Essentially a re-packaged Drum Station, the v2 has a new look that matches the theme of the Super Bass Station. Just like the Drum Station it employs analog Sound Modeling - digitally synthesized models of the original waveforms which can be shaped, just like analog. You can adjust the tone, attack, decay, tuning, snap, and distortion of its drum tones. It includes all of the sounds found in the original 808 and 909's, the same tone controls for each drum part, and my favorite is the DIN Sync output which will allow you to sync a TB-303, 909, or 808 to it - just like the original boxes.

This is the perfect source for believable, tweakable 808 and 909 drums! It also features modern functions such as full MIDI implementation and control of all parameters, distortion, front-cut edits, note-off programming, programmable drum kits with 40 memory locations, and general-midi drum mapping. Plus there are multiple assignable individual outputs! It is used by Josh Wink.

When I got this, I liked it a lot, because it sounded better than expected. But it never sounded quite right, so I got rid of it. Now I've got a jomox airbase 99, and I must say, the drumstation sounds like a vst instrument run on a computer with a so-so soundcard by comparison. If you are satisfied with the sound coming out of an electribe er1, you'll love this. If however your ears are sensitive to the subtle yet infinite differences between true analog and analog emulations, then don't buy this. If you can get the drumstation for 100$ or an airbase for 600$, the airbase is still a much better deal by far.

This is one of the better deals out there for a 808 909 clone. it sounds spot on to a 808 or 909. you are missing the great interface the boxs had but the price makes up for it. however you can always pick up a korg er1 like alot of people do and youll come real close. very raw you would be wise to get a comp. but for the money(right now about 250-300) its a steal compared to overpriced and less stable electron and jomox stuff.
