OCTA brings the legendary sound of classic analog TR-808 drum machines into the modular world, staying true to its original circuits while expanding their creative range.

With 4 independent voices, individual outs, drive CV control, tilt EQ, and compression, OCTA gives you full control over the tone and dynamics of your rhythm section.

Timeless Circuits. Modern additions.

OCTA stays faithful to the original TR-808 circuits, preserving their legendary analog warmth.

What’s new? Voices include some extra parameters for deeper shaping: Kick Tune, Snare Snap, Hat Tone… plus Drive to add saturation and character.

You get the timeless sound you love, with modern tools to shape it!

Drive & Dynamic Saturation

Each channel has its own set of knobs for tone shaping, plus a Volume/Drive control that not only sets the output level, but also adds soft clipping for more aggressive or textured sounds.

Drive is CV-controllable, giving you even more control over distortion and loudness.

Want more bite on your snare or a pulsing kick with a modulated edge? Just patch it in!

Independent Outputs & Channel Muting

Every voice comes with a dedicated trigger input, a mute switch, and its own audio output.

That means you can patch each drum separately, apply FX, or isolate them in a mix, and quickly kill any sound live without unplugging anything.

Tweak and route your drums like a real modular instrument, not just a drum box.

Master Tilt EQ & Compressor

All voices are summed into a master mix output, passing through a tilt EQ and compressor.

Shape the global tone with a single knob and compress your mix to keep things tight — or crunchy.

Bonus: a sidechain output lets you duck external signals to the beat.
