Bad Gear - The Dark Knight
Bad Gear - TR-8s
Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most-hated audio tools. We can all agree that Roland created a few quite respectable drum machine like the Roland TR-808 , Roland TR-909 , Roland TR-606 and Roland TR-707 . However, since then their target demographic has dwindled: analog enjoyers have joined the Cult of Uli, people willing to RTFM are using next-generation Scandinavian abaci like Elektron Digitakt or Elektron Octatrack and real musicians switched to computers decades ago.
Today we are going to talk about Roland TR-8s. This 2018 flagship rhythm performer not only boasts a design language that clearly focuses on inner beauty - it also combines the played-out sounds of the 80s with the workflow of a 90s ROMpler.
Thanks to Klangfarbe for lending me one of their floor models:

    I love my TR-8s. I'm a guitarist first so rhythm programming has always been a challenge for me. After owning the unit for several months I became determined to learn it and create drums I could use. It's a great machine. No more scrolling through my loop folder to find something that fits the occasion.

    That's the reason I bought one (second-hand, mint). I was looking at an R8M before, because, you know, rackz'n'stuff. But as a friend pointed out: it's the last drum machine you'll ever need.

    The Editor is a win, you can literally see everything TR-8s can do and structure Jams quickly. It is a performance machine and not a computer like DAW kinda similar to the MPC one. It's a great tool, a classic IMHO. Faders alone make it so much fun to play.

    These videos are always so enjoyable!!! I actually got a TR-8S about a year ago for the first time and I love it. It's a cool "Roland Drum Sound Classics" box but for me the real use is that it has a Control Surface Mode where it can be used as a midi controller. All the faders and most of the knobs send midi CC info in this mode. The sequencer is also still functional so I use this to program software drum machines or to just do single note triggers in my DAW. As a DAW accessory it's a brilliant side machine to have!!!

    @@AudioPilz I realize that you could use it like a groove box but why would you put yourself through that? That’s what a sequencer is for. My workflow: get a burst of energy to import a bunch of samples and assemble some kits. Then some time in the future, get another burst of energy and make whole banks of patterns using the new kits. So when I’m working on a new song, I’ve got patterns I’ve haven’t used waiting for me.

    Having this drum machine has always been my dream, in 2022 I managed to buy it. I'm very happy with this machine, it's become the main piece of my set up and the one I care most about. Powerful tool if you know what it can do. Many times I just use the TR-8s to make a complex track. My opinion is that the TR-8s is already a classic, I see many artists that I admire, both new and old school, also using it as a centerpiece or auxiliary in their setups. A classic that Roland hadn't been able to make in a long time. I understand some complaints from some users, but for me it works completely. I have nothing to complain about. The ACB engine is great, the FM engine is also very versatile and not that difficult to use, a very interesting effects chain that allows you to create a very complex and unique sound design, the possibility of configuring multiple channel outputs, also compatibility with modular equipment /qlanalog with Trigger output, even being able to convert audio outputs to Trigger outputs, midi configurations that can integrate well with older equipment that tends to be problematic. There are many details that make this equipment exceptionally usable. Sensational equipment, I hope it has many years of life on the market and that more updates come.

    I bought one used in mint condition, and it quickly became one of my favorite studio pieces (I wasn’t expecting it to). However, I DO hate its limitations: only 50MB of samples, or 300 pcs, whatever comes first; no sample management or bulk tool - it’s one by one, folks; the menu diving is typical Roland but passable; audio over USB sucks, it’s way too quiet when running as an aggregate device. Inputting melodies or bass notes is pure hell. And it definitely has an identifiable sound of its own, that doesn’t sound like a real 808 - it sounds like a TR-8S. You can hear it on the last demo jam here, for instance. Also - Florian, don’t ever stop doing the ”delay-y-y, reverbbb” FX - those are always still hilarious 😄

    Yea, Astrolab is boring. However, it's a big step to their own workstation (the software internally runs on Linux now). In that sense, it's not BG.

    There is an app but it doesn’t help with samples. It’s great for everything else though. But the problem for me is once you’ve got a computer and an app involved why not just use a drum machine plugin in your DAW. Unless you’re gigging out a lot and don’t want to take a computer with you i suppose.

    Had to decide between TR8S and MC707, got the 707 and I'm happy with it. Mainly using it with own samples anyway and as a drum machine it serves its purpose quite well. The synthesizer part is also quite capable. Does it have some annoying limitations? Sure! A lot of users complain about the missing sidechain compression btw. Looking forward to the video!

    Nice video! I actually don't know why the TR 8S gets so much flack! Actually....I kind of do, I ended up selling mine, but I bought another one back again because I missed it! LOL. I think it's just an aquired taste to those who may be looking for more of a groovebox, the 707 may be more suitable. But for a drum machine, I think it's right up there with just about anything out there especailly now that they've incorperated a TR-Editor software to save us from extensive menu-diving. Where I think it really shines is the expansive sound design features. I have fun creating a lot of one-shots and unique sounds with the Roland FX and tone shaping capbility of the FM Synth engine it has. Looking forward to more videos from you!

I absolutely love my TR-8S, after being a MPC user before, I was enamored with the ability to do so much stuff live (all them knobs and sliders!), and so the TR-8s got me started collecting AIRA gear so that I could do just that. To this day I think it's my favourite piece of kit, and running it alongside my two TB-3s or System-8 can make me lose interest in the entire outside world for hours :D [watching] Oh wow, you're playing with THREE TB-3s?
