Roland TR-8S

The TR-8S is the heir to the most famous and influential drum machines of all time (TR-808, TR-606, TR-909, TR707 and TR-727). It combines the best of Roland's past with state-of-the-art production techniques and professional sound design. Build your dream kit consisting of the most iconic drum sounds in history, plus the best selection of samples from our gigantic library - or import your own personal samples. Tap, tune and tweak with ready-to-use controls and production tools that make your patterns swing and your music move. And why lock up all this percussion power in the studio? Literally made to play live, the TR-8S is packed with the largest, most authentic collection of TR drum computers available today. The powerful new processor takes our next-generation ACB models to a completely new level, in terms of detail and nuance. So you get classic Roland body, punch and schwung! And now you can integrate preset and personal samples, create unique hybrid and layered kits, and augment them with special effects that inject professional sound design into the TR formula. Audio and MIDI interface: The TR-8S is not only the most powerful drum machine ever, but also a full multi-channel audio and MIDI interface. When you connect the TR-8S to a computer or an AIRA Link host, you can send MIDI and high-resolution audio over a single USB cable. Record each drum instrument on a separate channel, for individual processing or DAW recording. Automate parameter movements through your DAW with CC commands, or sync the TR-8S to your computer or Roland MX-1 Mix Performer for live sets or jam sessions. step sequencer
