T-8 Book Overview for the Roland T-8 Compact Groove Box 

yup!

thank you, i hope you find the book useful working with your T-8.

Excellent, good to know when people fine stuff useful. I have a roland S-1 on order BTW .

T-8 has several ways to record step time real time via the rubber buttons on T-8 real time via a connected midi keyboard re step time - adding octaves is a post process mostly.. similar to the layer process of a tb-303 you enter the step where you want a note, decide what note via the value knob you may at that time dial up or down to a different octave or you might do thru later and move a note from it default octave up or down you hold that step to reveal what note it is for example C2 .. you can then use the value knob to dial this up or down to c1 or c4 etc or any note/octave realtime using the rubber keys in keyboard mode: press to note you want a the right time in RECORD mode you also have oct+ and oct- buttons to move what the keys play when pressed realtime via a midi keyboard you have full access to any key in any octave depending on the controller keyboard used.

@@cresshead Thank you , much appreciated. I will have a good mess about with my T-8 tomorrow 👌

thank you for the purchase, the time is referring to the note step..what's lit up on the 16 buttons per bar on the T-8 itself, so you know you've got it right at a glance and the you can dive in and edit the notes and octaves for variations with the same timing etc.. you don't 'have' to use it but it's there if you want it.

not done and S-1 book as yet... need to find a good reason for one.. the unit itself is pretty good 'as is' - i have S-1 btw.

use the links below

EDit .. ah! i see that now.. i'll update the book, will let you know when the new edition is live. There's no probability track or substep track for the bass in the roland T-8 btw.

I'll do a short vid after lunch to show

thank you appreciated

well done!

These are great idea. Have you considered a book for the RD -8?

@@offworldnetwork what would you like in an RD-8 book? Same idea on drum seq charts and drum settings like the RD-6 book? Q. does RD-8 do ratchets/probability etc?

@@cresshead what would you like in an RD-8 book? Same idea on drum seq charts and drum settings like the RD-6 book? YES 👍 Q. does RD-8 do ratchets/probability etc? IT DOES POLYRYTHMS, PROBABILITY, FLAM ETC

@@offworldnetwork i'll grab the manual and have a look thru it

@@cresshead 😎

no they have completely different content/use case, watch the video. roland: static.roland.com/manuals/T-8_manual_v102/eng/index.html

it's an instrument.. even a set of spoons are compatible with a Digital.Audio.Workstation if you sample them..... T-8 Has midi...

@@cresshead thnx mate
