Tactile Sounds has announced the release of TS-808, a software emulation of the Roland TR-808 hardware drum machine. It was created by reference to the TR-808 service notes and extensive analysis of samples.

Details:

• TS-808 is a drum synth, not a sampler.
• Most of the voices have more parameters and a greater range than their hardware predecessors.
• All parameters can be automated.
• Remote control is available via host mapping or MIDI learn.
• There are 8 outputs.
• Each voice can be routed to any output.

TS-808 is free and is available for Windows as a VST instrument plug-in.
