Roland AIRA TR-8 Rhythm Performer

[@tsunimokitr]

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.

[@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.. ;)

[@CPeshMusic]

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

[@siriusfun]

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

[@peri252]

Really good tutorial. This guy explains things exceptionally well.

[@michaeltyborski4802]

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

[@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).

[@tristanstarling2219]

Fantastic unit. So much fun!

[@wbgoaf]

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

[@thelifeproductions1]

Great Video! Thanks for posting

[@MARBenard]

Great video thank you

[@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.

[@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 😊

[@TaiDavis]

Great presentation. I'm buying one tomorrow, just wanted a better insight on what it could do. I'm sold!!

[@TaiDavis]

Great!! Posted a track I did using it on KZbin. Downloaded the update patch too. It really is a beast, I love the way the claps sound when they roll!!

[@jonison6847]

Thanks - very clear information.

[@zufbarthesilent]

Great demo!!! Thank you

[@RheyneMusic]

Excellent review, thank you.

[@dannymack9636]

Buying one next Tuesday.

[@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

[@satyanpatel6403]

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

[@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.

[@camofilms]

Brilliant review, bang to the point, subbed

[@freejazzbone]

nice workshop, thanks

[@reazallykhan]

Does it do automation or motion record in 2024?✌️❤️

[@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

[@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

[@not_a_windup_toy]

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

[@3ertin]

Does it send midi data from the knobs and sliders?

[@kingofallwhites]

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

[@darwinsaye]

That's my dream too...

[@reazallykhan]

very informative... thanks

[@thewounds63]

Thank you! This was a very helpful tutorial.

[@kbruff2010]

Thank you, good job.

[@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

[@Myhomeishere]

excellent review !

[@robertwilsdon]

Great review, thanks

[@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!

[@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.?

[@DannyBFunman]

Thank you very much very helpfull. Well done

[@Jacob-ir6zi]

What cables? balanced or unbalanced?

[@gan9e]

They are good... trust me.

[@crescendolls5555]

Good video. Thank you

[@Deathgazeroo]

I need this machine in my life

[@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!

[@AuroraXDJ]

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

[@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.

[@peterlind8432]

Mine arrives tomorrow 😎

[@uniquebeatsboutique]

how is it?

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

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

[@fabiompbraga]

how does it works with logic x ? cheers

[@DenisG7]

Thanks a lot for such vid!

[@darkvaper2010]

[@user-gi6ee8vj1y]

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

[@sergiodellago]

Hello. how did you record all the tracks together?

[@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.

[@upperratio9087]

Great Job my friend

[@12copablo]

Is it possible to use another audio sound card and at the same time have all the inputs from the tr8?

[@AngryOscillator]

Don't know if you've found this answer yet, but no. If you want individual outs you'll have to use the tr-8 as the soundcard. So use its main outs while tracking/composing then when you want to get the individual outs switch the audio device. Unless you're on a mac in which case there is a way of aggregating devices, but I'm PC so you're on your own with that bit :)

[@DominicJacksonFilm]

Thanks bro

[@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!

[@trump-1-win]

Hi ,does this machine has conga sound ?

[@liljons6753]

Cool hair💂

[@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?:)

[@ToeJamAndEarl1977]

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

[@dccasey1]

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

[@BeatGrooveRhythm]

Is that you being excited at the end , wow !

[@mariopizzaro]

Great review man !!!

[@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.

[@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.

[@JaiKumar-xt4qr]

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

[@astridweatherfield4840]

Jai Kumar no there isn't

[@tyleragnew]

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

[@tyleragnew]

Jan Modaal why?

[@handsfree1000]

Good review

[@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

[@commitdubs]

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

[@Claidheambmor]

Do you think about mens' throats often?

[@marceloribeirosimoes8959]

MaaaaaaaaAAAAANNNTRONIX This machine have individual outputs?

[@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%

[@marctronixx]

well done mate!

[@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.

This is cool man

[@tylergates4075]

Can you choon the 808 cowbell?

[@Claidheambmor]

Yes.

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