KEEP IN MIND: There's no single, definitive 808 or 909 for the TR-8 to replicate. Each 808/909 is tuned somewhat differently and also has a different tone, due to parts and aging. So any differences exist between real 808s and 909s as well.



In this video I compare the Aira Tr-8 and the Tr-808. This is an unibased comparison. I am not being paid by any companies. Keep in mind that most differences are related to tuning . It is difficult to get the tuning 100 percent. The tuning knobs are VERY sensitive on the TR-8 Each 808 is different and mine is no exception. In fact Mine has a longer decay on the kick than most and my snare and cowbell are tuned high. Also, i did not go through every drum sound because it would require lots of time adjusting volume levels on the fly. one cannot simply mute/unmute the 808. Enjoy!

******Update 10/14
After playing the tr 808 and tr-8 side by side for 6 months I can honestly say the TR-808 sounds BETTER by a good amount. The 808 has a more random feel due to the analog circuits than the Tr-8s emulation. The Tr-8 sounds a bit samey samey
Also the tr-808 has a harder hitting edgier sound. The Tr-8 sounds more tame and sample-y. The Tr-8 just needs a less polished sound and better random circuit randomization to the algorithm.
