😂 There almost wouldn’t be a synth/house/techno/new wave scene in history without Roland and very few synth makers haven’t copied or cloned something from Roland’s Synth Museum, i.e. Volca Bass is a poor TB-303 copy.
I’m old enough to have gone to acid house raves in the late 80s and these machines have captured the authenticity of the acid sound. Better even as they sound clearer.
Roland Wolca, anyway the T 8 sounds interesting hope ir doesnt cost a much as the "Boutique" ones, if that Will be the case better go for elektron samples...... Damn Beringerh Will soon launch New mini synths too
Just got the T8 and it’s amazing. The drum machine, 303 and reverb and delay and distortion basically gives you all you need for some acid feats. Found the ads a little bit misleading though- they show a 909, 808 and 606 next to each other. But it’s more like an 808 with a 909 kick where you can switch the claps and toms from 808 to 909. Or something like that. I was totally expecting a 909 hihat, but it’s not how it works. I do hope there will be a T9 at some point. But if you’re okay with that- I am actually, it is still a hell of a deal at this price. 303 and a 809ish thing with 3 effect pedals. It’s a little bit like rebirth from propellerheads, just for real :-D.
Now the higher end TR-6S and 8S deserve a nice firmware update inheriting from some of the features found on the T-8 : - USB class compliant audio/midi mode - ability to use the midi ports as « sync » - chromatic keyboard input - internal side-chaining. 😊
Chromatic keyboard input IS super needed for the TR6S! (and should not be very difficult to program.) I have entered many of my songs into it using the knobs and the "Gross Tune" parameter, but it is a very slow process.
12:00 For E-4, we'd like to be able to set the wet/dry balance of the vocal fx! (As is doable on the VT4) because "sometimes you don't want to be 100% robot"
I have one question guys. I will travel with a small mini jack speaker. Can I connect the 3 roland and play it with only one in in my speaker ? Or do I need an intermediary between the 3 roland and my speaker ? thx
I would have bought it if J-6’s screen wasn’t just an 80s era 4 characters one and actually showed the chords and presets it’s playing instead of a bunch of cryptic numbers 😉
Looks cool, but without knowing what chords are in the sequence it seems too much of a black box. I would have loved if this was a slightly larger form factor so you could have a proper OLED or LCD display on the J-6 and show what chords are in a sequence. I would gladly pay more for a larger version that had that.
That J-6 looks like it’s begging to control other gear via midi and looks like an interesting way to quickly make a new chord sequence for song structure
Cute little machines. Congrats Roland teams. For the T-8 : would have been very useful to have choices between at least 808 and 909 sounds on the kick/snare/clap. I see there is some choice but usually 606 only as alternative and looks like there is only one 909 kick. I love the inclusion of TB-03 into it instead of yet another 303 remake. USB-C Class compliant is very cool too (even if it’s only stereo). I wonder if the battery is user replaceable or if it’s basically a « consumable » unit in the mid/long-term.
Anything is replaceable by the user with the right tools and skills. A Lithium ion battery shouldn't be too hard to replace. But definitely take some time to learn about Lithium Ion batteries as they can be very dangerous if not handled properly!
How do I connect and synchronize the three devices that will work on the same BPM together? Do I need to connect them with an aux cable up in the connections? Or on the front of the device in midi inputs? Thanks to those who answered.

Hi please check my Aira compact videos there are 2 ways. You can use aux cables to sync them select main tempo creator for example T-8. Then connect T-8 midi out to j-6 midi in. Then connect j-6 midi out to s-1 midi in. And so on… or you can use sync out and sync in slots as well as midi in & outs
These actually look pretty interesting to me. Having a drum machine that cheap with multiple modelled instruments is a plus. I was considering going all out and getting a tr8s, but it's expensive. The tr6s is so similar in price that it would be worth it to upgrade to the tr8s from that. But something cheaper might make me actually pull the trigger. The auto tune is slightly cheaper than the previous one, which is nice. I'm not so sure about having a chord synth that's a 4 note emulation of a 6 note polyphonic synth though?
There volca fm2 has 6 voices and is the same price. Ill be waiting on the behringer minis b4 picking up anything. There half the price but well see what sacrifices are made in the final product. These mini moduals are exactly the kind of thing im into tho. Hope everything releases b4 2023. Would be nice.
@@adamkrasneski3679 sorry when I wrote this I thought you could switch between drum machine models on the T8 like you can on the Tr6s and Tr8s (eg choose between an 808 or 909 kit), since the marketing kinda implied that. But you can't actually do that - it's just that the different channels are a fixed mishmash of these different models for some reason. I don't really want to be stuck with one set of sounds (excluding parameter tweaking)
Nice! Does Roland want to expend this range? I would really want to see a synth from the D range like the D5 for D-50 or the D2 or D1 for the D-20 or D-10. Or a chromatic sampler . You could call it the S5.

Is it possible to record directly from the device to the computer? Or do I have to connect the Roland to a sound card and the sound card to the computer? Thanks to those who answered
Damn that T-8 sounds like an even cheaper, more compact and more modern and powerful option than getting a 606 and 303 clone from you-know-who. That's hella freaking impressive. (You do miss sóme control over bass sounds, but you do get fx sends, modern bass sequencer and a lot more drum sounds in return.) This is probably a must-have.
Which is fine if u dont want/need the extra outputs. That was what sold me on the clones. The 909 in particular. Wish it was the size of an rd6, or better yet one of these.
Ima wait on the bringer minis b4 plunging into mini gear, but i may have to grab that vox effect. Shame it doesnt have a built in compressor and/ distortion though.
@@adamkrasneski3679 yes, I do! I haven't had any problems with it. But I haven't updated the firmware or even hooked it to a computer yet. It has a lot more possibilities than any of these new mini synths. For $200, you can't beat it

I have the S-1 and that defaults to MIDI channel 3. So at a guess you'll probably find the T-8 using channel 10 (or possibly 16!) and then the other two will most likely be using channels 1 and 2 by default.
I have the S1 and the J6, both great synthesizers, I will get and the T8. Now, what is missing from this compact series is a compact synth with grand piano sound and with the same design as these little beauties!!! Why? Because the piano sound fits nicely with the electronic sound. Please Roland, please do it...

My first thought as well. If they’re not easily replaceable we’re potentially buying a future paper weight or gonna have to use it plugged in forever after a few years
It will be interesting to see how easy replacing the battery is. I don't think they've designed it so it can be replaced, but it may just be a case of popping off the back and doing a small amount of soldering. If they've not cheaped out on components, the battery may last a good 10 years or so before it needs to be replaced, we'll have to see
Love my new T-8. Can't stop making acid techno riffs, but please add recordable automation in an update, even if it's just for the 303, and maybe more drum sounds. Would prefer 909 hats tbh.
So you cant turn the variation off per step? Only variation changes per step? Is that a bug? If i have a chord on step one and variations on other steps the vari wont stop. Really annoying

TH-cam just played this video and me: "WTF???" I am thinking of buying some drum synth ... for playing around and also maybe live fun with bass (me) and a drummer. And the T-8 really seems to nail it! Would love to have multi-outs for creating click. But anyhow - great video and presentation! Will dig deeper for these units. T-8 is cool. And then thought hmm ... J-6 also cool. But the Voice Tweaker?! And after your video ... it's addictive ... think Roland did great job here - lovely units for having fun. For my upcoming vacation but maybe also for live performances. Great Ideas! Will dig deeper. Thanks for sharing here!
I like the small size and great idea. BTW I wish Roland would do a remake of the MSQ 100 Digital recorder with all its old functions and Rolands new ideas. These machines are still selling on online auctions. People still use these it's an easy way to go Dawless.

Its from the new 2022 synthastrophe dystopian winter fashion line, he is ironically wearing spots and stripes to draw attention to the plight of the many different animal prints he is camouflaged by, only by making music can he been “seen” and save the aforementioned Animalia through digital minimalism by using small electronic gadgets which cut back on environmental impact. The true path to sustainability

I looked up but didn’t find any answer: Do those machines work through MX-1 USB connection?
Yes, they support AIRA Link and can be used with MX-1.
@@recloose2041 Thank you! That’s great news for my setup and bad news for my wallet hahah :)
TH-cam just played this video and me: "WTF???" I am thinking of buying some drum synth ... for playing around and also maybe live fun with bass (me) and a drummer. And the T-8 really seems to nail it! Would love to have multi-outs for creating click. But anyhow - great video and presentation! Will dig deeper for these units. T-8 is cool. And then thought hmm ... J-6 also cool. But the Voice Tweaker?! And after your video ... it's addictive ... think Roland did great job here - lovely units for having fun. For my upcoming vacation but maybe also for live performances. Great Ideas! Will dig deeper. Thanks for sharing here!
Outsch ... availabe (Thomann DE) in 15-19 weeks ... so not for my vaccation. But hurry up, these will be really cool products!
Loved the instruments and the demo!
I like the small size and great idea. BTW I wish Roland would do a remake of the MSQ 100 Digital recorder with all its old functions and Rolands new ideas. These machines are still selling on online auctions. People still use these it's an easy way to go Dawless.
I used to have the MSQ-700.
That shit was crazy!
Long ago Roland used to build instruments for musicians instead of gadgets for non-musicians.
That's why Roland keyboards are popular among the performers, right?
