Can't wait for the 909 kick/snare. It's looking like I'm going to need a dedicated row just for all these drums.  |

This is the one I'm waiting for. Such an efficent, usable sound. Fits in a busy mix much easier than the 808 most of the time IMHO.
Nice snare too. And clap. And cymbals, hats, swing, toms..... Argh! Anyone got a spare 909???
Hahaha |
Agreed, I'm pumped about the 909 modules. I'm Probably going to get the 808 BD too, but I sort of think of it as an effect more than a kick, at least at longer release settings. I bet the 808 toms/congas will be sweet. |

I know! Screw the 808 clap or any more secondary 808 sounds for now... bring on the 909 KICK NEXT!
..I'm just going to get the 808 and 909 kick and snares and a little Doepfer minicase... nice, simple, cheap, only 4 modules.
...and then just send pulse-samples from my mpc60 to triger dem. Just 4 modules, the rest of the 909/808 sounds I don't use much anyways and switch to different samples sounds (I dont want all my songs to always have the same percs), and if I do need the other sounds I can just use samples. But the BD/kick is def needed, since it is so easily heard and the backbone of 4/4 jams. I aint a module head, and kinda scared if I get a bigger rack than the mini-case, I am sure I will keep buying modules lol (which I am trying to avoid - always avoiding GAS..GASing for the TipTop modules is already bad enough lol) _________________ http://soundcloud.com/edgar-m

Don't remember if this was asked before - what are the jumpers for? Didn't find anything about it in the manuals. _________________ music • dj mixes • eurorack video tutorials • bug |

is it normal for the power cable to plug into only one column of pins on the BD808 ? mine arrived with just one column of pins for the power cable
if its normal, does it matter which side of the power cable you put the single column of pins into? |

Yes, eurorack power uses the both rows of the header in parallel - so you can safely move the power plug to the normal position, covering both rows.
Just make sure you have the plug around the right way of course!
*** EDIT: ah, I see... with the photos posted below, looks like TT have gone with single row power headers on these babies. All good! ***

Hats arrived yesterday.. amazingly good sizzling fun.
Love the hats choke circuit.. the individual accent ins.. individual outs for filtering, folding, eq'ing.. Had some fun starting at 6.30 am(!) this morning patching up a faux sideband compressor with the multed BD out through an envelope follower -> inverter -> vca.
Haven't lost this much sleep over the modular for a while  |

Not sure what they are on the BD or SD, but on the hats you can disable the choke mode when both hats are played by changing the jumper.  |

| Got all three 808's now, and I'm quite excited! I just love their sound, and they're a perfect mate for my Timetable. |
