This Analog 808 Drum Machine Clone, 8Raw8, Looks & Sounds Awesome

Regular readers of AskAudio will remember we featured the 8raw8 Analog Drum Expander with Moog-style rotary knobs in June 2016. Now you can see it in action.  

With a number of high-profile clones of the much-loved original TR-808 drum machine already on the market, 8raw8 have another for us to consider. Each unit is hand-built in France and feature Moog-style rotary knobs.

We featured this pack on 22nd June 2016. You can read our initial article here.

And now you can watch and see this analog drum expander in action in this good quality video:

One thing missing from the 8raw8 compared with the original TR808 is a sequencer. But, in today's studios, most of us have a step sequencer thanks to Korg, Arturia & NI, or are happy to hook it up direct to our DAWs. 8raw8 is designed to fit in neatly to your existing studio or live setup. So, the lack of a sequencer on-board the machine isn't a deal breaker for many of us.
