Good sound and nice extra features
s0ren 18.08.2023
The sound is good and instantly gives off 808 vibes as expected. Programming is easier than on the original in my opinion, and there are a few extra sound shaping options which are very handy. Was worried if it would be worth it compared to using 808 samples as I did until now, but for me the answer to that is a clear "yes". The sound is nicer somehow, and the sound shaping parameters change the sound in a way that sounds much more "original" than what I can accomplish with plain sample manipulation. I think both approaches have their usefulness and charm, so I am happy to have both options now.
I was very torn about whether I should get a Vermona DRM1, but even though the DRM1 is a lovely instrument and more versatile in regards to sound shaping (almost blasphemic to compare them, I know), the classic 808 sound and the sequencer on the RD-8 won me over. Maybe I will regret it later, but until then I am happy with my choice.

Only minor nags are that the output volume is a little low, and that one of the rubber feet are a tiny bit shorter than the others, making it wobble a little bit.

walks the walk
lerosa 22.08.2023
never owned the og but had a tr8 and a tr08 and while they were fun they didn't sound as good as this, the poly rhythm option, on the fly step and note repeat, quick mutes are all great extras, a fun machine to interact with on the fly.
