The RS808 comes with two switches that give a total of four different positions: Two are the classic Rimshot and Claves sounds as found on the TR-808 and two are unique to the RS808 module, adding a range of snappy ‘click’ sounds the circuit is capable of producing. Two control knobs were added, each having a different effect for the selected sound. In general, these controls can be categorised as Pitch and Snap as they control the frequency of the oscillator and decay of the envelope generator. The RS808’s circuitry was designed to sound like a factory fresh TR-808 from the 80’s.

In line with the other drum modules from Tiptop, the RS808 features a hot modular level output gain stage capable of producing signals that can be easily distorted if desired. The inputs feature a dual-input pulse-shaper circuit so you can trigger the RS808 with trigger/gate signals from step sequencers, clock dividers, or any other pulse/clock source. This eliminates the need to shape pulses sent to the module ensuring the same stable sound at peak power, regardless of your pulse source.
