Ever Wondered What a ‘Real Life’ 808 Would Look Like?

Artist Mortiz Simon Gesit hasn’t shy’d away from the challenge of creating a badass drumming robot modelled after Rolands classic bit of analog kit.

Even if the video is actually two years old this is the first we’ve seen it and doubly impressed he managed to bridge the old and new just so well while probably narrowing the debate of real instruments vs electronic synths.

His piece dubbed the ‘MR 808’ features most of the iconic sounds you could find tooling around on the original 808 all replicated with a cross section of instruments with everything from drums to cymbols and even horns all programmed and triggered through ableton.

The final output looks like a lot of fun that veteran producers could spend hours, days and weeks on!
