Now the sound of “808th” is the basis of youth urban culture, in particular, the trill-fonka, trap, cloud, video, and other directions. TR-808 is so ubiquitous over the years that its dramas seem to be an independent language of expression. “808-dram” in the DNA of culture is the driving force behind its development and the ensuing directions. “808-barrel” has become such an integral part of hip-hop that it is now impossible to imagine how the genre would sound today and how far behind the musical evolution of our realities. The famous drum machine touched almost all areas of modern music, pretty much inheriting prints. Roland used Analog Circuit Behavior technology to transfer the analog circuitry of the device into program code to recreate the sound of the original TR-808 drum machine.
