1. Shortcut for adjusting velocities: hold the step and turn the Accent knob. When not holding a step, the Accent knob will also scale any velocities you've programmed in.
2. For tuning pitched samples, setting the Ctrl knob to Coarse and sequencing that lets you work in semitones, much easier than sequencing the Tuning knob. Though you cannot use the Ctrl knob for anything else on that track though, one of the biggest flaws of the TR-8S unfortunately
3. Last tip :) there is a sensitivity setting for the pad, I definitely prefer the lightest option 👍

The ACB technology sounds great. Really hope they add probability in a future update.

I bought it 1 week ago. I'm amazed at everything you can do with it... I was a little lost at first but frankly it's really well made. This is my first machine and I'm really having fun with it!

thanks for the video

[macstar]

Been thinking of buying a TR-8S for a while now. You've just convinced me. Great video - easy to follow even for a noob like me!

[petek]

Ordered one on this video alone - arriving tomorrow -thanks and subscribed !!

[Paul-Carson]

Just bought a tr-8s so thanks for the insight before it arrives tomorrow. looking forward to finally getting new music out in 2024 with this tool

The Clyde Stubblefield moment made me jump. Thought you were gonna be bummed by Bill Cosby.

Tr8s is an absolute monster ...teamed up with the 707 it’s a killer set up ...enjoying your content from all the way over in Glasgow Scotland mate 👌keep it coming ...respect

[MicroBanshee]

I came for the drums but stayed for the speed running button clacking ;)

[kevingillespie]

The frequency sweep on the pedal in the little demo at the start sounded 👌

[De_Bars_Gullible_Travels]

Learnt more in first few minutes from your video than any other video uploaded…thank you, simplified some complex timing issues and effects I am having, thank you!! Great fun with the tr-8s, bought a td-3 and td-3mo… yes yes yes….👍❤️🇮🇪

[krazywabbit]

Ordered a used one and will come back to this video to learn/emulate. Can’t wait to pair it with the 707, T8, J6 and E4. Strong work sir!

[kathleencoveny]

" Somewhere over the rainbow " .. comes to mind when i glance at this colorful set up .. add to that the makings of " the sound of music " ... and it is another win .. always thorough .. easy flow .. insightful content in your comprehensive videos .. cheers to the process ... and thanks !

[igotbit]

Damn I just love the layout of this whole thing. I’m just afraid if I buy it they’ll come out with a new version the next day 😅

If you're still wondering, the MG888 is a reference to the Gemini R-888 Beat Box, whose designers initals were MG.

[RJ_Eckie]

1000% agreed on ACB. I had the MC-707 for a second and I just didn’t like the sound of it - at all! Meanwhile the JU-06A is my favorite piece of gear. It’s such a big difference

[willyum]

It's the only TR I needed to own.

[alexwestconsulting]

I picked up the TR-6s this week for cheap after having passed on a good deal on the older TR-8. The acb drums are great, very dynamic. Too bad the old TR-8 doesn't have the whole set without shelling out extra cash because I don't really need yet another sample importer like the TR-8s at that cost. If only the TR-6s had the sidechain. Oh well, I've got an mx-1, circuit tracks, and some analog compressors for that. Still, can't understate how useful sidechain units are. It's amazing how tactile and fun the sliders are, really needs to be experienced to get it.

[paulkuiper]

Still tempted to trade my TR-6s for a TR-8s. But at this stage a rarely use the extra percussion sounds like toms and cymbal. Thanks for your first impressions, love how hands on this machine is.
