The Tr8s should do an update to help create Melodie’s easier. Like a live record using the instrument select as a keyboard. This would make the 8s complete.

I may be wrong but I believe that you can plug in a midi keyboard for this purpose

@@NathanKidd9 yes, but for melodies it's not like playing midi notes, it uses control change messages and the melody changes by velocity.

DAMN this is good. I think they've matched (if not surpassed) drumbrute's awesome sequencer, but with wayyyyyyyyyy better audio, plus samples, usb audio, and the list goes on. For me, first time in a whiiiile to say: WELL DONE ROLAND!!!! I want this machine.

@Taka_Takata 5 лет назад

+Rodrigo Laporte: sorry, but you're wrong about matching/surpassing the DrumBrute sequencer. The DB has: - Ability to nudge individual steps - Dedicated step/pattern/sequence buttons, separate from the multi-function pads - Song mode The whole layout and workflow is also much more intuitive and elegant. The TR-8S wins on sound tweaking, MIDI control, parameter automation, user samples...

@keykrazy 5 лет назад

My thoughts exactly, Rodrigo. (Don't get me wrong, Taka Takata -- i've got a DrumBrute already but am eagerly anticipating the arrival of my TR-8S within the next week. This has been a bad / great year for me re G.A.S. and drum machines...! It's gonna be so nice to have both in the same room.

@madvalrocketinsky4292 6 лет назад

@dickhindmanpiano302 4 года назад

Such a different work flow than my Akai MPC Live which I love. I can see why Cuckoo appreciates this demo. While the MPC Live has more features, I can see using this in addition for the varying step length of each drum sound to create an evolving pattern. Add a variation for the fill and this creates a quick interesting loop that would take more time to create on the MPC Live. Transfer that to your DAW. I see programming this live to picture, to video, to create an entire drum track "synced" and improvised to picture. I may have to try one of these. Nice video.

Hey wondering if I could get some help. I'm trying to slave the TR8s to my MC-50 sequencer so it gets both the clock and start/stop. For the life of me I can't figure it out and can't seem to find any information. All I can find is support on using the TR8s as the Master or Slaving it to a DAW. Trying to get it to sync the same way my 707 midiSyncs. I have a midi out from the MC-50 going to the TR8s midi in. I have Tempo Sync set at midi. I have RXstartstop set on. When I press play on the MC-50 everything starts except the TR8s. It won't play along. Any help greatly appreciated.

If you have a pattern playing in 'A' But you want the pattern's length to be 2 measures rather than one, as to incorporate B playing after A - how would one do this?

@felixbaileymurray 3 года назад

Press +hold variation A, then press variation B. That'll make B play directly after A (chain them together). If you wanted to chain A, B, C and D together, you'd need to press+hold A, then press B, C and D. It doesn't seem to matter which order you press+hold / press the buttons in, since the variations will always play sequentially A through H. In this sense you could press+hold B and press A (like he does at 1:22 in the video) and it'll have the same effect - it just makes more sense in my head to press+hold the variation you want first.

@Racingheartrecords 5 лет назад

I want the TR-8S, but I need a song mode... a feature that is in every other Roland drum machine. Why is it so hard to find a drum machine that has a song mode, pattern mode, and the ability to store data on an external device like a thumbdrive or SD card?

@CDA43 4 года назад

Get your wallet out. Elektron, Dave Smith, Jomox. This is more geared for impromptu, live jamming. But it does have like what 18 outs? Easy usb into your daw. Other than that, have about $900-$2k ready for a full analog drum machine with those features that doesn't suck. NMight like the Digitakt by Elektron, can get it on reverb for like 600-$800. Might be your only bet.

@Racingheartrecords 4 года назад

Thank you for your ideas. Although I enjoy the sound, the Template lacks a song mode. The Jomox has no specifications I can find about song storage, and since it's all analog I assume it is as limited as others. The Digitak is a static sample player and with only 8 voices, which doesn't appeal to me... although I guess it's the closest to having the sequencing and storage capacity that I'm imagining.

@edmoification 3 года назад

You can pick up a used Elekton Analog Rytm MK1 for about 800 on Reverb. It is the only drum machine I know of with a full song mode. I think you can actually get pretty close using pattern chaining and the variations with the TR8S but I am not sure if you can save the chains.

@loskioskbears 6 лет назад

This is a great video, but it seems to indicate that I've got to spend a lot of time nursing the machine to get interesting things to happen. If, for example, I'm playing my synth or a guitar, I don't want to keep having to go back to the drum machine to trigger new patterns or events. Isn't there a proper song mode where I can chain patterns together, tell it how many times to repeat a pattern, loop through various patterns and then play an ending pattern etc. etc. ? So that the whole song will play without constantly needing input from me.

@kingstonbluesjam 5 лет назад

Having 8 variations per patterns seems to be a pretty poor substitute for a proper song mode. I don't want to keep having to go back to the TR8S to select patterns while I am playing a song on my keyboard or guitar. I want a simple song mode that allows me to tell it to play this pattern 16 times, then jump to the next pattern and play it 4 times, play a fill pattern twice, then jump back to the beginning and start again. I bought the TR8S a few weeks back and it is sitting gathering dust because without this feature it is close to useless!
