Roland Boutique TR-08 Rhythm Composer

Показать описание

The Roland TR-808 has featured on countless records and tracks — from chart-topping pop songs to underground classics — and is one of the most revered electronic musical instruments of all time. The booming bass drum, sizzling hi-hats, snappy snare, and that unmistakable cowbell, has formed the rhythmic foundation of many genres with a sound that is engrained in today’s music and culture.

In this video, we chat about the latest instrument in the Roland Boutique series - the Roland TR-08 Rhythm Composer. We discuss what the numbers "8-0-8" mean to a number of artists; some of whom have a legacy deeply engrained with the TR-808 to a younger generation of producers who look to take the sound of the TR-808 to a bright future.

Join Jimmy Jam, Egyptian Lover, Principleasure, Shy Boogs, Marley Marl, Nadus, DJ Jazzy Jeff and Juan Atkins share their love for the 808 and the new TR-08 Rhythm Composer.

The TR-08 brings the look, sound, and feel of the original 808 — with stunning accuracy — to the Roland Boutique format. From the instantly-recognizable red-orange-yellow-white markings, the shape of the sequencer buttons, switches and knobs are details that have been painstakingly reproduced to match the iconic recreation of sounds. Along with the aesthetic touches, the TR-08 contains new features like 16 sub-steps for fast rolls, independent trigger out track, compression/gain/tune for instruments and a selectable modified “long decay” bass drum for more boom and resonance.

After using the boutiques for a few years I can say that I absolutely love how they sound and feel and the extra functionality that Roland applies to them is simply awesome! Can’t wait to get another one!

Just ordered one, I have D05, TR09 now TR08 then will buy the SH01A and TB03 and will be done with the Boutiques purchases.I can say I'm really impressed with the Boutiqe series, they just feel very sturdy, super cool and inspiring oh and the most important they sound absolutely killer.

The Roland TR-8 has 16 kits including 808, 909, 707 & 727 drum machines, stereo output, mixer, built in delay & reverb with side chaining. I would think most people would buy this TR-08 just for the nostalgic looks.

I like Analog very much ... but I think the difference in the sound is not soooo big as many vintage fans here describe. It is crazy to pay 3500 $ for an old 808 that sounds not really much better then a divice of 400 $. If you have the money why not but I like the new features of the 08. I will buy this one.

"Analog Circuit Behaviour" .. The words that launched a thousand sighs

why are the comments so negative? Im so stoked i might actually be able to get an '808 machine' that wont cost me a small mortgage than if i were to find one on ebay. Owning a legit old school one would be sick but this tr-08 looks promising...

I'm curious to know how the sound compares to the TR-8. Is it the same, not as good, or better? Also, some of the elitists on this thread (all of whom I've never heard any music from) should chill. I think that it's dope that Roland is making efforts to put cool AFFORDABLE products in people's hands. Most people can't find or afford an original 808 or 909 so I think these machines are pretty dope.

Roland is about to sell a boat load of TR-08's, the clone war is over you style stealers, I think they should win an award for taking the time out to recreate the look and feel of a legend and bring it back too the masses, they don't care about what you haters think about their ACB Circuits, All these modern analog gear coming out today looks and feel retro, but they all still hookup to computers via USB, processed through your DAW of choice and then scattered digitally all over the internet, when the "TR-08 and the SH-101a" comes out I will be spending my $349 on Roland's ACB Technology once again.

Looks gorgeous! Now that you've done these classics, it's time to make the drum computer of today. No emulation. More options for sculpting the sounds. Microtiming. Overdrive. Support for plugouts/expansions. Although I guess we will see yet another classic in june next year... around 6th?

Guys, I really don't want to start the flame or something like this, but I have to say, the 09 and 08 are really great boutique things.
The others, meh, but these are there.
I mean, I know analog, I've built a lot of sh*t for my studio, from little pedals thru small noise boxes to large format modulars and outboards.
They sound amazing, yes, but if you really know analog, you know they could be a pain the as* to deal with. Noise, ground loops, heat(!) just to mention a few.
With these little boxes, you have a lot space left, they are not producing that much of heat and the most important, they sounds the same, always!
Honestly, you can't really hear the difference in a track...I think most of your fav. trap / hip hop / todays minimal techno tracks use samples only...
