If you build a modular synth, you get a bass drum voice here that clones the Roland TR-808 kick. You get controls for Level, Tone, Decay and Accent, so you can shape the hit yourself. It suits you if you want that classic 808 kick in your own modular rig.

If you want the bass drum from the classic TR-909, this module gives you that drum in a modular rack. You get controls for Attack, Decay, Tune Decay, Accent and Level, plus extra tuning and a VC input for more range. It suits you if you already run a Eurorack setup and want a 909-style kick.

You get an analogue maracas voice based on the TR-808 drum machine. The original switching element has an extra Attack control, so you can shape the hit. At 4 HP wide, it fits into a small modular rig, which makes it a good pick if you want a classic 808-style shaker sound in a Eurorack setup.

If you want the classic TR-909 clap sound in a modular rig, this module is made for that. It copies the original analog circuit closely and adds one extra knob, Trash, that extends the sound. At 4 HP wide, it fits easily into a Eurorack case.

You get a small Eurorack drum module with eight sound types and three knobs for each one. It suits you if you already have a Eurorack case and want quick drum sounds you can shape by hand or control with voltage from other modules. At 3 HP wide, it takes up very little room in your rack.

The Bass Drum2 is a powerhouse for anyone needing a truly impactful, customizable bass drum in their modular system.

It suits you if you already have a modular rig and want that classic 909 hi-hat sound.

You get an analog snare drum voice here, a clone of the TR-909 snare built from a binary noise generator and two oscillators with triangular waveform.

It suits you if you build a modular system and want a classic TR-909 style snare in a compact 8 HP panel.

You get three toms in one 16 HP Eurorack module, so you can build a drum voice without using three separate modules. Each tom has its own pitch, decay and tune controls, plus jacks for triggers, accents and audio out.
