880 Desktop Analog Drum Machine

Imagine dialing in those iconic 808 kicks and snares with the exact analog warmth that defined countless tracks from the 80s, now squeezed into a sleek desktop box that skips the Eurorack hassle.

This 16-voice analog beast recreates every TR-808 drum sound using discrete circuits, including 6 single voices like bass drum and cowbell, plus 5 switchable dual voices—think low tom flipping to low conga mid-pattern via electronic switching for seamless sequencing. The TR-style step sequencer offers 1-32 steps per pattern, 12 banks of 16 patterns across 12 tracks, shuffle/roll modes, and global accent to punch up hits. Hands-on controls include dedicated tuning knobs for bass/snare/toms, tone tweaks for brightness on bass/snare/cymbals, and a snappy knob for snare bite; tap tempo, A/B variations, copy/paste, and manual play let you jam live. At 12 x 6.3 x 2 inches, it packs 11 mono individual outs, stereo master with volume, 2 assignable trigger outs, MIDI in/out, DIN Sync, and clock sync—no headphone jack, but perfect for desk or rack integration.

Beta testers and early users dig its authentic dirt and flexibility, especially the per-voice outputs for modular mangling, though some note the lack of onboard effects keeps it pure and mixer-focused.
