Tiptop

Turn your modular system into a self-contained music machine with the Tiptop Audio RS808, a Eurorack module featuring the original 808 analog Rimshot/Claves sound generator. Adapting the circuit to the modular format has allowed for more variation and control.The RS808 includes two switches that give a total of 4 different positions: two are the classic Rimshot and Clave sounds as found on the original, and two are unique to the RS808 module, adding a range of snappy click sounds that the circuit is capable of producing. Additionally, two control knobs were added, each having a different effect for the selected sound. The module ships with a ribbon power cable.At a Glance TR-808 analog Rimshot and Claves sound generator in Eurorack formatClassic sound but with even more variation and controlTwo switches for a total of 4 different positionsTwo are the classic Rimshot/Claves sounds as found on the originalTwo are unique to the RS808 module, adding a range of snappy click sounds that the circuit is capable of producingTwo control knobs were added, each having a different effect for the selected sound. These controls can be categorized as Pitch and Snap, as they control the frequency of the oscillator and decay of the envelope generatorExact reproduction of the original circuit, which sounds like a fresh analog machine coming off the assembly line back in the '80sAdvanced Circuits Compatible with all the other drums in this series, the RS808 includes a hot modular level output gain stage capable of producing signals that can be easily distorted if desired.On the inputs, Tiptop Audio designed a dual input pulse-shaper circuit, so you can trigger the SD808 with trigger/gate signals from your own step sequencer, clock dividers, or any other pulse/clock sources. This eliminates the need to shape pulses sent to the module and ensures the same stable sound at peak power regardless of your pulse source. All these unique features make integrating this legendary sound generator into your modular synth easy, unleashing the power of real analog drums.Eurorack Ready 4 HP Eurorack format moduleMaximum depth: 0.6" (14mm)Includes power ribbon cable with Eurorack power headersPower consumption: +12V, 14mA; -12V, 13mA
