And among those plug-ins, Serum is honestly my favorite one. Since we covered the TR-808 drum machine emulations quite well, for now, it’s time to talk about plug-ins that can help you to create insane 808s. This VST, however, is finally the version they initially wanted to make. The special part? While inventing the hardware 808, the team around Tadao Kikumoto had to accept a set of limitations to keep the pricing reasonable. RC-808 (short for Re-Create the 808), is another interesting addition to the list since it was made by the same engineers that invented the original unit decades ago. However, just like the Revolution library, it’s based on samples, so you won’t be able to tweak sounds as detailed, which probably shouldn’t be a big deal for most producers. If you don’t want to spend any money, the RVK-808 VST by Electronik Sound Lab might be a better fit for your budget compared to the previous options. The great part? Revolution doesn’t only come with sounds from 1 drum machine, no, it contains sounds from 14 different hardware units. It’s not a standalone plug-in, but since it can be used with the free Kontakt player you don’t need to purchase any additional software. Next up is the Revolution Kontakt library by Wave Alchemy. It comes with a similar interface, a similar sound, and a price of €99, which is obviously significantly cheaper than the original unit would cost. If you don’t want to pay monthly for your tools and would rather go for a one-time fee, the D16 Group Nepheton plug-in should get the job done as well. The entire Roland Cloud comes with a few different pricing options starting at $9.99 a month (if you want the TR-808 VST included). It comes with all the features the original unit provides, plus some additional functions you’ll only get with this plugin. Let’s go! TR-808 by Roland Cloudįirst up in this list is the TR-808 plugin, made by the brand that released the original thing years ago. So since both of these (quite different) things can be described under the term 808, you’ll find both Roland TR-808 VSTs, but also plugins that can help you to create insane bass sounds in this post.
One of its unique features is the very long kick drum, which eventually resulted in a lot of Trap producers calling their sub-basses 808s as well. Roland’s TR-808 is one of, if not THE best-known drum synth around the whole world.
