808 Lab transforms the classic TR-808 drum machine into a chromatic instrument, allowing you to play its iconic sounds in key with your music. Each drum sound has been precisely tuned, enabling seamless integration of 808 basslines and melodies within your piano roll. This approach elevates the traditional 808 experience by providing musical flexibility beyond standard rhythm patterns.

Unlike the original hardware, 808 Lab offers full control over the tonal characteristics of each drum sound through an intuitive interface. You can easily select, shape, and modify sounds to fit your production needs, adding saturation, reverb, and amplitude adjustments to craft unique textures. This user-friendly design empowers producers to customize classic 808 elements with modern sound-shaping tools.

The TR-808 has been a staple in music history, used by legendary artists across various genres. 808 Lab captures the essence of all 16 original 808 sounds in a 64-bit plugin compatible with contemporary systems. It is optimized for Windows and macOS, requiring modest system resources, making it accessible for producers seeking authentic 808 sounds with enhanced control and musicality.
