Sound and Character of the Crushed 808s
Future Audio Workshop says the presets were designed in-house to be among the heaviest distorted and compressed 808s in its catalog. The patches cover crunchy, buzzy and crushed tones, with names such as Granite, Petrol, Glass and Wreck pointing to the range from gritty to dirty.
Because the distortion is part of each preset, the sounds are meant to be used as finished starting points rather than raw sub tones. Producers who prefer to shape drive and compression themselves may still treat them as source material.
