MVM: Roland TR-808

Posted 07 May 2012 | Post   

Although today’s video isn’t necessarily a “music video” in the traditional sense, I felt that it was more than appropriate to to spend today discussing the Roland TR-808 and how deeply it has penetrated every corner of the music industry.  It’s funny because the term “808″ has become such a widely used, and characteristic term amongst musicians and producers, yet very few people who use the classic sounds that it has been credited for, have ever owned one, or even seen what a physical Roland TR-808 looks like.  This video explains everything so stylishly, that I had to share.
