The 808 was followed in 1983 by the [[Roland TR-909|TR-909]], the first Roland drum machine to use samples. Like the 808, the 909 influenced popular music, including such genres as [[techno]], [[House music|house]] and [[Acid house|acid]].<ref name="Reid-2014" />

808 samples were included in [[ReBirth RB-338]], an early [[software synthesiser]] developed by [[Propellerhead Software]].<ref name="Jones-2017">{{Cite web|last=Jones|first=Andy|date=2017-11-27|title=Rewind: Propellerhead ReBirth RB-338 - the first soft-synth emulation|url=https://www.musictech.net/reviews/rewind-propellerhead-rebirth-rb-338/|access-date=2020-11-14|website=[[MusicTech]]|language=en-GB}}</ref> According to Andy Jones of ''[[MusicTech]]'', ReBirth was "especially incredible" as the first software emulation of 808 sounds.<ref name="Jones-2017" /> It was retired in 2017 as Roland said it infringed on its intellectual property.<ref name="Jones-2017" /> Roland has included 808 samples in several drum machines, including its [[Groovebox]]es in the 1990s.<ref name="Reid-2014" /> Its TR-8<ref name="Beaumont-Thomas-2014-2" /> and TR-8S drum machines, released in the 2010s, recreate the sounds electronically rather than through sample playback.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.musicradar.com/reviews/roland-tr-8s-rhythm-performer|title=Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer review|last=Truss|first=Si|date=23 May 2018|work=[[Music Radar]]|access-date=13 November 2019|language=en}}</ref>
