Performance-tuned instrument
The Roland TR-8S has been purposely designed to be the perfect live performance instrument with exceptional audio fidelity, an ergonomic yet comprehensive control section, and more. The TR-8S builds on the success of previous versions, taking the design of the original TR-8 drum machine and enhancing virtually every section.
Transistor rhythms
One of the most unique features of the TR-8S is the inclusion of the most renowned and sought-after TR drum machines. The Rhythm Performer provides detailed circuit-models of the 808, 606, 909, 707, 727, and several modified versions. Each of the included drum machines are detailed and faithful recreations of the original, behaving and sounding like the original units.
Import your own samples
One of the most versatile upgrades for the TR-8S is the ability to import your own custom samples and sounds via the SD card slot. Once you have imported your sound, you are provided with immediate hands-on control of your samples, so you can manipulate them to your liking using the integrated effects and control section.
Intuitive control section
The comprehensive and intuitive control section is designed for fast and fluid playability, making it ideal as a live performance instrument. It features 16 TR-Rec buttons for creating sequences on the fly. You can also use the velocity-sensitive performance pad to play live and/or record directly into the sequencer.
Theme variations
The ability to move between patterns, samples, kits, and sound seamlessly is paramount when performing live. Roland has given you the ability to store up to 128 patterns, each allowing for up to eight variations which can be triggered on their own or simultaneously as a chain for evolving sequences.
Motion recording and fills
One of the most unique features of the TR-8S is the motion recording functionality. This allows you to input detailed technique into your drum tracks. Each pattern also provides you with two fills which you create from scratch or customize from preset fills.
Built-in specialized effects
As well as giving you the ability to craft and customize your sounds and sequences, the Rhythm Performer also includes a range of premium-grade effects. These effects can be used for a variety of applications from adding a simple reverb to a Snare to totally changing the tone and style of a sound. The specialized percussion-tuned effects range from Delays and Reverbs to Compressors, Distortion, Phasers, Flangers, and more.
Versatile analog connectivity
In addition to its wide range of intuitive controls and unique functions, the Rhythm Performer boasts a wide range of analog connectivity. It features eight separate analog outputs for processing individual drum sounds as well as processing sounds. It also features a dedicated trigger output as well as stereo audio inputs for external sources.
