Thanks for explaining the exact route through the overdrive setting menu because Roland's own manual only tells you how to navigate to that section and then you are left to work the rest out for yourself. I don't know if the adoption of 4 x 7-segment displays was partly to make the units look as retro as the original instruments they emulate, but IMO a dot-matrix OLED display would have fitted into the same area and made the menus much, much more intuitive to navigate. I'm finding that every time I want to know how to do a specific thing, specifically, I have to come online and have someone tell me how to do it. Thanks for the very useful video, I'll have to go back and watch part 1 now.
thanks for the great tutorial its really helpful. im having troubles clocking it with my arturia keystep pro, would you maybe make a tutorial for clocking it with an external device? thanks
@@Tuulacult maybe you could already help me with the little issue i have? that would be very nice - so i clock the t8 with the arturia keystep pro (arturia master - trs cable from clock out to synch in in the t8), the t8 is getting a signal but while the arturia is set to 130 bpm, the t8 is playing extremly fast bpm maybe 300, if i go to 30 bpm in the arturia, its lowering the bpm in the t8. any idea? thanks in advance
You need to match the clock speed on both devices. To do that open the menu on T8 ("SHIFT" and "OCT+") and navigate to the "S.cLY" option this option is right after the sidechain settings. And set the value to "4" - this value works with my Keystep 32. If T8 clock is still faster or slower try different values, one of them will work. Let me know if it helped!
@@Tuulacult hey thanks a lot for the replay, it somehow still doesn't match it seem like the t8 is getting the signal a few seconds later , if i change the value it change the BPM completely, 4 is indeed the closest but still not exactly. I also tried all the parameters under sync in the utility of the keystep but no luck. Can it be the cable i use to send clock from the arturia to the t8? I used a trs normal cable that i use to patch my modular - maybe i should get a proper 3.5m?
The cable could be the problem (weird glitches are typical) - Roland states in the mono 3.5mm jack (your trs) should be used for the sync clock, however, I'm using a stereo 3.5mm jack cable for syncing my T8 and it works just fine. Unfortunately, I don't have any mono cables to try it out with them. The cable you are using also can be broken. Try these two things: - Open the menu on T8 and navigate to the "SYnC" option, make sure if set to auto (if you plug in jack to sync in and the BPM value on the display changes to "---.-" this part works fine. - In the menu, open "tHPc" and "rHPc", and set both options to off. This disables receiving a transmitting program change MIDI signal. If this doesn't work, I would consider trying a different cable (your modular patch cable), And if it still doesn't solve your problem, buy stereo 3.5mm jack.
As good as Part 1! Thank you! 👍🏻
Best tutorial for Roland t8. When Part 3?
this really helps me, bro please do part 3🙏🏻

hands down the best toturials out there for T8. Are you gonna finish the series with a third video?
Thanks, I'm planning to, but don't have enough time for it right now (work, gigs, etc.).
Thank the best explicación for negó ers … sooo much
Thanks for your videos friend, it would be possible to explain how to connect and synchronize the micro freak with the Roland T8, greetings!!!
Yes, DM me on instagram (@tuulacult), I will help you.
Thank you for the Excellent T-8 content!!
Any time!
Any chance you might cover syncing to PO 33 KO & older midi drum machines like the DR. - 202?? Would be much appreciated
Yes, syncing will be covered in the next part. I don't have these exact devices, but the syncing process will be almost identical as with other stuff.
thanks for this quick overview.
Glad it was helpful!
Hey no one on TH-cam shows how to set it up what do I connect it to it’s not playing thru my interface
Good one!
Ty great Video ❤
Thanks!

Is there a way to do 16th note/fast hihats on the T8?
Yes it is, I covered it in the first part. th-cam.com/video/tBI6n8el57w/w-d-xo.html time in the video - 4:40
Thank you for the video. But it would be much better if it was explained more slowly.
🔥🔥🔥
👍👍👍
I learned that this freaking thing is a complicated fucker! Haha.. Great tutorials thought.
omg that ai voice is creepy good
