While the 808 is the "standard" it seems to me that your music wouldn't sound very original since you would be using the same machine that 99% of hip hop, rap and dance music all use.

Looks and sounds nice. What kind of parameters can you adjust? Any control over the synthesis? Or just preset sounds?
In terms of a drum machine, downsample some tr-909 samples in an Amiga tracker and crank some out 1994 gabber.

I do know what you mean Decktonic. I'm just trying to get some heavy bass sounds, to mix in with some ambient 8bit.

All sounds are digitally synthesized with a mix of traditional electronic and chip instruments, step sequencer for sound trigger and parameter adjust, clipping and DAC bit reduction, and MIDI control.
I'm curious as to who's making this?

Judging by this video:

It sounds like Shaun of the Dead and Hot Fuzz's Nick Frost is constructing it.

There will be lots of new and classic preset sounds, but also a user instrument editor with four timed parameter changes for making unique sounds, with control over oscillator, filter, pitch, volume, PWM, and dac bits for each change. Some instruments will have a specific tweak adjustable in realtime or recordable into a pattern. It is being designed with studio work and live performance in mind, so it should be user friendly and pretty rugged. One of the engineers worked on sound engines and games for the Spectrum and Gameboy many years ago, so it should be authentic.
The chip drum machine has been in beta for a few weeks now and an announcement will be made in the next few weeks, and a website is being prepared with more info and samples so I will post a link when it becomes available. It is from a new startup in London.

Is it synth or sample based? Will you be able to add your own samples?

Has anyone heard anything else about this DCM-8/CDM-8 project? It sounds really cool.

thanks, it's still in development but an announcement will be made in the first week of March. It's in the hands of the manufacturers and the firmware is in the final stages. More videos and soundclips soon.
Here's a case render teaser:
