We say...
808 drums never go out of style, and this is a brilliantly affordable way to get those classic drum sounds in your modular, along with a few carefully chosen extra features.
Manufacturer's description
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.
Analog Core
OCTA stays faithful to the original TR-808 circuits, preserving their legendary analog warmth. What’s new? Voices include some extra parameters: 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 includes dedicated tone-shaping controls, plus a Volume/Drive knob that adds soft clipping and character. Drive is CV-controllable and when a CV is patched in, the Drive knob becomes an attenuator for the incoming signal.
Performance ready
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. Want more bite on your snare or a pulsing kick with a modulated edge? Just patch it in!
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.
- Width: 18HP
- Depth: 40mm
- Power: 100 mA +12V / 115 mA -12V / 0 mA 5V

Pre-orders
If a product is listed as a pre-order, it means we've ordered it from the supplier but it's not physically in stock yet.

If you place an order containing a mixture of in-stock and pre-order items, we'll normally hold off on shipping anything until the pre-order item(s) have arrived, rather than splitting it into multiple shipments. If you need the in-stock items sooner, we'd recommend placing separate orders. As always, please get in touch at info@signalsounds.eu if you have questions.
