Thenatan has released X-Eight 2 808 for macOS and Windows in VST2, VST3, and AU formats.
Thenatan says:
Finding a great 808 sample can be a difficult task for any producer, you browse through hundreds of 808s, but nothing works.
The days of blending and layering multiple basses to get your low end just right are now over.
We are proud to present X-Eight 2, an evolution and expanded edition of X-Eight 808 VST that was a favorite with many producers and BeatMakers. Now with many Advanced features, surgical controls – and improvements in sound and UI Design.
They continue:
Our goal with V2 was to make a comprehensive 808 VST to fulfill all of your low-end needs.
X-Eight 2 and its next-level features give you an infinite number of ways to bring you tight, hard-hitting, and punchy 808 basses that cut through mixes with very little effort.
X-Eight 2 includes some crazy, weird 808s, Basses, and Drums Presets that you wouldn't even think came from an 808 VST. You'll instantly hear songs when going through our patches.
