From classic R&B and Hip-Hop to Rock and Pop music the TR-808 has been used by artists ranging from Marvin Gaye and Tupac to Pink and Phoenix. Although the TR-808 sounds are still widely used, most producers and artists are forced to arrange individual recordings from the original unit as the rarity, price and inability to fully integrate the machine into modern production environments have kept it out of reach.

Revolution-808 Features
- Intuitive user interface that mimics that actual hardware (Kontakt format)
- 7 Layers of Round Robin sampling for unique variations between individual drum hits
- Available for Kontakt, EXS24 and all hardware and software samplers that support WAV format
- Extremely Long sample lengths which preserve the natural sustain of the drums without truncation
- Sampled at 24bit 96kHz
- Over 3600 unique samples which cover every possible tonal variation of the original TR-808.
