Tiptop Audio - HATS808 TR808 Hi-Hats Generator

The Tiptop Audio - HATS808 TR808 Hi-Hats Generator is one original remake of the classic Roland drum machines that have changed the sound of electronic music forever. They took years of development. We usually say the the 808 and 909 series modules at Tiptop Audio do not sound like the classics. We dare say that they actually sound better compared to some of the original's series they are integrated into your eurorack modular system.

Introducing the Tiptop Audio - HATS808 TR808 Hi-Hats Generator, part of Tiptop Audio's new series of drum modules that brings analog percussion into the modular synth world, instantly turning your system into a self-contained music machine.

The hats808 is the tr-808's real, analog closed and open hi-hat circuits adapted for use in eurorack modular synthesizer format and was tested to sound like it did back in the 80's. Adapting to modular format has allowed us to add some special features for each voice like independent accent levels, a high-powered gain stage, and a dual-input pulse-shaper. Filter q and vc-q knobs were added to the main band-pass filter for additional tuning and to allow you to generate crushed tones and self-oscillation at the knob's max position - all without compromising the signature sound of the tr-808 hi-hats.

The hats808 sizzling sound is made using six analog square wave oscillators mixed and processed by band-pass filters. This multi-oscillator design is what gives the 808 hi-hat sounds their unique metallic character and makes each hats808 sound slightly different from one another. The original 'choke' circuitry that makes it sound so dynamic and tight is fully implemented, just like the original, but can also be disabled if needed by disconnecting the internal connection between the two hats.

Just like the other drums in this series, the hats808 high-powered output gain stage allows you to further harmonize the sound using distortion and clipping. On each input, the manufacturers have included a dual pulse-shaper circuit so you can trigger your hats808 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. All these unique features make integrating this legendary sound generator into your modular synth easy, unleashing the power of real analog drums.
