This is independent of A/B so if you want you could even have 4 bars in your pattern: A1, A2, B1, B2.

In this video I show how to use the 1st/2nd part function.

MSTRBLSTR - Pattern Clear Pattern Write

video upload by MSTRBLSTR

"MSTRBLSTR - Pattern Clear Pattern Write.
124 BPM machine-driven acid house - negative space, dub handoffs, tape delay + spring reverb. Brief clears, then a new polymetric logic takes over."

https://open.spotify.com/track/4dNO60... https://mstrblstr.bandcamp.com/track/...

"Machine-driven acid house at 124 BPM: transient-forward percussion with hollow-bodied punch, a constant bass groove that shifts in intensity, and an arrangement built on negative space and dub-style handoffs.

Tape delay and spring reverb open wide. Brief breaks wipe the grid just long enough for the pattern to snap back into focus. Then the momentum clears and a new polymetric logic takes over. Modulated melodic drifts change the room without abandoning the floor, leaving you somewhere familiar but newly yours.

"dc11 Bio:
Parisian-based producer and live artist dc11 specializes in modular synthesis, crafting deep and organic techno with rich, looping textures.
Drawing inspiration from the hands-on manipulation of sound through toggling switches, as well as from artists like Mike Parker, Sandwell District, and Luke Slater, dc11 began his electronic music journey with the acquisition of a Teenage Engineering OP-1, where he first created ambient loops. Despite initially possessing limited knowledge of modular synthesis, his eagerness to explore has led to the development of a unique and atmospheric sound. dc11 is definitely an artist to watch!"

The missing Din Sync logo through me off. You can see what one with looks like with the logo here.

According to the listing:

"The special thing about my replica, however, is that I had the housing overmolded. Among other things, the DinSync logo has now been replaced by the Roland logo. Now it really is as if you had a real 808 in your studio. A real eye-catcher!"

Another note from the listing worth capturing:

"It should be mentioned that the “Accent” and “Cowbell” trigger outs on the rear panel are internally reversed. However, this was a mistake in the wiring diagram at the time but it does not affect the function in any way."
