Drum design on the Roland TR-6S | TR-6S Tutorial and Walkthrough

[@NeoLudditevisons]

Excellent!! This is superb exactly what is needed, interesting and informative. You deserve a medal sir!

[@afrohamurai]

Thank you so much! I’m thinking that I might do a series of videos where I show some cool ways I mess with it’s sounds in Ableton next

[@NeoLudditevisons]

@@afrohamurai yeah sounds great! You’ll be doing tr6s users a huge service!

i dont mean to be so off topic but does anyone know a tool to log back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can give me

LFO on the FM Morph, if that is possible, I'm gonna try it!

[@firstnamenonapplicable5138]

I'm still confused but less than I was before

[@chrisronan]

Nice work man! Very helpful. Just got my tr6s yesterday. Excited!

[@magicthrash]

How to make 3/4 pattern?

[@nobbystyles4807]

those faders are making me think this might be a good performance tool. looking for my first drum synth and im looking at the uno. conversely i might just dive in and get a digitakt rather than upgrade. but this seems to have a lot of depth for its price bracket. subbed the channel though, excellent in depth video.

[@afrohamurai]

I’ve been able to use it so much for stuff on its own, as well as with my other synth. It’s really fun to use 😀

[@minimal.camera]

Excellent! The most in-depth tutorial on sound design with the TR-6S I've found thus far. I'm really looking for a hard comparison between the TR-6S and the Model:Cycles/Samples, as that seems to be the only real contender. Of course the ACM synth engine is unique to Roland. My general impression is that the sound creation capabilities of the TR-6S is superior, but the workflow of the Elektron Model series is better. So a tough choice really...

[@afrohamurai]

Thank you! I think the decision comes down to if you want/use the Roland drum machines enough that having good emulations of them as opposed to samples is what you want. I don't have a use for a sampler just because I tend to use my DAW for most of it, so if I were to pick between the Cycles and Samples I'd go for the samples, but that's just my opinion.

[@sinewaymusic]

Nice tutorial! Can you set panning on a per step level within a track, or just on the track level? I like to place hats in different places in the stereo field and alternate the placement in variation patterns. Thanks!

[@afrohamurai]

You could probably use motion step by step? That would be the best way I would think to do it

[@ursatz]

Very helpful, thank you. I agree it's shocking Roland didn't provide a CR78 samples/kit with all it's other classics in the TR-6S/8S. Have you made your own CR78 kit? I'd love to see a video on that. I'm struggling to find a list of all the sounds on that unit, so not sure what I'll need to make one for my TR8S.

[@minorthreatrecordings1041]

Nice hand

[@minorthreatrecordings1041]

Helpful video 🙂

[@ALTARBEATZ]

Great video!

[@trendtrader4010]

Well done.

[@DrBenOne]

Loved that, Mr AF fellow. Learned a lot about my new purchase.

[@cassisbrook]

This video is very helpful! Thank you. 🙏🏽

[@afrohamurai]

I'm happy you found it useful!

[@giancarlobonati2344]

really interesting video , thanks for sharing, helped a lot navigating the menus.

[@giancarlobonati2344]

i'm still not clear on how to actually export my own samples to the SD card , the TR6S is not showing up as a destination on my Mac the same way the TR8 apparently does with a USB connection , waht am i doing wrong ? :) thx

[@afrohamurai]

The TR-6S doesn’t work as an SD card reader for the computer, if you use either the SD slot built in to your computer or a USB SD card reader it should be all good 👍🏾

[@tomasztrzcinski4358]

thanks, good tutorial!

[@daverynhoud1934]

keep up the reviews. Good job

[@afrohamurai]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it 😊

[@NatLifeSounds]

Hey man, great tutorial! Can you say to me please - is it possible to chain more than 6 sounds at one time? for example, two variations playing in one time?

[@afrohamurai]

Not that I can see - you could technically load two different kits in different patterns and chain those instead of variations, but within one pattern the variations use the same 6 sounds

[@NatLifeSounds]

@@afrohamurai that's bad( I thought it was realized here, so now I'm thinking how to be, or use it with VST/AU drum machines or add mc707 for example for getting maximum drums from hardware

[@vertigev]

Can the TR-6S do note probability/chance? Can't find anything about that but it's a pretty basic drum machine function so I'm sure it can. I've all over mine though and I can't it :/

[@afrohamurai]

I don’t think it has that from looking at it - that’s the one thing that the TR-06 has that I wish this had as well :(

[@vertigev]

@@afrohamurai Thanks for checking, I was afraid of that :( Oh well, I still love mine. Definitely a little beast

[@xaviermccloud4586]

Is there any way to put Reverb and Delay on a single sound???

[@afrohamurai]

Not that I saw, the only way to “maybe” do it is to turn off all of the delay and reverb sends on the other sounds so you’re only sending one sound to the Kit’s reverb
