Are you talking about the original Nepheton or the upcoming version 2?
Did you A/B it with your hardware TR-808?
No I've not done scientific A/B tests. I'm going based off the video demos they showed of Nepheton 2. It sounds like generic synth drums, its not obviously an 808.
So you don't own an 808 and are forming your opinion based only on videos. Ok got it.... :roll:

Why not wait until version 2 drops and actually try the plugin before forming your opinion?

Also, I can't understand how it DOESN'T sound like an 808!

There's obviously some treatment going on with the effects in some patches but the basic sound is pure 808. :shrug:

And that's coming from someone whose dad bought an 808 in 1982.

Sounds a lot like an 808 to me. I don't give two sh!ts if it sounds exactly like one. All I care is that it sounds close enough and sounds good.

Literally no one listening to any music made with it will care about any slight lack of pure fidelity to the original. No reason I should either.

If i EVER hear it used on a track in a nightclub i'm bloody well going home and unfollowing anyone repsonsible for it on social media. And i'm never leaving home again. And i'm gonna cut off my ears.

Like with all emulations, I hope it's as close to the original as the developers manage. ;)

I heard they are emulating the Behringer.

The mkII wouldn't be a bad idea. Old 808s can sound very different.

Surely there must be consensus by now...
