Test drive the Roland TR-808 Software Rhythm Composer and all of our TR-808 patch collections from August 8th to 31st, for free with a Roland Account—no membership required.*



Celebrate the Storied Past of the Roland TR-808 on its 40th Anniversary!

The Only Official 808 Plugin
Roland invented the 808, and now we’ve brought it to life in your DAW.

Painstaking Modeling
Using our proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior technology, we’ve recreated the original analog circuits that are the essence of the TR-808’s distinct sound, so your tracks have that classic boom, snap, and sizzle.

Modern Features To Bring Your Tracks To Life  
We’ve added some extra features not found on the original 808. Now you have a fully-featured edit window, sub-outs with no cables and you can even drag patterns right from the plugin to your DAW project!

Download Roland Cloud Manager, Signup for a FREE Roland Account, and Install the AU, AAX, or VST TR-808 Plugin!
 

 

*Test Drive is a time based activation of the TR-808 instrument and patch collections. After August 31st, access to the TR-808 will only be available as a Lifetime Key purchase or in Pro or Ultimate memberships.
