So I started as a rapper, then devoted myself to jazz piano, got into jazz/fusion/neo-soul and now going back to production. It's a weird place to be but I think it's cool you went the jazz route and apply that to electronic music. Makes a lot sense when I hear your rhythmic sensibilities.

Love that you are returning to African drum patterns. Your first video covering that older pattern book was phenomenal too!

Lol 😂 yes!!! I love this! I always say I’m channeling my inner Tony Allen when noodling on my TR-8S. I absolutely love it. So fun and immediate. Really great for just sketching out a rhythm in your head. Super excited to pair it with the Roland SH-4D I just ordered.

TR-8S is so special cause it reminds me of FL Studio’s sequencer. Might get it just cause it feels like the Hardware version of that.

Awesome video. Probability is a great addition. Makes me realize the Tr 8s could be so much more if it had micro timing and velocity sensitivity

You know if you want to copy variation A to B (or any other variation) you just hold down A then copy whilst A is pressed, then press B. Easy way to copy and paste
