Roland TR-8S

The TR-8S has the most extensive and authentic collection of TR Drum Machines on the market. Thanks to the powerful new processor, the groundbreaking ACB models sound in unprecedented detail, allowing you to experience the pressure, smacking and crackling of the Roland sound classics in every nuance. Now you can combine all this with presets and custom samples to create unique hybrid and layer kits. Plus, the TR-8S' specialized effects add professional sound design options to the TR formula.

Based on detailed circuit models of the legendary TR Drum Machines 808, 606, 909, 707, 727 as well as various modified versions, the TR-8S provides you with every single sound of the TR history. Roland is not talking about imitative sample packs or simple recordings of a TR drum sound. Rather, each machine is a precise model right down to the circuit level, which behaves and sounds just like the original hardware. With the TR-8S, these legendary sounds are ready to be used in your productions and performances.

With the right effects you can add depth and three-dimensionality to your drum part. From delay on the rim shot, overdrive on the kick drum, filters on the toms and cymbals, to precise reverb on individual instruments, the TR-8S offers special percussion effects that sound just great. In addition to the Master FX knob, each channel has a customizable CTRL knob that gives you quick access to a wide range of sound editing options. Whether you want to adjust the attack of the kick, the snap of the snare, the phaser intensity or the degree of distortion - you can assign any desired effect parameter to the CTRL or Master FX knob and save it individually for each kit. In addition, both instrument and master effects are saved with all settings per kit, so you can use your productions live at any time.
