I can’t tell you how much I love my TR-8s. All my favourite drum machines in one box, the CR-78 was the only thing missing!
When you release a new video, I literally clap my hands in excitement.
There is an "save on shutdown" option (somewhere in the utility memory I believe), so you do not need to be a chronic saver!
I've been using this since I got my tr8s but a friend of mine pointed out that it might improve my workflow to eventually disable this when I have the kits I usually use already made for playing, I guess it depends on what you u your tr for. Just some thoughts
big Radiohead fan I can already hear it! Thanks for the video I guess I hit the lottery cus I just bought mine 2 months ago , the editor is a huge help along with your videos Thanks brother !
This morning I was checking out CR78 samples for my TR8S 😂and the update comes out in the afternoon 🤩🤘
Wonderful beat! And this update will save a ton of space on my harddrive where I’ve stored all my CR-78 samples. I
TR8s has an autosave setting if you don't want to worry about saving when you power it off. Not as good as Elektron which is always auto-saving, so if power goes out you are safe. With the TR8s, it only saves if you flip the power button, if your power goes out it won't have saved anything. I learned this the hard way 😂
My TR-6S is arriving later today! I was already so excited, but this timing is just ridiculous. Guess I won't be needing those CR-78 samples I preemptively downloaded!
Blondie's Heart of Glass might be the most iconic use of the CR-78
funny timing as I just cashed in a whole bunch of splice credits for the samples from mars roland pack. Excited to compare the cr78 on the tr6s vs said samples on the m:s. side note: just added a midi mod to a tr77!
Great updates love that Cr -78 sound.
I must have been under a rock when the other update came out version 1.03 Nov 2021 and I just read some of the differences and I don’t understand what the ext in with usb audio means and how to implement it. Have you tried that or done another video I can watch to understand? Thanks so much.
Would be really sick if they release a cr-78 software emulator along with all the other roland drum machine emulators
2:13 was dope... PS do you know if the 6s ever got the mixer view via update that the 8s has?
I'm not sure if you mean like on the Roland TR software app? I'm assuming that it did because both were updated at the same time.
You can “auto-save” on the TR-8s, so when you switch it off it’ll save before shutting down.
HI can anybody tell me why the cr78 is not showing up in my kits with v3 firmwear and latest tr editor and clou manager im all up to date but NO CR78 please help cheers
How is the chromatic bass any different from motion recording the tuning on any other bass? Like, why not just motion record tuning per step on the regular 808 bass? I really don't get what is so chromatic about it. There are some FM basses in the 8s that have actual note parameters which you can dial in notes rather than some coarse version of the already present tuning. I really don't get what the fuss is about.
it's been a while since i've used this function so I can't answer this question right now - BUT my Discord is full of brains that can probably help you out - here's an invite:

hey! i made update, backup, restore factory setting . so i get cr78 sounds and cr78 patterns, But when i reload my old patterns from backup i lost cr78 beats, because my beats are also on the same pettern number like cr78. how to do it to have both worlds ?
thanks for the video! question. following you do the chromatic bass section, and im not sure what I am doing wrong but no matter what, I cant get the individual steps to play the different tone. i am holding each step individulally and tweaking the ACB as you are but when I play in back the rune is the same on all the steps. any suggestions? thanks in advance. love the channel!
I can finally delete my CR-78 samples! I hope Roland continues to show the Tr-8s love with updates over the years to come.
Could I control the kick pitch using oxi one? Id love a tutorial on that.
Have they added global outputs yet? I hate that my outputs change every time i change kits.
If we factory reset for the update do we lose our imported samples and patterns?
"The sound of music" .. with all its tones .. complexities .. rhythms .. purpose .. cheers to opening the " pandora's box" to all the possibilities ...
to get 6 new sounds is it worth for the update procedure?
Absolutely! Because of the nature of ACB- it’s literally like having an entirely new iconic drum machine in your TR
Adding CR78 is most welcome. But damn…very underwhelming update otherwise. 1:) Still the MAJOR issue introduced after version 2.0 where triggering pattern changes via external midi program change causes the beat to skip/stutter and fall out of time. 2:) still rigidly locked to the grid with no possibility of say, having a clap hit slightly before or after the beat, so lame. 3:) still no way to use the pads for basic melodic lines instead of this tedious coarse tune programming.
And now it’ll likely be another 6 months to a year of these issues before any possibility of another update. C’mon Roland.
@@embersandash really? I’ll have to check it out…Elektronauts says opposite haha
@@schmapps1 my bad man - i read the post too fast before coffee. It ain’t fixed. 🤦🏻♂️
When i updated mine today i still says at kit 085: LAST STEP DEMO. Can anyone help me? At the video i see the name CR78..
Are the CR78 samples?
They’re ACB so they’re not just plain old one shot samples- they respond the same way the OG CR-78 does
Mines still 1.00 so I’m still gutted be a use I don’t use computers. M iPhone might be able if I get a photo thing. Light ad d pt( sorry. I’m eating. ). One handed.
@@LiamKillen u know that’s true. Sometimes I think that I’m bored but then their is all new sounds etc. 🎶
I installed 2.0 on the TR 6s but..... The Cr 78 sounds are there but no Cr 78 Kit... Weird world
@@PuRe_AdDicT holy moly…. Ok I hear ya. Thank you 🙏.
But can I restore some user patterns and kits I created afterwards from a backup ? I find this new workflow and “saving” world confusing coming from the comfort of a daw 😵💫
@@LiamKillen I simply made a Kit out of the Cr 78 sounds. I decided that “no way I am erasing and then manually restore all my customization and patterns , kits etc just to have one extra new kit restored” . I find the update a but underwhelming tbh but I am not unthankful for it
Where are my microtiming and parameter lock.....
@@ZETONEproductions but what about battery powered and my adorable faders(tiny though🧐
Sounds nothing like a CR78 to me. You'd be better off just using a sample pack TBH.
maybe ! It's like an enhanced CR-78 though because you've got so much more control over all of your drum sounds.
The TRS8 is a great machine,
However , the TR editor is Cloud based and its a licence nightmare, never using any Roland cloud software again.
Being forced to be online constantly is a pain, I bought the damn thing let me use it piece.
Sorry to hear this! Is there maybe some sort of dongle situation maybe or is online the only option?
This is a fun machine--BUT--the Behringer RD8 blows this thing away!
The pre-sale advertising for the RD8 promised chromatic control of the kick via midi. Was so annoyed when this was turned out to a complete lie. Luckily, I bought a TR6S later (I do use both, though)
The sounds are crap and I see no use for the CR78! I don’t see any new music in any of the genres of today using the these ACB samples. Roland need to focus on the next type of sound design and bring in something new, instead of regurgitating the same old crap!
