1 Big G! That seems steep, but I don't know what these usually go for. I'm looking for somthing similar to hit my DSD-2's.

http://cgi.ebay.com/Roland-TR-808-Drum-Machine_W0QQitemZ270519716143QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Drum_Machines_Grooveboxes?hash=item3efc3b492f

and the other auctions are going similarly. all the auctions in america still have 5 or more days left but they're already in the $700s.

useless if you ask me, because audio samples of the 808 are dirt cheap. in fact, i have every sound inside the 808, and i got it free!

but a digital sample of an analogue waveform is only so powerful.. if you take the genuine vintage output from a real 808 and run it through pitch-shifters and fx, it'll sound different than its modern copy. probably better IMO. Plus, owning a nifty part of music history would be interesting - the venerable and famous TR-808. Gimme a TB-303 while you're at it.

I have to admit that I'm a bit of a purist when it comes to analogue percussion... mostly the older units, because they have just enough inherent instability to make things interesting. I love my old DR-55, even though it hardly does anything, because it has that pleasant roughness and shifts ever so slightly tonally as it plays. The sounds seem to interact more than when using samples. I used to use samples of analogue drum sounds, before I got the machines, and sometimes there's not much difference, if any - but when there is, that's the reason to use the real thing.

I'd really like an 808... am currently signed up for a clone kit which should be fun. It'll go with my 9090.
