Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer
Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer Drum Machine – Born of the most famous and influential drum machines ever made, the TR-8S combines the best of its Roland heritage with modern production techniques and professional sound design. The result? A forward-thinking, performance-tuned instrument unlike any other. Build your dream kit from the most iconic drum sounds of all time, plus the finest selection of stereo samples from Roland’s vast library-or import your own custom samples. Tap, tune and tweak with hands-on controls and production tools that make your patterns move and groove. And why keep this kind of percussive power confined to the studio? The TR-8S was literally made to play live. – The TR-8S comes loaded with the largest, most authentic collection of TR drum machines available. The powerful new processor gives Roland’s next-generation ACB models a whole new level of detail and nuance, giving you that classic Roland boom, snap and sizzle. And now you can incorporate preset and custom samples, creating unique hybrid and layered kits, and enhance them with specialized effects that inject professional sound design into the TR formula. – The TR-8S has every sound from the most sought-after TR drum machines, with detailed circuit-models of the 808, 606, 909, 707, 727 and even several modified versions. These are not sound-alike sample-packs or mere recordings of TR drum sounds. Each machine is a detailed, down-to-the-circuit-model that sounds and behaves exactly like the original hardware. All these sounds are yours, at your fingertips, and ready to use in your own productions and performances. – Specifications: User Drum Kit: 128 – User Patterns: 128 – Step Sequencer – 11 instrument parts and 1 exclusive part for trigger out – 16 steps per 1 variation – 8 (A – H) variations per 1 pattern – 2 Fill-in patterns per 1 pattern – INST tone(Tone can be assigned to each 11 instrument parts freely.) – BASS DRUM: 11 ACB tones – SNARE DRUM: 8 ACB tones

It’s a cool machine… but nothing compares to the Originals Just got this recently, and still have a lot of features to learn, and master, and there are A LOT of features!

Hooking all my gear up, and getting it all synced was pretty easy.The sound quality on this is really amazing, and all the ways you have to tweak your patterns makes this a real treat to play live.My absolute favorite part of this device is all the variations you can add to…

This is due to the vintage machines having…
