The legend returns. The Roland AIRA TR-8S Rhythm Performer builds on the success of the original AIRA-TR8 Rhythm Performer with a range of enhancements and new features.

One of the most unique features of the TR-8S is the inclusion of all the most sought-after TR drum machines including authentic recreations of the 808, 909, 707, 727, 606, and more.

The TR-8S Rhythm Performer is powered by Roland’s custom ACB technology, ensuring the utmost authenticity when it comes to the analog sounds behaving like the original hardware.

This revolutionary performance-tuned instrument is ideal for both stage and studio applications. Its comprehensive control section features intuitive controls, such as a 16-step sequencer, faders, precision attenuators, transport controls, and more.

You can also import your own samples using the integrated SD card slot for building custom kits and more. The bundle also includes a dedicated Decksaver cover that is custom molded to fit the Roland AIRA TR-8S Rhythm Performer. The cover protects from dust, particulates, and superficial damage.

The Roland AIRA TR-8S Rhythm Performer is a performance-tuned instrument that has been designed for live performance with exceptional audio fidelity, an ergonomic control section, and more. It builds on the success of previous versions, taking the design of the original TR-8 drum machine and enhancing virtually every section.

One of the most prominent features of the AIRA TR-8S is the built-in 16-step sequencer, reminiscent of classic Roland TR-series drum machines. You can also incorporate your own samples via the SD card slot, allowing you to customize your sound collection and make custom patterns and grooves.

The intuitive design improves workflow for fluid and simple playability. One of the most unique features of the AIRA TR-8S is the inclusion of renowned TR drum machines like the 808, 606, 909, 707, 727, and several modified versions. These drum machines have been faithfully recreated with Roland’s custom ACB technology, ensuring they sound and behave like the original units.

You can also import your own samples, giving you even more versatility. The control section is comprehensive and intuitive, designed for fast and fluid playability. It features a 16-step sequencer, TR-Rec buttons for creating sequences on the fly, and velocity-sensitive performance pads.

The ability to move between patterns, samples, kits, and sounds seamlessly is paramount when performing live. Roland has given you the ability to store up to 128 patterns, each with eight variations, which can be triggered on their own or simultaneously as a chain for evolving sequences.

Each pattern also includes tempo and kit information, as well as total recall of all knob positions and effect settings for added convenience. The AIRA TR-8S also features motion recording functionality, allowing you to input detailed techniques into your drum tracks and automate parameters for maximum versatility.

The Rhythm Performer also includes a range of premium-grade effects, allowing you to shape and customize your sounds and sequences. It offers versatile analog connectivity with eight separate analog outputs, a trigger output, and stereo audio inputs for external sources.

The Decksaver Roland TR-8S is a durable protective cover that is custom molded to fit the contours of the Roland AIRA TR-8S Rhythm Performer. It protects against dust, liquid, and accidental impact damage, while still allowing you to accommodate cables.
