The Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer combines the most influential and iconic drum machines of all time into one sleek device. Includes custom sample support and a host of new live performance features to make it the most powerful step sequencer on the market to date.
Designed with the studio producer and live musician in mind, the Roland TR-8S Rhythm Performer evolves the original design of the AIRA TR-8 to make it easier to navigate, sequence and customize. No longer is it just limited to the TR-808 sound bank - it now includes every sound from the most sought-after Roland Drum Machines. With authentic recreations of the 808, 909, 707, 727, and 606, as well as several modified versions and the ability to load your own mono or stereo samples via SD Card - the Roland TR8S is a dream for sound designers as well as beatmakers.
Amongst the new features include a much more creative Effects Bank, with a host of new instrument and Master FX types for limitless sound design. An Auto Fill In feature gives live performers a new tool to shake things up, and an LCD Display makes it super easy to navigate through presets and custom kits.

Thanks, this series is really useful.

[@bigkik]

Thanks a lot, works great also with the tr-6s for the CH/OH mute setting ! This way it is possible to gain one track when putting both OH and CH on the same track using the decay setting.

Great tip, thanks!

[@nikispaintingsilence3287]

thanks man been looking for this which used to be the 707 808 behavior setting in boot mode on original tr8

[@pan_panmusic]

Nice ! I also got my Roland from PMT too 👌🏾😁

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

Please do add subtitles!

[@orlandoprueland826]

can you make the same instrument choke itself?

[@jovantrendmaker4722]

So how you do this in Tr8???

[@Blakespires]

is this basically sidechaining?

[@ScottBrio]

Similar effect but it's technically called mute groups or choke grouping.

[@jovantrendmaker4722]

Its not sidechaining because with SC you can mix two signals like kick and bass. You find sweet spot when kick does not 100% mute bass and you mix them together nicely. With mute groups its different yoi basically mite one sound while other plays at 100*

[@justenwhite7288]

Side chaining is where one sound pushes the other down when it plays. And you choose which does what choking or muting is where one sound stops The other kind of like a Period at the end of a sentence

[@justenwhite7288]

I found another way to do a similar effect on the tr8s And that is using the sequencer's ability to change the decay from a wide open decay or decay. That you like to a note with no decay right after it when you want the Effect, it happened.

[@Amatteus]

This, what you call "muting" is not the same that sidechaining in Ableton or any other daw?..
