Roland TR-6S - a very honest review | Best Shortcuts + Everything you need to know

[@CaptainPikant]

Good news for all TR-6S and TR-8S users: Roland surprisingly released a new firmware update for both machines in which they added 14 ACB instruments of the CR-78! We wonder if they saw this video... I always felt it was a big omission to not include the CR-78. And yes, the "metal beat" component of the Hats and Cymbals is adjustable :) The second addition - an 808 chromatic bass - is a bit of a mixed bag. It has an "ACB Coarse" parameter, which means you can automate its tuning in semitones and play 808 basslines with it if you sacrifice the assignable automation lane. But in my opinion it doesn't sound as good as the regular 808 Kicks, which still pack more punch.

[@eightcoins4401]

Bought it after watching this. Am now referring back frequently, as a tutorial. The quality on this channel is absolutely astounding.

[@pooshNchums]

Same! Back for review! Captain Pikant’s channel is a lecture series on music production.

[@CaptainPikant]

Thanks to everyone who recommended the ASIO4ALL driver!! Using that you can use both your audio interface and the USB audio of the TR-6S at the same time under Windows. Just activate all inputs and outputs you want to use and ASIO4ALL will make them available to your DAW. Do note that the latency and sample rate is determined by the "worst" device of the aggregation.

[@NatLifeSounds]

I use ASIO all from maybe 2002 lol and it was a magic in those times for VST plugins, but it's cool that this old technology same can do a magic for newest hardware things)

[@Arperture]

Mac aggregate device works well also. On Macs of course.

[@5lip5pace]

ASIO4ALL = fun for all

[@Ulukitkan]

@@mirojaroszak6239 lol, buy one more mac, noob)

[@seanhenriques808]

I came here to comment that on Mac being limited to one audio interface is a non-issue as they support creating an aggregate interface device so you can combine multiple audio interfaces into one mega audio interface. You may want to add that as an update because it’s kind of important that there is a solution to the outdated information in the video for both windows and Mac.

[@oddcircuit]

Do you know why I love the videos on this channel, besides the content? The fact that I don't have to constantly adjust the volume between the talking and the sound from the instrument, unlike other channels… Little attention to detail like that, lets me know you're not just throwing videos together and you actually care about sound

[@CaptainPikant]

Thank you so much for noticing! :)

[@oddcircuit]

@@CaptainPikant I know someone already told you this, but creating an aggregate device will solve your interface issues, but I have no idea how to do it on Windows, I do think it is dependent on your DAW though

[@GuidoGautsch]

@@oddcircuit I was under the impression that aggregate devices are a MacOS only thing. If you know if another solution (apart from the pinned ASIO4ALL), would love to know!

[@oddcircuit]

​@@GuidoGautsch sorry I have no idea about anything windows, but PT has limited functionality with aggregate stuff, I think it depends on what DAW you use... I am sure someone has figured out some way to make it work with windows, but sorry, I do not know if so

[@christopherkiyui8071]

I agree. I expect presenters to at least know basic do's and dont's of presenting. A few thing that turn me of are 1. Distracting background music. 2. Speaking too fast or shouting. 3. Overuse of "f" words 4. Not taking care of plosives. 5. Putting captions that overlap with the titles or are too wordy, which is very distracting because you can't read them anyway.

[@CaptainPikant]

While listening to the example patterns on our smartphones we noticed that the stereo spreader effect of the TR-6S is NOT mono compatible. When the left and right channels are summed to mono this almost kills the snare (really noticeable on "When the Levee Breaks").

[@Decoy303]

Seems to be Roland issue because the new Aira Compact T8 has an issue with the snare when adding snap. Sucks because snares are super important.

[@CaptainPikant]

@@danteben most stereo enhancers or wideners we use are mono compatible and don't collapse when summed to mono, that's why I was surprised :)

[@LB-pp7pu]

Using Voodoo child and When the levee breaks as examples for a drum machine is genius!

[@raysubject]

2:17 - on MAC you can create so called "aggregated sound device" - you easily connect multiple physical soundcards which they behave like one big soundcard with all inputs and outputs together .. so on MAC this is much more useable in daw enviroment ..

[@greyaria]

This works great. It does mean that you’ll have had to install the Roland drivers however, which are far from great.

[@MoldManMotionGrafix]

I came to see if anyone mentioned this. I’m an avid (pun intended) mac user and this changes the game.

[@Nsr3lias]

[@MoldManMotionGrafix]

@@Nsr3liasthere’s a stock application on macOS called audio midi settings. Go to the audio section. Click create aggregate device. Add the two or more interfaces you want. Name that “device” whatever you want. It will now be in your DAWs dropdown for interface selection.

[@Nsr3lias]

@ thank you!

[@gibusgamer93]

This is easily one of the best TR6S videos on youtube! Most videos on it are great sound demos or chances to show off the fun, positive parts of its workflow, but so few really go in-depth on its pros and cons like this. Bravo! I bought one back when they first came out as my first hardware drum machine. I've learned a lot since then and started hitting against its limitations, but it's a fun little box that I still keep around and mess with for fun, and if you can tolerate the stereo mixdown instead of individual outs it does a great job recreating those old-school Roland sounds.

[@legitt6093]

This sure is by far the most comprehensive and masterfully directed walkthrough/review for the TR-6S on KZbin yet! Thank you!! I have only one wish for this machine though, to add the ability to trigger (2 or more) "alternate" samples (like on the 707 and 727 instruments) in a pattern/variation per channel/track. I think such an ability can bring a lot of creative possibilities to the device.

[@BenGeorge77]

I love this channel. I love the focus on drum machines.

[@defjeff2907]

Great review Captain! I love your ACB acronym. It's a mystery why Roland took what were once sample drum sounds and made them ACB, but I like it, A LOT! I got the TR-8S a year ago and the 707 and 727 sounds are my favorite. Please ACB the CR-78 with a future update.

[@CaptainPikant]

Hey jeff, thank you so much :) I can only speculate that with the samples of the 909, 707 and 727, the ACB performs some mojo like a simulation of the specific D/A-converters.

[@sub-jec-tiv]

Bizarre Roland has never done ACB on the 78. But that’s why i bought the TT-78, which is analog and just sounds wonderful. (In fact the earlier video on the TT-78 is what convinced me to get one.)

[@GhostOfLorelei]

Auuugh….my mental debate about TR-6S v. TR-8S resumes!!! (love the vides ;)

[@MasterIvo]

made a deal for 225 euro second hand. very happy!

[@treschlet]

25:50 you can get this effect by actually holding the TR-REC button, instead of the variation button, to change which variation you're editing, even during playback. Little odd that it's there instead of the variation button, but cool that the feature is there. It's cool that you can edit a variation while a different one is playing. Handy for live jamming

[@noisetheorem]

the TR6s (and TR8s for that matter) are excellent inspiration machines. They are great for when I don't want to get too far up my own ass doing sound design and I just need one of those simple, classic Roland drum machine sounds. I've got the Elektron boxes for I want to get in and craft my own, but I find they take more up front investement to get to a result. I keep the TR8s in the jam rig.

[@saardean4481]

@@CaptainPikant of course! Also you give me ideas. Like , I tried the probability feature. I would like it even more if I could choose a predetermined probability. Like adding an extra step that will be triggered "every 2" or "every 4" beats etc. The way it is now if I don't get it wrong, the probability is a bit random. The option I wish for would let you have a "fixed" variation every 4 bars always in the same order, which would be equal to using 4 Variation steps as it is now. Unless I have a "thinking error " like they say in German

[@CaptainPikant]

@@saardean4481Yes iteration dependence would be really great. The Elektron devices have it and many of the pad matrix sequencers.

[@liefsJessie]

I love your jokes combined with a very good knowledge about the product!

[@davidallred991]

Wow, what a quality video, not just content-wise, but the color grading and editing are spot on, congrats. Also, you can use the audio interface in conjunction with other interfaces by creating an aggregated interface in your computer which basically creates a virtual interface combining all the interfaces you want. I have the TR8s, but the TR6s is pretty impressive. Even with the TR8s I have all the same gripes you have. While the new firmware upgrade is cool and probability is a huge add (although it should have been there already) For me the things that still really need to be addressed are 1. Sample management, disk streaming would be best, but if that isn't possible, then kits with loaded samples should be able to be created in the companion app and transferred easily. Can't believe they didn't do this with the new version of the companion app. 2. Swing should be on a per instrument basis and not global. 3. Microtiming would be a nice addition. 4. A "follow" mode while playing through the variations instead of always only showing one selected variation even while it plays through the others. At least on the TR6s you get to use that nice knob as the value knob, you have to use the value knob a lot on these machines and on the T8Rs you only have a small value knob which needs to be turned a lot, and yet they have this big nice knob which for some reason is only dedicated to tempo, and if the TR8s is in receive midi clock than the knob serves no function at all. They need to allow a setting to use the tempo knob as the value knob, Overall, the Tr8s and TR6s are really high quality drum machines.

[@CaptainPikant]

Thank you so much! Do you have any tips on how to create an aggregate device under Windows? I absolutely agree on your points, the follow mode would be especially helpful!

[@davidallred991]

@@CaptainPikant I have not used Windows for so long I can't speak much on it, I know it isn't as seamless as it is on a Mac since it is native in a Mac, but I think you can do it through 3rd party apps. It is super helpful in the studio. I actually run my Focusrite 18i8, Octopre, TR8s, MODx, SE-02, and iPad all at the same time as interfaces over USB. I just have different types of templates setup for what I want to do and can switch with a single click. I don't mind if something is difficult to setup once, but if it is difficult to use I just won't ever use it, so if I couldn't use the TR8s with my audio interface I just never would, but since it is easy now it is basically just always ready to go and makes processing the drums so much easier. With regards to the follow mode, the reason I know it would be helpful is because I also use a KeyStep Pro which has it and I use it all the time. Not sure why the TR8s doesn't have it.

I know that the Digitakt is an alrady well reveiwed instrument, but I would love to see how you approach that instrument. Your perspective and performance over the instruments really helps me to feel familiar with the drums production. Now I own a Digitakt and I feel like your approach on how to work with the different sound design options and tools the Difgitakt has (and also how you recognize the equipment's limitations) could elevate my performance. To sum it up I would love to see you working with the Digitakt as I saw you working with the Syntakt.

[@CaptainPikant]

Thank you so much! We'll probably not do a whole review so soon after the Syntakt review since they're very similar, but the Digitakt is one of my favourite machines so it will certainly make more appearances on the channel. It already served us well in the "Drum Patterns Explained" episode on "Axel F" for example :)

Hi Joey! I'm not really familiar with DJ systems like these but I can imagine that without a way to sync it with the drum machine you're going to be very busy adjusting the tempo by hand.

You can actually momentary switch to another variation: If you press and hold tr-rec you can switch to another variation.

That's true, we also show that feature in the performance segment when selecting the fill patterns. But I think it would be great if you could also use the variation button as a momentary switch (like the "sub" button).

[@jonalexanderfilms]

Which drum machine is the easiest to program without menu diving?

[@CaptainPikant]

That's a tough question :) You have to take into account the feature set of the drum machine as well. A 606/RD-6 for example is easy to operate, but has no sound controls, no effects and no way to name patterns. You can use a TR-6S exactly like that and never use the menus, so in that regard they would be equally easy to use if you abstain from these features. That being said I think the Arturia DrumBrute Impact is a drum machine where most things are accesible without ever entering a menu.
