Description
The HATS808 is a real analogue closed and open hi-hat circuits adapted for use in Eurorack modular synthesizer format and teste to sound just like it did back in the 80’s. Adapting to modular format has allowed TipTop to add some special features for each voice like independent accent levels, a high-powered gain stage and dual input pluse-shaper. Filter Q and VC-Q knobs were added to the main band-pass filter for additional tuning and to allow you to generate crushed tones and self-oscillation at the knob’s max position, all without compromising the signature sound of the 80’s style hi hat.
The HATS808 sizzling sound is made using six analogue square wave oscillators mixed and processed by band-pass filters. This multi-oscillator design is what gives the 808 hi-hat sounds their unique metallica character and makes each HATS808 sound slightly different from one another. The original “choke” circuitry that makes it sound so dynamic and tight is fully implemented,
just like the original, but can also be disabled if needed by disconnecting the internal connection between the two hats.
