Early preparation for #909day 2026 ;-). Might have to settle for #303day or #808day instead! ;-D

No samples, except for the cymbals and hats (as those are samples in the original; so might go for a wavetable approach?).

A fun little loop for #808day

Should write something on my TR-8 tonight because y’know 808

Roland’s #808Day: animated films, apparel collabs, patterns, parties, software deals.

to quote from Feel it by the fabulous TOKiMONSTA

"I need those 808s....
Bumpin
'til we see the sun"

and even if the Sun is shining where you are, this song should make your day a little bit brighter

Happy #808Day, to celebrate I thought I’d share this 808-heavy diss track my squirrelly frenemy :Oskar: @oskar made for me back in 2022 during his Twitter shenanigans :MOULE_Ha:

For 808 day I will make fart noises into a microphone and pitch them down two octaves. #808day #utterrubbish

Oh, I nearly missed that it's 808 Day today. It'd be great to have an actual TR-808, though I'm not sure I have the space for one!

Here's an absolute classic that uses the 808, A Guy Called Gerald's Voodoo Ray.

"The Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer [...] was one of the first drum machines to allow users to program rhythms instead of using preset patterns."

“…we synthesizer engineers couldn’t help feeling that simply recording and playing back acoustic sounds was too easy—it didn’t require craftsmanship. Because Roland is a synthesizer maker, I suggested that we should develop a drum synthesizer. Each instrument would have its own synthesis method, allowing users to create sounds to their taste, rather than just realistic ones. Kakehashi-san agreed with this idea.”— Kikumoto Tadao, lead developer of the Roland TR-808 #808Day https://mastodon.social/@pkirn/114992843566760542

"Roland’s Tadeo Kikumoto on 808, part by part: the ukiyo-e drum machine"

I was lucky enough to be on the writing team for the epic 400-page Roland tome at Bjooks.

To celebrate #808day we've got that book in a deal for free with their subs, plus an excerpt on CDM of an interview with Roland's legendary Mr. Tadeo Kikumoto.

No new #808day content from me as I've been road tripping, but here's one I prepared (much) earlier:

Feat. one of the Goldbaby 808 kits on my Elektron Model:Samples, a TD-3 going through an analogue delay for the Acid lines and my trusty Grandstand talking computer on vocals.

I just want to say a Happy #808Day to all my fellow drum machine enthusiasts!
