@qone1200 Thank you ..please search 'Red Martian' on itunes for my band's recordings. We also have vinyl on ebay right now. Search for 'Red Martian vinyl' and 'Red Martian acetate'. Thank you for the support.
i own both the TR-808 and acidlab miami. i can confirm that it is a very very good reproduction (probably the best ever made) with a very clean design. the main differences are (to me): the miami is slighty less crisp on the claps (sharper attack on 808?) and a tiny bit more softness on the snare (you can hear it on this video too). for a pair of untrained ears, it is however nearly impossible to hear the difference. the bass is miami's strong point: definitely better than 808!
You know what? I though to myself, holy shit, that sounds NOTHING like a TR-808... But then I realized one thing. I'm SOO used to shitty digital samples of the 808, that I COMPLETELY forget sometimes the TRUE sound of an 808. This one sounds pretty close to a TRUE 808. Two things that bother me though... The Claps sound off, and I've heard the Rimshots before in other videos. Just... not authentic. Everything else is good, though.
So it says your triggering the arpeggio played by the Jupiter-4 with the Miami.. does this mean you can use the Miami as a midi sequencer to other equipment? I think it'd be great to hook it up to my Voyager.
Also, is this pretty much a straight clone to the 808 or is there any more functionality in terms of sounds? I'm looking at the Miami and the Bassline 2, but I have'nt seen any demos or anything of how you can alter sounds with the Miami, ie pitch, cutoff, etc.
I have a Jomox xbase999. I love the sound but I hate the overly-complicated user interface. This looks like a nice clean, simple interface compared with the 999. Is that the case or is it a buggy ball-ache like the Jomox?
Its a TR-808 like drum machine. Its quite similar, but its hard to say its exactly like a TR-808 without getting people angry. I'd say it sounds good and is a great analogue drum machine that is easy to use.
PLEASE tell me the snappiness was just turned down on the snare drum...that is really important. I want an 808 but I have NO money for a real one...a clone would be nice though.
I've had my TR-808 for 20+ years. I can't say the Miami sounds just like the 808, but its a damn good drum machine with extra features that the 808 would need to be modified to have. I would take the Miami over any 808 sample library.
DUDE...nice

I want this machine. I'd love to have a TR-808, but this one sounds just as nice. Thank you Redmartian for this bit of Synth-porn! :-)

Check out "Cowboy and the SVC-350 Vocoder". I used the rev 1 on that. But I will make a video of just the rev 1 at some point.
