So sick! Have a TD-3MO and am looking to buy a drum machine. Really want the TR8S but it seems like the 909 sounds from the RD-9 are a lot better without processing. Obviously the TR8S has a lot more capabilities, but the main reason I wanted it was for solid 909 sounds, as well as the faders. And obviously the RD-9 has a much better price point. Still super torn at the moment, any advice?
I remember that while both the RD-9 and TR8s have limited sequencers, the TR8s sequencer looked more limited, especially when chaining patterns or building a more complex automated arrangement. Both lack "freedom" level sequencers of a Rm1x, RS7000, QY700, MPC, Triton, Motif ES, etc. Those units can run virtually hands-free. The RD-9 requires external effects processing to sound like it does in this video. For the money that a TR8s costs, you can buy a used MPC One, which will have much more capabilities, can work as an external effects processor, or a very basic multi-track recorder.
Cool. Korg delivered the goods with the Triton line. So much versatility. Looks like you’re working with LE in this vid? At any rate, thanks for sharing!
i had a play years ago with the studio version, and it was like it was reading my mind, i am temped to buy one second hand, and have an arranger, to go with my Kurzweil 2600xs ( which is used as piano)
