Analog Mafia has released the new RC-808-PLG, a new free Roland TR-808 inspired drum machine plugin for PC/Mac on the 808 day.
This plugin is so interesting because of two points: on the one hand, it is coded by the former developer of the hardware Roland TR-808 drum machine and on the other hand, it’s much more than just an 808 emulation.
Overview
Initially, the TR-808/909/TB-606 was created as a drum Synthesizer, not as a drum machine. This consisted of a very complex drum synthesis engine. In the end, however, this engine never found its way into today’s legendary products, but a very stripped-down version. Even without this, the devices became legendary. The developers have now built this engine into a free VST / AU drum machine and made it accessible to everyone. So the plugin now has the original engine that was never published.
With one click on the drum trigger, you get access to a huge synthesis engine that gives you everything in your hands for designing your own drum sounds. The sound source of RC-808-PLG employs DCO which is in this case Down Chirp Oscillator, combined with a noise source that outputs various kinds of noises including metallic noises. There is also an infinite point waveshaper, a variable filter bank, infinite point envelope generators etc.

The RC-808 doesn’t use samples at all, it’s all pure synthesis magic. With a maximum 8 partials per voice, it allows sound designing in subtractive synthesis manner which is familiar to all, and yet still with vast outer space beckoning to be discovered. Each of its 16 instruments to have a synthesizing power equivalent of that of a System-700 modular synth – all that magnitude just for one single instrument. Multiply that by 16, and you’ll get the idea about the scale of the original intention by the engineers.
Because we are independent from Roland Corporation, they nor we can not answer to any kind of inquiries about us and our deliverables including this website. Thank you so much for your understanding and cooperation for everything.
It looks like the former developers of the TR series have developed a nice free plugin here. A kind of Roland Cloud TR-808 alternative but free and even more authentic because it comes from original developers who worked on the devices at the time. I think it’s nice that you can now play and experiment with the actual engine of the TR-808 yourself. To all developers who develop TR-808 clones, please think a little further and bring one with this power. This could be the next-gen hardware 808.

Roland has launched 808303.studio, a free browser-based music-making platform that emulates the sequencing workflow of the original TR-808 and TR-303 hardware.
The new 808303.studio is free to access in any internet browser. It’s a web-based music instrument based on Roland’s classic TR-808 drum machine and TB-303 bass synthesizer. The two legendary instruments are presented in a very simplified format, of course, but that’s not to say that 808303.studio isn’t fun to jam with.
The instrument’s interface is separated into two sections. The 808 drum machine is on the left, and the 303 bassline synthesizer is on the right. The devices will play in sync at all times, so it’s super easy to get a quick acid jam going. The tempo and shuffle for both devices are controlled by the 808.
As for the virtual 808, there is no way to modify the drum sounds. It’s just a sequencer that uses (presumably) 808 samples as the sound source. The sequencer has eleven drum channels and one additional channel for controlling the accent.
You can build drum sequences from the ground up or use the AI-Variation mode to build a sequence based on your initial input. Another useful feature is the Fill button, which will trigger one of the several built-in fills after the current sequence loop has finished.
808303.studio is a new online music creation platform created by Yuri Suzuki and Roland, which features Roland’s innovative Step Sequencer technique, as well as emulating the sound of the original TR-808 drum machine and TB-303 bass synthesizer. It is a professional sounding online musical interface, which records your masterpieces and allows you to share your creations through social media, messaging and also as a download.

The virtual 303, on the other hand, does offer some hands-on control over its sounds. The user can tweak the filter cutoff, resonance, and the envelope (attack, release, and modulation depth). It is also possible to adjust the accent amount, but I couldn’t figure out how to edit which steps are accented. Finally, there’s the ever-useful Random button, which instantly spits out a fresh bassline with a single click.
The performance seems to be pretty consistent in different browsers, as I didn’t run into any bugs while testing in Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge. The performance was slightly sluggish on my less powerful laptop, though, so it’s best to use a computer with a bit more CPU juice.
What’s really cool, however, is that 808303.studio will work in mobile browsers, too. Most of the functionality is there, except for the envelope controls missing in the 303 when the screen is vertical.
Here’s how 808303.studio looks in a mobile browser on Android.
So, there’s something for you to do instead of scrolling through Instagram during your next commute (if you’re not working from home, that is). To be honest, I think Roland should make this little device available as a mobile app, too.
You can access 808303.studio for free in your browser. It doesn’t require signing up, so just follow the link below and get your groove on.
