Really cool track. This is my favorite setup when I'm stepping out of the studio. Two awesome pieces of gear, sync up beautiful, portable enough, sturdy, affordable. Totally recommend both. Don't forget your midi cable...
Great !! Thank you 🙏 You will find this kick in the first pattern of the firmware update 2.0 (with a bit of tune 😉) I hope you will enjoy your Tr8s. Cheers !
Really nice track, very clever use of the sequencer! I will have to try this. I haven't used the sequencer much on mine as i'm usually sequencing it from the Digitakt or 707. Great stuff!
Thanks mate ! 🙏 I understand why you use the digitakt, it seems to be a very powerful sequencer. Behind the 16 steps of the miniligue xd, there's a lot of features that makes it very interesting but need to explore it more, I only have it since yesterday 😊
Hi, how do you do for selecting which part of the seq you want to loop? I can't on mine with shift and the seq buttons, may be because of the firmware or is there an option in the edit mode?, thanks!
Hi, this was a new feature from update 2.0. By default, shift+step is for favorite patches. For active step function, you need to go to : Edit Mode / global edit / 8th sequencer button (global 6) and click until you see "shift function". Switch "favorite" to "active step" :)
Wow, awesome, I just updated to very last version, big big thank you, tonight I will be testing, I am thinking on buying also a tr8s too, would you recommend it or?. Thanks a lot ❤

I love my minilogue xd and am looking for a drum machine to accompany it. After looking at this video as well as sone reviews I think the TR-8S might be it. It sounds amazing and I like that you can import samples to play with.
@ph911 no, it hasn't. And switching patterns is very delicate with it, it can be out of measure if you're not super precise.. But if you have sequences with same mesaures long, it can be easier..

Just got a tr-8s and a minilogue xd module. I’ve got a novation sl-mk3 that should be able to control it all too. But I’ve been too busy with school to hook it all up! I got them to get these jams out of my head. Just like this one. The semester will be over soon and then I’ll get to rock out. Thanks man.
I understand, not easy. I Have tr8s for almost one year, xd for 6 months, and just scratched the surface to make music with them, not enough free time.. I hope you will make them sing soon :)
I really like the way you youse TR-8S. I think of buying one - thanks to you. Please let me know what do you think about my last production - detroit techno on EMX!
It's great because it brings something else to the box and makes it more versatile than before. Not deep as a real fm engine for sure, but fun to use and sounds good :)
They are connected with a midi cable (midi out to midi in). Midi out will be your master clock. You may check some midi settings if it doesn't work instantly. Here, i wanted tr8s to be the master clock, and i remember i needed to change rx transport in global settings of the xd :)

Haha my bad… but I would like to have the same set up as yours.. I’m a dj but would like to expand my skills making remixes and other things. The keyboard is connected to the TR8s by midi input right? Do the bpm sync up automatically?
Tr8s is the master clock here and minilogue xd is slave. They are connected with midi cable only for the clock (no other midi messages). They both run with their own sequencer in sync. But I remember when I tried the first time, it didn't work. So I searched in the manual and found I needed to change rx transport setting in minilogue xd and it worked. Some gear are "plug and play", some are not. But there's always a solution :)
I'm am in a big dillema on which one to get, the classic korg and xd korg. The dillema comes from the fact that the classic one has beautiful melancholic unique sound but xd sounds very, colourful and has a little touch of the melancholic vibes too but with alot more features, oh...
It's an arp I sequenced with a step resolution 1:1 (equal as 1 bar per step), and I use active step functions to extend the sequence at the half of the track.
How am i supposed to hook up my Minilogue XD ti the Roland tr-8s? Currently im using the Roland as an audio interface in my daw.

Thank you very much 🙏 in the "seq edit" menu, find step sequencer. It is set to 1/16. If you set it to 1/1, a single step is running during 4 beats. Also The next paramater in the menu (something like gate or lenght sorry i don't remember..) is set to 20%, go for 100% and you can sequence long full arps. With the 16 steps, you can make like 256 😁
Thats a fab sound on the mini great work but for those wondering the kick I highly doubt is from the tr8s, probably a sample loaded in after much processing, but just my guess…heavy kick also this ;)
I can confirm the kick comes from the internal sounds of tr8s, an fm one which i only adjust morph a bit, but I don't remember its name in the machine 😅🙏
Thank you, great performance. I just got the TR-8S and love it. I am looking to get the minilogue xd to go with it as well. How do you sync the two of them together?
Thank you ! 🙏 They're sync via tr8s midi out/ xd midi in, start button is the tr8s. I remember i had to change settings in the midi menu of the xd (sorry I don't remember the default settings) , but don't worry you will find them in the owner's manual 😉
Great stuff man! A stupid question from a minilogue newbie: I seems that you managed to trigger the sequence play on the minilogue by starting the TR8S. I can't figure out how to achieve this on my setup. Any hints?
Thank you !🙏 Questions are never stupid 😉 here i plug midi out of tr8s with midi in of minilogue xd and in global settings of minilogue xd, find rx transport is off, turn it on and it should work 🙂
Salut Krostif vieux DJ de la fantastique fantasteck 😉 canon ça aussi mais par contre avec les machines je trouve que parfois certaines boucles sont un peu longues malgré les variations. Bref, s'il te vient l'idée denous faire une petite session de vinyles hard teck disons d'une heure ou plus !

Sorry to bother you, just wondering how to trigger sequence starting on the xd from the TR-8s. I have midi connected and tempo is synced but when I hit start on tr8s, sequence doesn't start on the xd :( love your stuff so much, got my gear due to your work!
No worries man you're welcome 😉 Find rx transport in global settings of minilogue xd. Default setting is off. Turn it to on and it should work. Thanks for the love 🙏💜
Thank you !🙏 to sync them, you need a midi cable. Here it's tr8s midi out to minilogue xd mini in, and turn rx transport off to on in minilogue global settings if you want them to start together :)
Merci, c'est juste une synchro midi, la tr8s en maître et le xd en esclave. Je me souviens que d'origine le xd n'était pas reconnu en esclave, il fallait changer le paramètre clock source sur auto midi ou qq chose comme ça...
Sorry i don't really understand what you mean (me french guy 😅) Each are plugged on their own stereo channel in the mixer (or 2 mono) but you can also plugged minilogue to ext in (L/R) on tr8s. Better have stereo for internal effects 🙂
@@NatLifeSounds ah ok 😀 so tr8s and minilogue are connected via midi. Tr8s is master clock (midi out) and minilogue xd is slave (midi in) but you can do it in reverse (minilogue midi out-tr8s midi in) and the start button will be the minilogue. In any case, be sure to have the right settings in the midi menu of the two machines (who is master and who is slave) 😉
@@krostifmusic I'm just thinking how I can connect my minilogue, prologue and other ten synths with coming tr6s) think you very much! I see tr6s have midi
Thanks a lot !! There are two tricks in fact.. One is to set step sequences to 1:1, a single step is playing 1 bar. And second, it's the active step function added in the update. Here's how to use it, at 4 mn mark in this video th-cam.com/video/Y8oLvq9vKes/w-d-xo.html
@@krostifmusic I watched your video again after your reply (thanks again) and update for XD. Now I clearly see what you are doing here. Great tips for live performance! Will use it in my next gig :-)
Super cool ce morceau !!! Je kiffe, je viens de recevoir ma TR8s et mon minilogue aussi. Peux-tu me dire comment tu as réussi à séquencer ces 8 pas, car on dirait qu'ils font bien plus. Un petit trick !!! ;-)
Il faut que tu ailles dans les paramètres du sequencer (seq edit) puis dans seq parameter, pour ce track j'ai choisi step resolutuon 1/1, et aussi arp parameter 100%. J'utilise aussi le step sequencer pour passer de 2 step au début, à 8 step au break du milieu. Pour l'activer, regardes ici vers 4 mn : th-cam.com/video/Y8oLvq9vKes/w-d-xo.html

Thank you ! Hahaha, loved the description 😂 I agree, there are so much better kicks than this one.. It was the instant :)
Great stuff man! A stupid question from a minilogue newbie: I seems that you managed to trigger the sequence play on the minilogue by starting the TR8S. I can't figure out how to achieve this on my setup. Any hints?
Thank you !🙏 Questions are never stupid 😉 here i plug midi out of tr8s with midi in of minilogue xd and in global settings of minilogue xd, find rx transport is off, turn it on and it should work 🙂
@@krostifmusic Awesome! That was the trick! Many thanks!
Salut Krostif vieux DJ de la fantastique fantasteck 😉 canon ça aussi mais par contre avec les machines je trouve que parfois certaines boucles sont un peu longues malgré les variations. Bref, s'il te vient l'idée denous faire une petite session de vinyles hard teck disons d'une heure ou plus ! Ce serait un IIIIIIIIIIMMENSE KIFF mec 😉 porte toi bien et bravo à Mme pour les petits plats
Armandpapahus sur FB (le gars au chapeau de merlin il y a 20ans ! 🤣🤣🤣) bien à Toi 👍🎼🎛🎚🎹💖
Yep, merci d'être passé par ici 😉 Je n'ai plus de hard tech tribe. J'en avais très peu en fait, une vingtaine à peu près et je m'en suis lassé très vite.. Désolé 😔 me reste quand même la vieille techno, si tu prends à la moitié de ce mix, tu aimeras peut être.. th-cam.com/video/CqxMdzgbjgk/w-d-xo.html
Nice Work Dude 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼🔥🔥
Thank you very much !! 🙏
Sorry to bother you, just wondering how to trigger sequence starting on the xd from the TR-8s. I have midi connected and tempo is synced but when I hit start on tr8s, sequence doesn't start on the xd :( love your stuff so much, got my gear due to your work!
No worries man you're welcome 😉
Find rx transport in global settings of minilogue xd. Default setting is off. Turn it to on and it should work.
Thanks for the love 🙏💜
Nice man
Thank you ! 🙏
Reminds me Tiesto! 🫶🖤
Thank you for the compliment 🙏😊
Sounds wicked loves it 👍🏻
Thanks a lot !! 🙏
nice techno combo here!
Hours of sounds exploration in perspective 🤩
Great video!How did you sync them?🤔
Thank you !🙏 to sync them, you need a midi cable. Here it's tr8s midi out to minilogue xd mini in, and turn rx transport off to on in minilogue global settings if you want them to start together :)
@@krostifmusic Thanks ;)
Wow ! Loved it man
Greetings from Chile 🥳
@@MrCoyoteUC thanks a lot 🙏 You're welcome !!
Carrément bon !! Comment tu fais pour les synchroniser les 2 machine ??
Merci, c'est juste une synchro midi, la tr8s en maître et le xd en esclave. Je me souviens que d'origine le xd n'était pas reconnu en esclave, il fallait changer le paramètre clock source sur auto midi ou qq chose comme ça...
Nice Bro ❤️🥳
Thank you 🙏
Nice 🔥
Thanks ! 🙏
Wow, nice !)
Thank you !🙏
NOT BAD SIR!
Thank you !🙏
Sweet!
Thank you !🙏
Man you make it look so easy lol. This thing is a bit complex lol. I just got mine and I can't figure out how I can get it to work with FL studio?
Thank you ! Sorry, I can't help you, I don't use Fl studio.
Did I sent a Minilogue to one of tr8s channel right?
Sorry i don't really understand what you mean (me french guy 😅) Each are plugged on their own stereo channel in the mixer (or 2 mono) but you can also plugged minilogue to ext in (L/R) on tr8s. Better have stereo for internal effects 🙂
@@krostifmusic ah...I mean when you turn on play button on tr6s sequencer, monologue also starting to play, so I mean how is it working:)?
@@NatLifeSounds ah ok 😀 so tr8s and minilogue are connected via midi. Tr8s is master clock (midi out) and minilogue xd is slave (midi in) but you can do it in reverse (minilogue midi out-tr8s midi in) and the start button will be the minilogue. In any case, be sure to have the right settings in the midi menu of the two machines (who is master and who is slave) 😉
@@krostifmusic I'm just thinking how I can connect my minilogue, prologue and other ten synths with coming tr6s) think you very much! I see tr6s have midi
Amazing content!
Thanks a lot dude !! 🙏
Nice feel man 👍
Thank you ! 🙏
Nikel ça 👍
impressive
...ya man....wow...top
Thanks a lot ! 🙏
Wow. really nice! What's the trick with the sequencer on Minilogue XD here? Got mine yesterday, trying to make the most of it.
Thanks a lot !! There are two tricks in fact.. One is to set step sequences to 1:1, a single step is playing 1 bar. And second, it's the active step function added in the update. Here's how to use it, at 4 mn mark in this video th-cam.com/video/Y8oLvq9vKes/w-d-xo.html
@@krostifmusic Thank you very much sir! I'll try both ways. I'm familiar with active step function on volcas.
@@krostifmusic I watched your video again after your reply (thanks again) and update for XD. Now I clearly see what you are doing here. Great tips for live performance! Will use it in my next gig :-)
@@aleksandrlukin565 you're welcome, glad you have gigs 😃
Dope.
🙏
Samples or ACB?
The kit is a mix of internal samples, acb and fm :)
Sehr cool 👍👍👍👍👍
Danke ! 🙏
fucking dope¡¡¡¡¡
Thank you 🙏 ! Tr8s midi out to minilogue xd midi in only for the clock, no other midi messages :)
Cool👍💡😁
Thanks 🙏🎹😉
Cool
Thank you ! 🙏
Sounds great! ✨
Thank you 😊🙏
Super cool ce morceau !!! Je kiffe, je viens de recevoir ma TR8s et mon minilogue aussi. Peux-tu me dire comment tu as réussi à séquencer ces 8 pas, car on dirait qu'ils font bien plus.
Un petit trick !!! ;-)
Il faut que tu ailles dans les paramètres du sequencer (seq edit) puis dans seq parameter, pour ce track j'ai choisi step resolutuon 1/1, et aussi arp parameter 100%. J'utilise aussi le step sequencer pour passer de 2 step au début, à 8 step au break du milieu. Pour l'activer, regardes ici vers 4 mn :

@@krostifmusic Merci beaucoup, ce serait abusé de te demander quelle est ta suite d'accords ?
@@hiteck301 suis nul en solfège et je me souviens plus très bien, mais je crois que c'est basé sur une descente classique genre La/sol/fa/mi avec l'arpégiateur 😁
@@krostifmusic Peux tu me dire pourquoi j'ai un blanc entre chaque step (cad que l'arpège joué est trop court), j'ai dû modifier un paramètre mais je ne trouve pas ?
@@hiteck301 edit mode / seq parameter (3e bouton allumé sur le sequencer) / clique dessus 3 fois pour default gatetime = mets à 100% :)
