TipTop Audio MA808 Overview

Turn your modular into a self-contained music machine with the Tiptop Audio MA808, a Eurorack module featuring the original 808 analog maracas drum voice as well as a white noise generator. The MA808 is an exact reproduction of the original circuit, which sounds like a fresh machine coming off the assembly line back in the '80s.

The module features an attack knob that turns the sound from a sharp edged hi-hat and up to a slow rise exponential attack maracas sound (dot on the scale indicates the original 808 set position). The MA808 also provides the continuous analog white noise generator of the 808 machine: a full spectrum of harmonics ideal for use as a starting point for patching your own drum sound or for general use of white noise. The module ships with a ribbon power cable.

At a Glance

Fluffy, harmonically rich presence that greatly enhances the dynamics of hi-hat sounds in the groove

Compatible with all the other Tiptop drums in this series
Includes a hot modular level output gain stage
Dual input pulse-shaper circuit allows you to trigger the MA808 with trigger/gate signals from step sequencers, clock dividers or any other pulse/clock sources. This eliminates the need to shape pulses sent to the module and ensures the same stable sound at peak power, regardless of your pulse source
