TipTop Audio SD808 Snare Drum Eurorack Module (4 HP, Black)

TipTop Audio SD808 BK Overview

Turn your modular system into a self-contained music machine with the Tiptop Audio SD808, a Eurorack module featuring the original 808 analog snare-drum circuit. Adapting the circuit to the modular format has allowed for bonus special features like independent accent level, a high-powered gain stage, an input pulse-shaper, and an adjustable noise source, all without compromising the signature sound of the TR-808 snare drum.

The SD808 sounds tight and extremely snappy, because you can control the VCA envelope amplitude. The sound is made with three analog sound generators mixed together: two oscillating sine waves and a noise source. The SD808's front-panel controls have a lot of sweet spots, with sounds that are not just limited to snare drum sounds. It can also create other electronic percussive elements. The module ships with a ribbon power cable.

At a Glance
  • Original TR-808 analog snare-drum circuit adapted for use in Eurorack modular synthesizer format
  • Designed to sound like a fresh out-of-the-box '80s TR-808 snare
  • Independent accent levels
  • High-powered gain stage
  • Dual-input pulse-shaper
  • Adjustable noise source
  • SD808 is not just limited to snare drum sounds; it can also create other electronic percussive elements
The Making of the SD808
The noise source generator in the original TR-808 machines was revised in later production batches, resulting in variations in sound across the production run. The SD808 used this later revised circuit to create a snare hit that is slightly darker, has more body, and is more realistic.
Advanced Circuits
  • Like other drums in this series, the SD808 includes a high-powered output gain stage capable of producing signals up to 20 V p-p, allowing you to get an array of harmonized snare drums sounds with even tighter attacks.Ā 
  • On the inputs, Tiptop Audio designed an 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.Ā 
  • 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 module
  • Maximum depth: 0.6" (14mm)
  • Includes power ribbon cable with Eurorack power headers
  • Power consumption: +12V, 18mA; -12V, 16mA

Items Included

  • TipTop Audio SD808 Snare Drum Eurorack Module (4 HP, Black)
