I cannot afford, nor want a real TR-808(maintenance etc) but I want a hardware equivalent soundwise. Cheaper is better but not the most important factor...

Narrowed down the options to

Novation Drum Station, Drum Station V2 or D Station.(Secondhand market)

AcidLab Miami

Tempest??!! - I've heard an awesome 808 sound coming from this - but is that 808 kit tweakable like the real deal or static presets, I've only just learnt Tempest is a hybrid, Analog Drum Synth and Sample player.

Quasimidi 309 - one for sale in Marketplace on KVR, good option?

Arturia Spark/Le Hardware - now dismissing this now as the 808 isn't that close on this unit/software. Great product otherwise...

Anything else I've missed?

Please no software only equivalents(D16 etc, got them)! Wink Also if the machine does full 808 and goes above and beyond that(i.e. 909/Linn Drum or actual synthesize from scratch etc), then that is a real bonus!

Here is the interface.
I know you said no soft,
but I thought I'd mention this-
I'd love one

That's fine, but not what I'm after myself after checking it out, I do all sequencing within my daw!

I was hoping it was a dedicated controller for Nepheton actually! That would be interesting!

I know an artist who uses one for Electro Funk music, it sounds 808ish but modern on his tunes, I'd wrote this off as I thought it couldn't nail 808, just get in a similar ball park,

Can it nail 808, including Rim, Clap and COWBELL!? Wink

So I was showing interest in this a little...

this video is what made me put it on the list - It's a nice drum machine - doesn't perfectly nail the sound but good enough really as a great alternative.

Oh, so it has an 808 mode where samples are used also for them sounds?

How close are kick and snare?

Arturia Spark Hardware

Of this list, I'd say the Tempest or Spark. I'd go Spark, myself.
