While the original 808 has one global accent knob affecting all of its sounds simultaneously, the CB808 (and all other drum modules in this series) offers an independent accent level control. This feature adds far more dynamics than what was possible with the original machine.

Pitch-Modulating LFO explained. In the CB808 we have added an analog pitch-modulating LFO that was not originally found in the TR-808. It is used to modulate the pitch of the cowbell sound, giving it a slightly unbalanced and inconsistent texture, yet in the boundaries of the original sound without extremes and noise.
