It's almost here: a faithful recreation of the classic analog drum machine of the 1980s reformatted into a 60 HP Eurorack module. It couples the 16 analog drum voices of the original to an enhanced TR-style step sequencer.

If you've been waiting over a year sine it was first announced then you'll need to wait a bit longer still to get hands on with a unit... but you can pre-order one now!

The first production run is underway and pre-orders are now open. Delivery of the first units is expected late 2018 and early 2019. The 880 is $975 USD + shipping. Sign up to the pre-order list. More details on the 880's product page.

There's a preview of the 880 in action in the 850 demo video. Friend and beta-tester Biologik also recorded a quick jam with his demo unit:

More audio and video demos are coming soon.
