Roland TR-808 Inspired Eurorack Module!

The Roland TR-808 is one of the most, if not THE most coveted and heralded drum machines of all time. Here’s a great opportunity to build your very own authentic 808 in Eurorack form with the ER-808 Drum Machine PCB and Panel. The kit contains a front panel and set of PCBs to get you off the mark, putting you on an epic path to a soldering and sound adventure!

The entire unit is composed of 14 individual modules which plug into a common bus PCB. The drum machine has a built in sequencer and is driven by a PIC Microcontroller – with two button variations; one with capacitive touch panels and another with push buttons to program the beat! This advanced build comes with 15 high-quality PCBs, a programmed PIC microcontroller and 1 front panel only – requiring you to source the components in order to build the modules. Here’s what a finished build looks like in profile:

The seller has provided build instructions and BOMs to make sure you are supported along the way. The ER-808 is sold by PM Foundations who are based in Lakeland Florida, offering a small selection of modualr kits and eurorack builds for your setup.
