Finally !! No techno, berlin school or deep house...just a simple demo of some of the very impressive features. Thankyou so much

[petals]

This is such a knock-out drum machine, I'm amazed at how perfect it is as the follow-up to the excellent TR-8.

Nice work Peter! And Roland, looks like you’ve taken a big step forward with this machine. Sweet!

[patsyhenderson]

I want this thing 😀😀😀 this dude Peter knows his stuff, give him a raise, I'm sold lmao . This would be a great tool for my beats in conjunction with my other equipment

[ClowdyHowdy]

The beginning of this video with the sequence chaining is exactly what I was looking for to understand it better. Now I'm convinced I'm going to get one. That looks really easy to do on the fly. Easy to stay in the groove

I am so grateful to Roland US . I have now a Roland VR-09B....and without a lot of people programming study ...I am knocking down doors at my live I am putting this Sequencer on my wish list.... definitely need some newness to my productions..,

Roland has finally done something right! This is a well designed drum machine. Yaaasss!

[dankefurnichts]

I just saw it by random, and its ordered. I waitet for that so long! My TR-8 was fine but the abillity to load samples, automation and and and? WOW!! Dealbreaker!!!!

[fernando-bondedstripes]

cool tutorial. his voice is incredibly clear and nice to listen to.

[oldschoolebm]

This machine is one of the funnest and more inspiring drum machines.

Pls Roland give us even 30 seconds of sampling time in an update. Just to do some rudimentary resampling, loops etc. Plocks as well.

[Sinesquares]

Seems that Roland has learned a lot from the TR 8 feedback! This is amazing

[garyturner]

Peter thank you for this video. Nice job covering new features and explaining it clearly!

[temporary_terpenes]

Variations and the ability to edit without playing is the feature Ive been waitibg for for a decade or mored

[ThinkerThunker]

I bought one. I love it. Thanks! It sure would be cool though if all three knobs for each instrument could be assigned to different affects though (Think about it )

[Luke-ymnf]

The Tr8s should do an update to help create Melodie’s easier. Like a live record using the instrument select as a keyboard. This would make the 8s complete.

[infiniteloopsltd]

This looks like the Roland drum machine I've been waiting for. Can't wait to try one.

[rodrigolaporte]

DAMN this is good. I think they've matched (if not surpassed) drumbrute's awesome sequencer, but with better audio, plus samples, usb audio, and the list goes on. For me, first time in a whiiiile to say: WELL DONE ROLAND!!!! I want this machine.

[craigsinclair]

1k 👍🏻. Well deserved Peter! Keep the vids coming. So much useful info.

[Dougie-]

This is really impressing, Roland! I'm really close to pre order this. The only thing I miss (couldn't find) is microtiming. To slide a step back or forward a few ticks in time.

Discovering this "new" one. Pretty impressive piece of work guys. And thanks for the video, it helped to resolve some questions I had and discover some more cool features!
