This is by far, the best tutorial I've seen regarding this machine.

[@Wouterferdinand]

Definitely is indeed!

[@GeneInCorona]

I agree! 👍👍👍👏👏👏

[@mattryan2489]

No wasted time with this review. Great balance of verbal and visual explanations.

[@michaeltyborski4802]

Thank you for providing an excellent introduction to drum machines and this product.

[@siriusfun]

Jesus those lights are manic. Reminds me of an 80s pinball machine.

[@pinup23]

This is the best tutorial vid I have seen. Its nice to find a vid that explains how to get in to the features. Thanks Guys

[@brothacaim]

yeah…its good

[@marctronixx]

I agree. this was a cleverly done tutorial. slow for my old self to comprehend.. ;)

[@wbgoaf]

Thank you very much for this video. You explained the TR-8 very well.

[@CPeshMusic]

Great review, Leonard. Finally someone that knows what he is talking about, and is showing the machine as it should be shown.

[@peri252]

Really good tutorial. This guy explains things exceptionally well.

[@RheyneMusic]

Great presentation on the features. I will be ordering one soon and wanted to know every little button and its reasoning.

[@ROCKKIZZ]

First of all! THANK YOU FOR THIS NICE TOTURIAL FOR TR8! Even 06.2019 still useful and helpful! .. i was stucked for the simple stupid pattern/program saving issue! not one of the 50 clips wat i saw in da past really where helping... So Thank you! 4 this awesome Toturial... CHEERS 😊

[@jonison6847]

Thanks - very clear information.

[@camofilms]

Brilliant review, bang to the point, subbed

[@robertwilsdon]

Great review, thanks

[@DenisG7]

Thanks a lot for such vid!

[@mariopizzaro]

Great review man !!!

[@AuroraXDJ]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial. But you never mentioned the Analog against Virtual Analog here, am I right ?

[@kbruff2010]

Thank you, good job.

[@wackerburg]

I am about to receive my TR-8. That's going to be a nice addition to my original TR-machines (909, 808, 727 and 707).

[@upperratio9087]

Great Job my friend

[@Deathgazeroo]

I need this machine in my life

[@Myhomeishere]

excellent review !

[@reazallykhan8614]

very informative... thanks

[@marctronixx]

well done mate!

[@freejazzbone]

nice workshop, thanks

[@BeatGrooveRhythm]

Is that you being excited at the end , wow !

[@Fthosssain]

why do all the reviewers touch the small knobs like they are really hot to the touch?

[@jacobshafer2036]

I don't know. Everyone seems to do it. Its really annoying.

[@garystackhouse5787]

I think it's an affectation they all copy which helps them to believe they're musicians creating art, regardless of whether that's the case. It's much like the "guitar solo" face you see guitarists and wannabe guitarists use, regardless of whether they're any good.

[@Mr11Worcester]

Fuad Hossain Yep agree with you, so annoying!

[@Jchot]

it's really easy to bump other knobs...this helps not do that for some reason

[@EmilShayeb]

now i cant watch this anymore

[@crescendolls5555]

Good video. Thank you

[@kingofallwhites]

I desire... a new Roland CR-78!

[@darwinsaye]

That's my dream too...

[@MARBenard]

Great video thank you

[@johnalexander4221]

Can you use this with a digitech looper pedal, so you could use this drum machine as your metronome to record your loop, then play back the loop and use the tr live with the loop in time together.?

[@dannymack9636]

Buying one next Tuesday.

[@BigBadWolf..............]

With external gear such as a padkontrol or beatstep can I record individual sounds while a sequence is playing?

[@DJDynablend]

This is cool man

[@dccasey1]

I thought the scatter feature was limited, but then depth mode slapped me in the face!

[@CMedia87]

its sort of like you need to guess or remember what sound is on what pad when selecting

[@fabiompbraga]

how does it works with logic x ? cheers

[@ToeJamAndEarl1977]

just learned about upgrades. nice one roland. cheap shot lets hope they are good :)

[@deanod9]

Kosmic Would I be able to feed another synth through the Aira? Something like A Novation Bass Station, and would I need a dedicated Audio Interface for this? Thanks! And great video by the way

[@stephencastledine6800]

nice vid mate help me so much thank you :)

[@sidsakid77]

Hey Leonard, this tutorial/demo was honesty even better than the ones Roland did themselves. So thanks for that :) Was wondering though, if you'd had a chance to use the MFB Tanzbar yet? Can't seem to find any in depth review for it. .. Thanks again!

[@mattydafatty3008]

Hey mate! I've got both the Tanzbar and a tr8... The tanzbar in a nutshell has its own sound which I think makes it worth owning. It's cymbal and hihat are very 606/808ish. One kick can get 909 or 808, and a lot more! The other kick is great for 808 and as a pitch bend bassline. The clap is unique sounds very nice. If you want I can go on?:)

[@sergiodellago]

Hello. how did you record all the tracks together?

[@truman90]

Hi ,does this machine has conga sound ?

[@baronvanhumbeeck7539]

Can you use the Tr8 without the sequencer thing running, so like tapping the buttons for the drum sounds? In conjunction with a looping machine.

[@baronvanhumbeeck7539]

oh yeah question answered, cheers

[@burrencrawler]

good video thanks, helped me out as I cant find the manual anywhere in the Roland website, anyone know how to get ones mits on it?

[@fantasyproduct1042]

They don't do a comprehensive one but Roland Australia have some good tips if you Google you'll find it.

[@lucaslaboudes2919]

Hi! When i m connecting midi out to my juno 106, Tr8 sends midi notes as it plays, is there a way to deactivate this? thanks

[@handsfree1000]

Good review

[@3ertin]

Does it send midi data from the knobs and sliders?

[@peterlind8432]

Mine arrives tomorrow 😎

[@uniquebeatsboutique]

how is it?

[@gan9e]

They are good... trust me.

[@BlatendCrude]

I've actually managed to invert the timbrality on this thing by hooking it up to par.

[@emerjay348]

+Kosmic IMO you have made your voice through audiotune, am I right? When voice constatly goes ups and downs it is through audiotune 100%

[@mateusferronatto1492]

Hello, I recently bought this product and in the ad description, it said that it was possible to import samples to the Tr8, I would like to know how this can be done because I have not found any way.

[@bdw9832]

I just bought a tr-8 (My first drum computer). Whenever i try to make a patern i cant use the ride-symbal at The same time with a openhat. Is It possible to play those at The same time when i change something in My setting or isn’t this possible at all? I have My tr -8 connected through stereo output to My mbox pro (interface)… (i dont know If that has something to do with it). Help would be very appreciated!

[@DominicJacksonFilm]

Thanks bro

[@solomonjenkins9505]

Can I run extra shit through the tr8 and use it as an interface of sorts? I have a midi controller and a synth module i wanna use with this and my daw

[@darkvaper2010]

im buying this!!!!!!!.im going to make music history..lol😂😂👍👍😎😎🎧🎧🎧🎧🎸

[@ChesttRockkwell]

Michael Parker how did that go for you?

[@johnhinnighan6462]

@@ChesttRockkwell he sold it for heroin and he is now dead

John Hinnighan What a life to live...

[@user-gi6ee8vj1y]

Did you get the machine? If so, what do you think of it?

[@ej1mshan]

He doesn't show us the back connections.

[@GabryGTV]

I have a question, that t might sound obvious, can you import your own samples into the machine? Can it work as a midi controller?

[@Claidheambmor]

No and yes.

[@bekawu2060]

Easiest way to learn how to use Tr-8 Thank you

[@branchunter_]

Is there a way to save the patterns you create??

[@xavke91]

Can anyone explain to me how come on 13.57, when the decay of the OH is all the way open, some lit up knobs on the sequencer still produce a one with a short decay? Been trying to fix this but I see it's exactly the same in this tutorial for some reason... Not all buttons play that sample and play it at the same decay the INST knob is indicating, really annoying please help!

[@4FrameMusic]

+xavke91 i don't own one, but i'm guessing it may have something to do with either the "Accent" parameter triggering on that sequence, or, like the original 909 where you had the ability to tap 3 times on an instrument button to toggle velocity (or loudness) of that instrument when the sequencer triggers it!

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

Any idea how to get the tr8 to sound MORE ass-kicking and less clean? I got a set up recently (mx1, tb3, tr8, m1, and some of the efx modules) and need a really hard rustic gritty punky sound to be appropriate for the hard punky acid-techno I enjoy making, but for me so far, I'm finding the tr8 a bit flat, weak, with little genuine dynamics. Any hints or tips anyone?

[@chinmeysway]

Pan Croque sample based drums ?

[@Claidheambmor]

The machine has quite a dry sound. This is preferable for a producer as dirt can be added but can never be removed once recorded. Run it through some drive or distortion for some grit.

[@solaryzer]

Good tutorial

[@tyleragnew]

Are you outputting each sound to a different track in Ableton there?

[@tyleragnew]

Jan Modaal why?

[@filipZieciak]

Hi, I almost got everything to work except from...I don't know way but I'm not able to record the any effects like the delay or reverb. I'm using the Logic Pro x 10.5 and recording the audio. DO u know what is the reason?

[@barrykingston523]

The audio signal path bypasses the Efx if you're channeling audio through usb or individual outs!

[@KUPHSER]

Is there any latency when working with software? I want to get one but mainly as a tool for the studio so ideally I would want it to work swift with cubase. Does it sync up with your software when recording/playing back? If you could do a more in depth video on the tr8 with software ware that would be epic. Cheers

[@KUPHSER]

Otherwise would I be better off running the tr8 through a channel on a external mixer, and then recorded from the mixer to audio tracks on cubase? Which would also mean I would be having to chop and shift audio edits to keep beats in sync

[@KidBlastNYC]

+KUPHSER I know this is a few months old, but yes there is latency.

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

MaaaaaaaaAAAAANNNTRONIX This machine have individual outputs?

[@clown134]

so epic

[@txfaulk795]

for sure

[@JaiKumar-xt4qr]

is there a way to save and recall your work on the machine itself?

[@astridweatherfield4840]

Jai Kumar no there isn't

[@minimal-j6011]

I got the 09. I wanted to use it on the subway!

[@Jacob-ir6zi]

What cables? balanced or unbalanced?

[@liljons6753]

Cool hair💂

[@tylergates4075]

Can you choon the 808 cowbell?

[@Claidheambmor]

Yes.

[@SuperWorshipguy]

Ok now Im getting frustrated why am i only getting bass drum, no snares or any other instrument, please help

[@Claidheambmor]

You've probably muted the other instruments.

[@symmetry11]

Is one able to use the Tr-8 as a controller for ableton? or only to send and receive midi and audio. Specifically could I control ableton instruments and tracks with the Tr-8? It doesn't look like it, but i just wanted to check.

[@marctronixx]

***** the MX-1 will. soon to be released in march-ish...

[@Claidheambmor]

Yes.

[@slimaholic]

So I guess Propellerhead modeled redrum after the original

[@jean-baptiste9230]

don t get why they haven t made a plugin with it...for automation...

[@stealthleft4297]

BTW. YESSS. ITS VERRRRY INTERESTING ALL THE ,, TRIIIIIII ,SOUNDS. EXCITING!!!!!

[@commitdubs]

Is your throat dirty or is the microphone distorting???

[@Claidheambmor]

Do you think about mens' throats often?

[@batterycock]

you know why the 808 and 909 are "legendary"? Because, as the man stated, at the time they didn't have a lot of value and people were giving or throwing them away. Thus creating a chance for the typical poor man (with a lot of talent) to get his hands on one. You think a young man from the ghetto had over a $1000 to by a drum machine when it came out in 1980?

[@johnnybagwash2456]

ive just bought a tr8 but own 2 909s and a 808 that I haven't finished repairing yet but it works (just)

[@reneotten2288]

batterycock Yes of course because all people who live in ghettos are drug dealers so theyre all rich.

[@mackinshizzaveli4202]

Ineir Netto funny but it's 2017 there's like four crackheads in every hood now nobody sells drugs anymore

The ride is not an original 808 sound. Its more likely taken from a 909.
