This is the first true TR-808 / 909 clone! Unlike the rest which use only samples, the Drum Station employs analog Sound Modeling - digitally synthesized models of the original waveforms which can be shaped, just like analog. This means 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's used by Orbital, Laurent Garnier, and Hardfloor.

To date the best digital 808/909 clone I've ever heard, the sounds is incredibly punchy, clean and organic and it really cuts through and shines in your mix, its worth the price for the kick drums alone but the other sounds really are something too and SHOULD be thoroughly utilized, an underrated machine and a total steal on the used market today, if you love 808/909 but can't afford the originals or a Jomox 888/999 then this is your golden ticket, hook it up to a sequencer and shiver to its amazing OOMPH :)

@Victor: I found the key to the problem: I am using a midi pathcbay - Drumstation does not like this one bit. If I connect the Drumstation diretly to the sequencer it works.

@Victor: You state that not receiving midi signal is a common problem? Do you have an y documentation to back that up? I've just received mine and it does not respond to midi :( I've been trying everything setupwise to make it work - but it doesn't :(
