Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer Demo and Overview

The Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer combines Analog Circuit Modeling with sample support for more sonic versatility than ever before. Create your own custom kits and patterns with any combination of ACB drum sounds and your own samples imported from SD card. The TR-8S also has some new tricks compared to the TR-8, like two automatable fill sections per pattern, and the ability to lock parameter values to individual steps. With access to more sounds and more ways to manipulate them, the Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer is an advanced groove machine for any electronic genre.

With all of the tr8s demos I've watched, nobody has even touched the tempo knob. Id like to see some tempos slowed once in a while...not everyone writes dance music at 120bpm

Okay - here's my big question - Can you hit record and play a beat out (between different pads) on the step sequencing pads live? Or are you only limited to playing live rhythms via the single pad next to the tempo knob?

Wow eight invidual outs ...did you say in stereo???

[sethnobles]

Is there a method to attach a stop/play or fill trigger from a foot pedal? For example, to accommodate a transition if another instrument is performed in realtime?

Thinking about ordering this from Sweetwater. Does anyone happen to know if you can open the Roland TR-8S (connected to a PC) as a plugin in MPC software?

[MJamesIII]

My wish list is for Roland to add the R8 MKII complete sound library to the

[banjoemily]

Can you assign more than one drum to the assignable outputs? Could I have the mix out going clean to the board and also have every drum going out another assignable out (all the same out) and have that running through effects?

[pigknickers]

Love this machine, your man sounds like the teenage shop worker in the Simpsons, which is quite funny.

[gritterpermanente]

Can anyone tell me if the tambourine shaker at 5:24 is an included sound or an added sample?

[xdeville]

[gamblesgroove]

Do the effects transfer over all usb channels to computer

[NU__SKY]

stop stopping it man, just let it play

[vinylselektaz]

I guess this can be used like a SP-1200? Like loading external samples on each block?
