It feels like such a wonderful feeling, with the entire digital Layout. These amazing Instruments, and soon to be focused soft ware for certain units. Roland, Akai Pro and Pioneer I decided to invest in. The Aira releases and subsequent projects by AKAI and Pioneer, I am really looking forward to now, and tomorrow.
So happy I held out on selling my tr8s! This solved exactly the issue I had with the machine and what shelved it for me to begin with. Great job Roland!!!
TR-8S. Best drum machine ever. Glad I got mine--this thing is going to be as legendary as the earlier drum machines, which themselves fetch nearly $10,000 on the used market.
So does this editor is a vst you can drag into a midi track in your daw? Or do we still have to record via our interface to get the sound/kits out of it?
@@cesarq6011 Don't know much about it myself yet, but I'm assuming it's simply a GUI that works alongside your hardware to simplify the workflow--menu diving is real on the TR-8S and this software would make things a lot faster. If it were a VST, I could see it demanding several hundred dollars over "free."
NICELY Done Roland! Adding utility to my TR8S Your willingness to support your products years after release made me just put a deposit down on a Fantom 8! Will have it by next month!
Has to be one of the MOST EXCITING software products to debut this year for sure!!!!My TR-8S is already incredibly easy to make a beat with,THIS program just expanded it’s VERSATILITY beyond belief.I am almost speechless,and is it actually FREE???The TR8-S was already a masterpiece of engineering,this software is going to make it even more LEGENDARY!!
This completely changes the usability and workflow speed for the unit. And the reason why I got the TR-8S now instead of other options on the market. Still missing is direct sample import ...
Thanks Roland! This is an awesome game changer for the TR-8S! It will help a lot to create new patterns and edit existing ones, more easy, fast and detailed (if you need). I'll grab the editor right now! 👏
Thankyou Roland! This has just made the TR8-S the best Drum Machine EVER! Now I can see whats going on easily and simply. Gamechanger. Massive Massive upgrade. Now I get it 😀 Menu Diving made easy. Just brilliant.
Yeah it’s such a drag you have to file each separate sample separately on the hardware, tell it what kind of sound it is, manually. It’s crazy you can’t batch load from folders with automatic tagging, or at least do that biz on the librarian.
Thank you ! so badly needed. there was a 3rd party attempt that didn't work and I'd been needing this for some time. really happy you guys created this.
The software does amplify the functionality of the TR-8S hardware. If could be more user-friendly if the software also showed the current Pattern and Kit numbers in the top-left main display. I also agree with other comments from users about showing the step play position in the overall Pattern view. This would be great visual integration if the play position on the device was followed in the software.
Thx! It will be great to make this as a VST to control TR-8S parameters in DAW. With this you can do a lot of interesting things like external LFO to TR-8S knobs or some more random features... And I am realy waiting for function to use TR-8S as an card reader.
I've become very impressed with this product since the FM and software editor updates. Very tempted to buy now. I think it would be cool if the next version or the TR-8S as laid out more like the editor Overall Tab 1:26 - an extra row of knobs for Inst Fx and scribble strip displays under the control and inst fx and the name of the instrument / sample chosen to give instant visual feedback. A next level TR8s would look like the INST Tabs in the editor 6:33 with dedicated knobs for everything and a scribble strip displays. It would be very expensive but incredibly amazing and definitely worth it.
Thank you, Roland! Only one question: how do I use this editor to import/export/manage my samples? That would be a major function one would expect from an editor for a drum machine that relies heavily on samples, which is surprisingly absent.
Please add a MIDI learn function for the knobs so we can control the effects with physical knobs! Since the midi implementation was never completed for individual effects controls it would be nice to do it with the editor. Using a mouse is no fun! :)
Great... but... would be useful to have the START/STOP button as well as the large white trigger button on the editor interface... for those os us who have distance between the computer and the unit. Thanks.
Was thinking about getting a TR-8S but was concerned about the amount of menu diving required. This looks like it will help but yet another bit of software to learn on top of the hardware!
The menu diving is a bit daunting at first but after a week in makes sense and is actually super simple, just a number of shift functions to become those good habits
Is anyone else having issues getting the editor to recognize their TR-8S? I know the USB cable is working because I can see it in Finder when I'm updating firmware (for example). I just can't select the device when I launch the Editor.
I am definitely thankful and loving this editor but, man, this is buggier than Louisiana in July. The resolution does not fit my screen, cutting the entire bottom part containing the motion editor off. And the sliders keep sticking. Then I have pull down menus that won't pull down. Once that happens the whole application freezes up soon after. As I stated earlier, I love this application and am very grateful for it. Hopefully Roland has been made aware of these bugs.
#RolandChannel @RolandChannel please give some help to Calico Jack, he is having issues. I'm also one of the affected by this issue, so there are many people who expects a solution for this as soon as possible. Thank you
That's a nice new, and it makes the TR8S well more friendly to use ! And now, for the next update, what about a step probability ? It will really take those machines to another level !
Thanks for the update @RolandChannel. In the Editor > Patter, how do you toggle the ‘Scale’ function (above the step sequencing grid) on the TR8S hardware itself?
Was not expecting this. I love the aira line so much and it makes me happy that you're still supporting these wonderful devices.
agreed. this kind of thing is not what Roland usually does.
❤️
I was wishing for it! It makes things sooo much easier. Thank you Roland.

What was the issue ?. I’m thinking on buying one
Great, thank you for developing this awesome instrument! Next step - loading / managing samples via USB :D

Roland please can we have an editor / librarian for the MC-707 / MC-101, would really help the production workflow for these excellent machines.
NICELY Done Roland! Adding utility to my TR8S
Your willingness to support your products years after release made me just put a deposit down on a Fantom 8!
Will have it by next month!
YES YES YES roland yall are really knocking it out of the park lately! Also, just preordered the sp404 mk2 !!
Very happy right now! An official editor !!!
All the folks who hate menu diving are loving this 😂. I'm just looking forward to testing this with my DAW.
Holy crap, this is a HUGE deal!!! Well done Roland!!!
MC 101/707 editor on the way, I wonder...?
Has to be one of the MOST EXCITING software products to debut this year for sure!!!!My TR-8S is already incredibly easy to make a beat with,THIS program just expanded it’s VERSATILITY beyond belief.I am almost speechless,and is it actually FREE???The TR8-S was already a masterpiece of engineering,this software is going to make it even more LEGENDARY!!

This is really a great thing it would be amazing if it allowed for moving samples to and from the unit.
yes!
Yes!
YES!!!
Yes, odd it’s not included as most of the others features are just as easy on the unit once you learn how to use.
YES!!!
Thanks Roland! This is an awesome game changer for the TR-8S! It will help a lot to create new patterns and edit existing ones, more easy, fast and detailed (if you need). I'll grab the editor right now! 👏

Hallelujah! Wanted this for ages!! Game changer for work flow. Thank you Roland!
Thanks for this Roland! We love you for this. Looking forward to future updates, maybe sample load options?
With MIDI learn we could configure a controller to move the params :) It would be an awesome VST as well (no sounds, same app but as a VST).
At first I was looking at the TR-6S, then after seeing the MC-101 I changed my mind. Now, I watch this, and I want both! hahaha Good one, Roland ;)
Amazing again !! Top notch and great news for Roland fans ...Roland Mc 707 next ??
Sample import and probability (per step and for FX as well)! Come on Roland!
Seems pretty good but wouldn't sample import have made sense on the editor?
Yeah it’s such a drag you have to file each separate sample separately on the hardware, tell it what kind of sound it is, manually. It’s crazy you can’t batch load from folders with automatic tagging, or at least do that biz on the librarian.
Thank you ! so badly needed. there was a 3rd party attempt that didn't work and I'd been needing this for some time. really happy you guys created this.
Game changer! Thank you, Roland!!!
This editor is almost perfect. Thank you Roland. Please implement samplemanagement now.
This is huge for me in so many ways.
Now I can see everything and change anything instantly on the fly!
Amazing, Thanks Roland!
Yes! I already love my tr6s but this just makes it that much better!
Fingers crossed for something similar for the MC 707
This is phenomenal news! I'd say a little bit late in coming but late is better than never. Thankyou Roland! 🙏🏼
How many times a day will I have to log into Roland Cloud for this to work properly?
Brilliant editor! Makes the Tr-8s even more powerful 😃 Please make an editor for MC-101, that would be frosting on the cake. Thank you Roland.

Ouch, so is it not yet possible ?
Is automation not available?
@@ET2carbon only internal
Was oscilating between tr8s and maschine mk3.
Even before seeing this video was incling towards the tr8s, but now im 100% sure. Thanks
GEILES Update! Endlich schönes bearbeiten am PC. TOP
Amazing! Now waiting for something similar for the MC-101!!
I love that I can re-color the sliders I'm not using far more easily!! Love this!
This is honestly a fantastic help, thanks Roland, Id love to see similar for my mc707 also. One love.
Well I know what I'll be doing all weekend. THANK YOU ROLAND!!
Would be cool to see this become an app I can get on the iPad and make the tr6/8s class compliant
YES!! More votes for this functionality!!
I'm waiting and expecting the same for the MC-101. Soonner or laterrrrrr?
MC707 getting no love? Dying for an editor...
I think MC707 have it's all internal, it is really no needs in editors, but tr6s needs it like oxygen:)
Oh im sure they will.
agree, specially for mc-101
Zenology works in a similar way for the synth engine on the MC. Not the total solution, but gives you a way to import patches and other things
I agree, the 707could actually use an external editor. The 606 I feel is perfectly usable and efficient as a standalone instrument.
This is great and unexpected news! I was afraid my TR-8S was about to be obsolete but this makes it even better and up to date. Thank you!
obsolete?? this Machine was born with endless possibilities !
Awesome! Just need to be able to send WAVs directly from the computer to the TR-8S/6S now - that would be a game changer
This is incredible, my TR8-S will be back in use now!
I hope you make this for the mc101
Sample import option would be nice rather than having to use SD card. Next update yea!! Cheers for this. Looks A1
This looks really useful. Can’t wait to try it out. Good job!
MC101, the same please
Well done. Absolute game changer for me
Really nice. MC-101/707 editor next? :D
I’m a proud owner of a TR8s just added the new SP-404 MK ll to the stable 🙌🏾 just waiting on it to ship! 🙏🏾
Just out of interest what does the 404 do that the Tr8s doesnt?
@@maccagrabme the sampling in my opinion, i like to sample like MF Doom and i believe my TR8s doesn’t give me sufficient time like the sp404 does
And also the sp404 is a mobile machine, TR8s stays in my studio
Yo editor is super OP
Cant wait to download this what a complement to an already awesome drum machine. Im always on the road and tr6s is perfect cheers.
Thanks ! This is very very very handy for management. Thank you so much.
Fantastic! Please please give us a basic librarian for the system 8 too!
what nice walkthrough... thanks! i´ll get on it right now

Now how amazing would it be if you released something like this for the System-8. Please!!!
OMG, MC-101 so need the same tool!!
Thank you! You guys are back!
Thank you, Roland! Only one question: how do I use this editor to import/export/manage my samples? That would be a major function one would expect from an editor for a drum machine that relies heavily on samples, which is surprisingly absent.
This is a great question - dealing with your own samples right now is a slight pain in the butt, let's hope it gets added afterwards.
This is the way.
I was going to ask the same questions. Please Roland, add a screen to import and manage samples. Samples groups or folders would be great too.
+1 for this functionality. I feel like it was a bit miss in the otherwise great improvement that the TR Editor provides
Please add a MIDI learn function for the knobs so we can control the effects with physical knobs! Since the midi implementation was never completed for individual effects controls it would be nice to do it with the editor. Using a mouse is no fun! :)
Very great ! A big thanks for Roland !
Dear roland, are we going to see a MC101 editor and librarian eventually?
This is brilliant!
Amazing... just an amazing addition to an already stunning instrument
I actually felt Joy when I say the pattern Screen. Thank you
@roland
Holy smokes this is exactly what I was waiting for for a while now 😍😍😍
Thank you so much, Roland! This looks amazing and helpful.
Thank you, Roland!
Well done Roland !!!
I love my tr8s but it would be dope if they would expand the sampling capabilities like time stretching or directly sampling into the device.
So happy when I knew about it, but now I am so frustrated because my OS is not able to run this Editor!!!! Mac (10.12 Sierra)
best drum machine ever?
Thank you for making this. Again thank you.
Great... but... would be useful to have the START/STOP button as well as the large white trigger button on the editor interface... for those os us who have distance between the computer and the unit. Thanks.
Why haven't you released a stand alone editor for the MC707 Roland?
Was thinking about getting a TR-8S but was concerned about the amount of menu diving required. This looks like it will help but yet another bit of software to learn on top of the hardware!
The menu diving is a bit daunting at first but after a week in makes sense and is actually super simple, just a number of shift functions to become those good habits
@@DJeMo people tend not to go through their manual so it's confusing to many.
We need side chane for MC 707 too!
Nicely done!
would really love to see how this improves the 6S 🙏
What do you have for the MC-707 Roland
MC-101 and MC-707 editor next please! Zenology Pro isn’t a substitute for a dedicated editor.
Awesome, that’s a great preXmas gift, thx Roland!
Very nice ! Thank you Roland :)
Brilliant can't wait to try it out 😃
What the woooooooahh, thanks Roland! Very much thanks for supporting at this Level 😱😍💗😻
Nicely done.

I wish we had this for the JD-Xi or the MC101. :(
