Just got my TR-8S a few days ago to have while I finish out the last of my chemotherapy, and after a bunch of tutorial videos on how to use it, watching yours a few times helped learn how to really PLAY it. Such a dynamic machine! Having so much more fun with it than I already was! Thank you!
The BassStation II was my very first synth, and I just picked up the TR-8S a few weeks ago. Was happy to stumble upon your set, recording just the way I do! No mastering, all live. Nice set.
This is awesome! I keep coming back to this video, I love the subtle textures and the hypnotic rhythms you’ve made. I think I need a tr8s to accompany my BS2!
Same here. I love the bass tone and the intricate little textures that keep it moving forward. I have a Tr-8 but can see the 8s joining my arsenal in the very near future
Such a great Sound ! Fantastic track for only these two instruments. I own both myself and hearing this makes me wanna spend less time in front of the computer and more time in front of these bad boys! nicely done!
Well that was humbling video for me and anyone else who thought they were pretty good with their TR-8S 😂 Amazing job - more creativity and variety there than Roland’s promotional vids.
This is above any regular techno set you can hear at a club, well done. Are these built in sounds? or did you put your own samples into it as well? I am thinking about a live setup: RD8s, sh101, tb303, some effect pedals and maybe my rc505.
Hey man, awesome jam! How are you sequencing the bass station? Did you sync it with the TR and use the ext in? Or is there another way to use the TR in combo with a synth
It’s mind blowing if you think how many classics of different genres the 808/909 where used on. Will be interesting to see what the next gen does with this, I realise it’s not analogue but it’s getting harder to tell, and it has so many features the originals did not. Enjoyed your jam 👍 trying not to let it make me pull the trigger. Gunna wait till the used prices go down. Wonder if anyone will be paying 5 grand for one of these in 30 years time!!!
Very good, good talking drum machine... a fundamental piece of the four that are in the configuration of Disc Show Man... you need some electronic percussion, a good synthesizer keyboard and a good multi pad... Good luck and let's all go with joy ....
What is the parameter that lets you do that echo thing... I know it's probably called reverb, but my reverb doesn't seem to work that way... Great demo by the way. :)
I’ve had a TR8s and Bass Station ii for a couple years to play for fun, but I’ve never been able to get them to properly sync. I have every cable imaginable (got frustrated and bought 2 of each and every one available at guitar center). How to I properly sync them with my monitor speakers?
Just got my TR8s today and learned so much by watching you perform. I now get how to use the delay and how you bring tracks in for a moment that catch the tail of the delay. Thats dope. I know the control knoweb is assignable. May I ask what function you assigned your control knob to on ride cymbal track? It seems like it's says depth of LPF when you turn that cntr knob. It creates such a powerful and hypnotic vibe. I love it dude. Thanks again for opening my eyes early on.
Hi Bob! Glad to see that my video helped you. It probably the LPF on that knob (dont forget to push up the resonance a bit to give more presence to the sound). Enjoy the new baby 🙂
@@sylys1116 right on. Thanks. And I know this sounds like a dumb question, but could a Moog Sub 37 be used the same way the Bass Station was used to sidechain the signal into the TR8s? I am not familiar with this technique or how it works. Thanks again.
Was already planning on the Tr8s as my next buy but this just sold me even more. Was thinking of an impact or drum brute but this is a step up. Cost as well but worth it I think.
The problem I am having for now, is that the Velocity-sensitive pad would have been more useful to get the kind of fast/multi-notes convoluted rhythmical beats I want to get out of an instrument, but when I use this, the playback doesn't get replicated as such, instead it plays back in single-notes non-fast-rhythmical pace, that is unintended. It appears that this problem I am experiencing is related to perhaps tempo setting issue?, or perhaps only achievable using sub steps and flams?. Any hints/tips appreciated.
Amazing! That sound that comes and goes, on the 7th track of your 8s! Love it! Is that a sample or one of the synthesized drums? I just ordered one and can’t wait to jam with it!
GREAT! I don't really understand how this works? Does the Basstation sound come live in the TR-8S? SO no sample import ? Could you please tell us how the setup works? Thanks!!!!!!!
The BassStation sends the audio output into the "EXT IN" of the TR-8S. I also connect them via MIDI cable to sync the clocks. In this case I only use one continus note that is sidechained by the TR-8S to create the pumping effect. Hope this helps !
@@sylys1116 ah i understand now. The sidechain keeps the bs2 in check without midi connections made. Very clever. Never thought of that. I habe both machines aswell and still learning a lot daily. Thanks a lot for the reply.
Are you using any external effects for the Bass Station ? is that all coming of the effects of TR8s? Using any imported samples ? Or just the Tr8s Kits ?
Thanks! $100 is not a lot to get a synth, but I would recommand looking for a korg volca (eventually a second hand). The Bastl Instrument Kastle seems to be an interesting toy fitting your budget, but I never tested it for now.

Hope you are doing well and still having fun making music. I'm thinking about buying one tomorrow!
Like will u survive?
Thanks for such a nice feedback. Hope you're fine.
Rock on dude🤘
Wait what Chemotherapy? Hope you're alright mate!
I just ordered my TR-8S as my B-day present (a month early). If I get wife-aggro, I'm sending her here. You're to blame. Cheers! :)

Probably one of the best live youtube jams I've seen.
video after video in trying to find information about the tr8 I got stuck watching the jam
Great vid man, definitely feeling inspired now! My Tr-8s is coming tomorrow I look forward to using it!
This is awesome! I keep coming back to this video, I love the subtle textures and the hypnotic rhythms you’ve made. I think I need a tr8s to accompany my BS2!

Nice, man! Love the dark vibe, good showcase for the tech.
great sound man! I need to get back into techno too. love your jam!
I stopped counting how often i listend to this…thanks
one of the best demos so far , glad i found it!
Blessed artist ... and a cool tattoo, too (especially to one on the right arm)
Very early John Digweedish. Love it!
one of 1st inspirational jams on tr8s
Awesome jam, you are really showcasing the potential of the TR-8S!
Well that was humbling video for me and anyone else who thought they were pretty good with their TR-8S 😂 Amazing job - more creativity and variety there than Roland’s promotional vids.
This rocks !! I wanna get myself a bass station II, and eventually a tr8-s and if this corker isn’t a sign..
Great pacing and I love the use of the delays. Nice jam! 👍👍
Hi, nice song ! Just got mine yesterday and omg i m totally in love with this tr-8s !
Nice one! Love how you jam with the delays!
that migros ice tea in the background is the best in the world
watching you play the machine Is like playing a guitar. it takes finesse .
That was an amazing set of great tracks. Thank you for that!
Thanks for your support !

Dang, that was good! :)
Cool work, I ordered the TR-8S, I'm really excited.
Yeah i ordered mine too a week ago. Still have to wait till february though :( sold my tr-8. Butt i have my Maschine mk3 still :)
@@chrismacintos6304 yeah, they also told me about some delay, that's a pity. But means we can look forward to it a bit longer😉
@@duburbian3574 TRUE! Where did you ordered yours?
@@chrismacintos6304 in Germany, Online Shop
@@duburbian3574 I was about to order at Thomann but they've told me that the next batch would be there at 15 february. Did you order there?
Very very nice! Thumbs up👍👍👍
Man, but I like this! Nice work!

Nice Jam! the TR8S looks great
Great sounding Jam! Nice one!
Awesome, is BassStation only for the baseline with filer cutoff?
Yes exactly
Great jam...My proposed set up too, glad i found this...keep it up.
Very good, good talking drum machine... a fundamental piece of the four that are in the configuration of Disc Show Man... you need some electronic percussion, a good synthesizer keyboard and a good multi pad... Good luck and let's all go with joy ....
Can you make a tutorial video on the Roland TR-8S and how you like to setup your effects and sample on it to sound so clean and natural.
FAAAAAAAK!!! U r killin' it dude!
Hahaha thx bro
What is the parameter that lets you do that echo thing... I know it's probably called reverb, but my reverb doesn't seem to work that way... Great demo by the way. :)
Thanks ! Yeah that is the built-in reverb on the master FX. You can change the settings (type, time, etc) vit Shift + Kit.
Very Good Stuff Thanks!!
sounding really good. much more inspiring than the talky demos (no disrespect to them)
really nice beat!
Nice! Inspiration to get the bs2 out 😁 not tried the ext in yet on the tr8s. Mmmmmm good work 👌🔥👌
@Leon Woodman are u still on it? pretty impresive stuff here
Hi there. Am thinking of buying this combo. What's your verdict ?
Go for it. I extended the kit with a behringer neutron to get better lead synths
is the hats that starts around at 0:43 and 2:24 from the buit in factory kits or you imported your own sample? Sounds too surreal to my ears god...
This comes from the factory samples. I just used a long feedback delay. Thx for the feedback :-)
great job man! beautifull mental tekno!
cool track , nice combo of gear :-)
Nice flow
Damn dude, this is killer!! Best TR8s video I have ever seen tbh.

well done. More please. :-)
Excellent groove
Dream setup
good live jam :) greetz:)
Really nice work with the TR8s Leon!
This is so awesome. Great work
Hey Leon, your bs2 is not syncing via midi? Did you just manually set the tempos on 129 and pressed start to see if it would align? :)
Lovemusic Hateracism love this..👻💯❤️
Amazing set! ❤️
Cool deep and dark jam👽 It reminds me of one of my tracks🙂
Man are you on facebook after listning to this im gonna get this combo but need help in the set up.
Fantastic work thanks

When you use the velocity-sensitive pad, the steps will be quantized. Maybe in the user manual you can find a way to quantize using more (sub-)steps
Excellent demo, much better than listening to someone trying to explain what everything is lol
I wasn't sure which one to buy: tr8s or novation circuit (half price of tr8s)
Now, because of you, I think I know
Thanks for the vid
Excellentissime
Soooo nice, thanks for sharing!
Excellent
Very Nice Bro!!!! Super Track!!! Peace
Really nice
Awesome bro
Amazing! That sound that comes and goes, on the 7th track of your 8s! Love it! Is that a sample or one of the synthesized drums? I just ordered one and can’t wait to jam with it!
Very very nice !
Simple but effective, well done!
Complicated usually sucks. Simple is best !!!
@8:17 daaaaaaamn
very nice vibes , thx ♥
Nice, brings Dubfire to mind!
Awesome! I’m thinking of getting a TR 8
awesone job!
i see you used ext in to join bsII to roland, what extra options do you have with this configuration? you can use a fx for ext in only ?
How do you keep the tr8s in sync with the bass station?
I dont. The BS only plays a steady tone, and the pumping effect is made with the sidechain on the input of the TR
hey mais stylé l'ami!
;)
NICE WORK!
Really good!
Are you using an external echo pedal/module on a selected output?
Nope
GREAT!
I don't really understand how this works? Does the Basstation sound come live in the TR-8S? SO no sample import ?

How did you connect the bass station? I see no midi connection made here. Only the ext in.
How did you sync both machines???
There is only one constant note pumped by the sidechain of the TR
@@sylys1116 ah i understand now. The sidechain keeps the bs2 in check without midi connections made. Very clever. Never thought of that. I habe both machines aswell and still learning a lot daily. Thanks a lot for the reply.

Please look at the other comment, you'll find the answers.
9:49: yeah!!!
Wicked!
I like tour style of techno if you were to get a bassline synth under $100 what one would you choose
Thanks! $100 is not a lot to get a synth, but I would recommand looking for a korg volca (eventually a second hand). The Bastl Instrument Kastle seems to be an interesting toy fitting your budget, but I never tested it for now.
would pay to see you live!
Nice work !!! good flow :)
good machine!
4:41 CAT!!!
Amazing man what's the secret to those sounds lots of delay on each track ?
Mostly long delay and reverb
Good job, fresh
