Tiptop Audio HATS808 TR808 Hi-Hats Drum Generator w/ 4 Cables

Introducing the HATS808, part of Tiptop'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 tested to sound just like it did back in the 80's. Adapting to the modular format has allowed us to add some special features to each voice like independent accent levels, a high-powered fain stage, and a dull-input pulse-shaper. Filter Q and CV-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. The 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.
