Roland TR-8S Masterclass

Музыка

This video captures a Roland TR-8S drum machine masterclass, presented by Roland's Peter Brown at the 2019 Brooklyn Synth Expo.
In the video, Brown goes beyond traditional 808/909 style programming and digs into some of the more advanced capabilities of the TR-8S, including using custom samples, modulation sequencing, effects sequencing and polyrhythms.

    Wish this had an overhead cam angle on the machine instead of these wide shots w/ transitions.

    I saw Peter at this Expo on Saturday, got some of the TR8/TR8S fader covers from him. Nice guy!

    I admit it is a fun workflow. But it doesn't have a guide click, which annoys me every single time I sit down to use it, nor a tap tempo, unless I just can't find it, and it doesn't sound as punchy or cool as my actual 707 - which does have a guide click. So you do get more options overall but you also lose stuff as well.

    I have this machine and I like it but... there are some small flaws.My biggest issue is for finger drumming tapping pad is to small to do quick rolls and variations.This video is more a presentation than masterclass.Nothing is explained what to press and no info from screen either.

    Inst Play mode: Hold step 12, 13, or both and any other step to make that step roll for live performances Tr-rec mode: Record them into the sequencer with sub button. Hold sub button and use value knob to adjust roll lengths Unfortunately i dont see a way to INST REC rolls into the sequencer, but i find recording rolls in TrRec mode is cool...

    This needs to be higher - I'm glad I scrolled down and found this comment instead of wasting time watching the video. Demos are nice I guess, but they don't need to be 20 minutes long if they aren't also informative in a helpful and useful way.

    At around 8:30 he's adjusting the tuning, but I can't seem to get my tr 8s to "remember" the tuning for different steps, it just takes over the new one. If I input a new one, it does glow yellow, so something is being remembered, I guess. Any tips?

    Can drums be programmed in live via tap rather that entering steps? My main workflow on the tr-09 is to select 4 patterns, get them playing, and then just tap in all the drum notes I want - going back to step mode if I need to make any fine tuning. I'm ready to upgrade, but I'm scared of losing that functionality.

    It does have a live record mode, yes. I don't remember exactly how to enable/use it, but there's plenty of videos that explain it and I'm sure it's in the manual as well, which is actually decent for a change (24 pages vs the one-sheet nonsense we got with the TR8).

    How many shift commands are there? Is the manual still a piece of paper printed as tiny as possible? Or do I need a laptop or phone slSh tablet to view it ? That’s why everyone is hesitant now we are buried in navigation. It actually caused ptsd. Peace Christo

    The laptop that comes with the TR-8S is a book, probably about 25 pages. It doesn't cover everything but is enough to get you started.

    Always the same thing on Roland machine that's boring. I begin with TB 303 and MC 303, after i have MC 505 and 808. I love TB 303 only because you can do every good sound and you have two road for do it. 1 put with universal power and the 2 with a battery the sounds are incredible. Now all the machine like drum machine or analog synth have the same capacity nothing original and they so limited and expensive that's fucking boring.
