I have the plugin over a year but decided today is the day I'm either gonna read the manual or what a video about it. It became the latter and it was a wise choice. Thank you for the video, nu-trix the synth guy (and off-course Roland)
Great video! I was waiting for you to use your TR-8S to control the plugin, too. I was surprised when my TR-8 is already mapped to most of the plugin's features.
I would love to have each drum as a seprate AU/VST Instrument. So in Ableton I could make a drum rack and load the BD on one pad, the SD to another pad and so forth. So I can use lives powerfull drum sequencer and effects more intuitive. I don’t like to route the outputs
You can do this in ableton by creating an drum rack and routing the MIDI from the rack into the 808 plugin. In order to prevent routing the outputs in the future, you could create an instrument rack/template so that you can drag it all into ableton every time without setting it all up again.
It takes 23 minutes and 47 seconds to get there, but at 23:47 he shows how to drag the pattern into your DAW's step sequencer as editable notes. It's an egregiously unintuitive design -- you click and drag the green lettered buttons.
So how do we access the Control Change Function on the TR 808 plug-in? I want to change the pitch of the Bass Drum, which I believe is CC# 20 (page 8 in the TR 808 manual). Is this possible in a DAW, or do I need something like the TR-8S to actually do this.
It is so frustrating not to be able to program this 808 by playing the Instrument keys or via a MIDI keyboard direct into the plug in. You could do the former with the original. It is no fun programming a pattern in a pattern sequencer window like this. It's the same with the Roland Cloud 909. Such a disappointment.
I need a little help here. My tr808 seems to be stuck on pattern “A”. I shift click to enable “B” but it still just loops the “A” pattern. When I shift click “B” looks like it turns on green but it still just loops the first pattern. Any suggestions?
Mine is doing the same exact thing. I've been looking around for hours and haven't found a solution. It's discouraging that it's been a year and Roland still haven't even acknowledged your question.
Hi. Just like any plugin instrument you can create MIDI patterns to send to the TR-808. First, turn off "Position Lock to DAW" in the Roland TR-808's graphical user interface, you can do the following: Click Option. Uncheck Position Lock to DAW from the drop-down menu. Disabling "Position Lock to DAW" allows the TR-808's pattern to play from a MIDI region in the DAW's track. This is necessary if you want to record MIDI separately on each of the TR-808's drum tracks. When "Position Lock to DAW" is enabled, the MIDI notes play from the TR-808's drum sequencer and sync with the DAW's playback.
No, not really. I'm trying it out in FL right now and it's very clunky and frustrating to get anything done. There are several points in this "tutorial" where the plugin behaves VERY differently than what is shown on video.
This plugin is absolutely amazing. Closest thing to an 808 you can get
Agree. I used to own an original years ago. This is definitely one of the best and good enough if you can’t get an original one.
I only recently grabbed this plugin so this is super helpful thx.
Glad it helped! Thanks for the feedback. 🤟

Thats awesome! 🙌
You are a life saver. Very detailed, greatly explained, truly passionate about your art. Keep it up Man.
Thank you for the excellent tutorial! So helpful.
Thank you for making this video.
Great video. Used to own the original 808. This is great if you can’t get an original.
Appreciate the feedback! Thank you for giving it a try. 🤘
can you add more drum kits as well

This was very useful, thanks!

muchas gracias por el video es genial
awesome thanks
Thank you very usefull
Informative
So how do we access the Control Change Function on the TR 808 plug-in? I want to change the pitch of the Bass Drum, which I believe is CC# 20 (page 8 in the TR 808 manual). Is this possible in a DAW, or do I need something like the TR-8S to actually do this.
Still have sync problem when loopback occurs between LEFT and RIGHT indicators with Reason Studios
Thanks for all ! can you trigger in Cubase 12 an external Drum synth (Alesis D4) via midi?
How do I configure the Multi-Out in Cubase 12?
How would you compare this to the UVI Prime 8 version???

You can. Most drums start at C0 or C1
@@youknowwhoiam6484 ? Yes but you can't record the notes into the 808's sequencer via MIDI. Only into the DAW.
Yes you can you have to enable sub output
You're referring to the big yellow button on the right side of the original drum machine, right? I agree. Very strange

So it can replicate the 808 sound, or it can’t? First you said it cannot, then you said it’s actually better. Confusing.
CLAV-AY
I dont get it, how do I use this throughout a whole song?

Is compatible with FL ?
yes

Nah the next best thing to the real thing would be the RD8 😜

Anyone can twist the knobs. You wasted my time. You didn't show how to program it
