Designing Roland TR-808 Mods for Doctor Mix – Synthchaser #136

Claudio from Doctor Mix has been busy repairing and modding his Roland TR-808 drum machine and asked if I could help design some mods for the hand claps. In this video I show you my approach to designing mods, and give a little introduction to RC time constants, which are used in all analog synthesis circuits.

See and hear the mods I came up with in action in the new Doctor Mix video here, and be sure to subscribe to the awesome Doctor Mix channel!

Here are the instructions for the TR-808 Hand Clap mods I designed.  I’ll keep this up to date with any feedback received.
