808

yeah it's pretty good

Is it true that people didn't care about these when they came out or is it some bullshit myth? I remember hearing some Juan Atkins interview where he said he couldn't wait to get one back in the early 80s because having a programmable drum machine was huge.

I think it was the 303 that was more a piece of cheap garbage in its day.

The 808 was only ever meant to be "affordable" in the sense that it was technically cheaper than a LinnDrum or an Oberheim DMX. The same way that a Jupiter 8 was "cheaper" than an OB-Xa in the day.

I'm a fan
wish I could afford one

They were immediately very popular and widely used.

Also it's not plastic.

Gotta get me one of these

Pretty much a gimmick now
Volca Beats are just as good and fraction of the price

I see the appeal in these new mini versions but it's not the same

It's more comparable to a 606.
