The AIRA TR-8S is designed to be an exceptional live performance instrument, with excellent audio fidelity, an ergonomic control section, and more. It builds on the success of its predecessors by enhancing the design of the original TR-8 drum machine. The built-in 16-step sequencer maintains the style and swing of classic Roland TR-series drum machines, allowing you to incorporate your own samples via the SD card slot for customized patterns and grooves. The intuitive design improves workflow for seamless playability.

One of the most unique features of the AIRA TR-8S is the inclusion of renowned TR drum machines, such as detailed circuit models of the 808, 606, 909, 707, 727, and modified versions.

The ability to seamlessly move between patterns, samples, kits, and sounds is crucial for live performances. With the TR-8S, you can store up to 128 patterns, each with up to eight variations, which can be triggered individually or as a chain for evolving sequences. Each pattern includes tempo and kit information, as well as total recall of all knob positions and effect settings.
