Roland TB-03 and TR-09 Sound Demo

[@VTOLKits]

Why he must touch and release knobs 20 times to move the knob 1mm ? Are they hot...? I see this many times on youtube. But good machines !

[@corncobjohnsonreal]

he wants to move them a little bit at a time because he doesn't want to slowly turn them why do you have a problem with it?

[@OrionB1498]

'are they hot' lmao

[@alunmauve]

People get mocked for this "Hot Knobbing" as it has become known. A different approach is to rotate the knob by locking the fingers, and wrist in place providing a single long lever to the elbow. This allows for a large slow movement at the elbow joint to be translated into a tiny angular rotation of the knob... People then get mocked for that. You just can't win! :)

[@BillyBatsonMarvel]

It's an illusion to show that he's doing a lot of something when he's actually doing nothing. Actually, "Hot knobbing" helps to keep up with the beat.

[@djRoyalTee]

It is known...

[@ej1mshan]

I'm glad Roland came out with these little boutiques. Now I don't have to spend $4k on a used 909 that has somebody's hands all over it. This is a decent offering for those that missed the original 909 from the 80's. Thanks Roland, I'll get a copy before the year is out.

[@ej1mshan]

Its still about $800 CND

[@ej1mshan]

~ £350 is still about $500 CND and that's affordable even for me. It takes awhile for us to get gear at the retail level here. My music shop still hasn't got the Volca FM in yet LOL.

[@thomaskolb8785]

I was on the verge of placing a pre-order too, until I found out that here in Sweden it costs nearly the same as the TR-8, which is a much more competent drum machine in every aspect. I really like the look of the Boutiques, but I suppose it is mainly for the people who don't like the look of the AIRA units.

[@robosardine303]

Man, you can make that thing sing 👍

[@Android-Zen]

the overdrive sucks but the added delay and reverb is cool. this is way better than the tb-3. I'll take it!

[@kvfive]

Are those TB03 knobs hot to touch ? Reviewer looked like he was apprehensive about getting burnt ;/)

[@mickylecoghiel6780]

What is the smaller black machine? And what program are you using to record?

[@co.agmusic]

Incredible sound

[@ramoniak6]

My question, should I buy a tr-09 or tr-08? It's only 50€ difference. The tr-09 has more sentimental value to me since I love the Dutch 'gabber' sound, but the tr-08 has more options for the same price?

[@wariusgaius]

What is the use of these new digital emulations when you got the tb-3 and tr-8 digital emulations allready? Does not make sense.

[@robertsyrett1992]

I think there is greater fidelity to the original interfaces that the boutique series is aiming for. I think in terms of sound you are quite right.

[@SjN7HETIK]

i totally agree, this time i was waitin for a real reissue, full analog, not a tb3 or a tr8 in another case. So sad.

[@alunmauve]

The point is not just the sounds (which are apparently closer than the TB3 and TB8), it is the exact same programming interface as the originals. I agree, it would have been much better to have analog recreations rather than emulations but the originals contained many hundreds of discrete components which are no longer available. How expensive would they have been to recreate in their analog form and how much further form the originals would they sound due to the different components and board layouts.? I feel the disappointment too.

[@tiborsaas]

You are not staring at a monitor and the limitations it introduces actually increases your creativity.

[@wariusgaius]

"You are not staring at a monitor and the limitations it introduces actually increases your creativity." 100% true. Thats why a lot of people have the TR-8 and TB-3. But these don't add anything to what those machines/controllers deliver. In other words, the TR-8 and TB-3 make more sense then these.

[@VinceVega303]

Cool demo!

[@Yobott]

1:15 wtf, the bottom and most of the mid just get cut out

[@EliahHoliday]

I found the overdrive has to be used sparingly. I didn't like the sound much when I turned it anything past 11:00 o'clock.

[@benjarrell1122]

Of all the changes they actually made, it seems like they should have made the cutoff and resonance knobs bigger and sturdier.

[@machiwoomiapoo]

Nice. Thanks for the upload! :)

[@BillyBatsonMarvel]

Wow! REBIRTH gone hybrid Analog. Wait... Where's the TR-08? ;-)

[@ParalysedGekko]

It's called ReBirth TOUCH. It just comes about 20 years too late.

[@BillyBatsonMarvel]

lol

[@inevitablecraftslab]

ParalysedGekko actually i installed rebirth touch on my ipad after watching the video hehe

[@peter6602]

why is he like touch it, touch it, toucht it, instead of just touch and tweak it?

[@robertsyrett1992]

I'm guessing tiny fragile knobs.

[@MysticDonBlair]

I noticed that way of playing is very common for a lot of people. But I don't do it either.

[@marike1100]

He's tic, tic, tic tweaking it in tiny increments. That's how the cool kids are doing it. ;-)

[@1VperOctave]

No offence to Leonard, he does great demos, but I can't watch it, it drives me crazy. Kink does it too - he makes great sounds, but I have to just listen to the audio. Maybe it stems from the complaints that a lot of electronic 'live' performance is just someone staring at a laptop screen. To me it just looks like they are way too hyped on Redbull or espresso!

[@marike1100]

"DJ fingers", some say, is done to give the move a sense of importance, when really it's just turning the knob. Kink and any one else who has major talent, it's no problem. When the tunes are basic, the preformer should probably just turn the knob.

[@umanoid1523]

Sweet

[@Mdsonic77]

For Christ sake grab a knob and tweak it, you act like your afraid of breaking that toy....haha

[@jamesmorganroberts]

Roland's new Vst in a box series

[@Decode303]

Sounds a bit flat and very low end on the bass,I own a real three-0h-3 but despite I like it thou! I am getting one next to my bassbot 303 as well... 909 wish it had separate outputs!

[@naughtystudios]

I've got a TT-303 too, I was hoping to get one of these new TB-03's but I watched a video this morning of this guy programming it and the TT is much simpler.

[@naughtystudios]

It automatically went to the next note before you could put Accent or slide on the step. Then you have to go back into it when you've programmed your pattern and add them afterwards.

[@alunmauve]

More outputs are available on the TR-09 if you use the USB audio (4) plus the main stereo outs. Voices can be panned. Not great for live but it also has a built in compressor to help out in those situations.

[@Decode303]

So the USB will send audio 4 channels plus 2 audio outs! great

[@alunmauve]

+Decode303 details are sketchy at the moment but that is what I am lead to believe via info from a Roland employee. I would contact your local supplier and have them hassle their Roland rep for more details.

[@seanloke3209]

For the same price, get a Cyclone Analogic TT303 real analogue

[@kevinstargazer2790]

So go get it and fuck off.

[@abstral66]

will loved to listing to that live impro with,,, nO OVerdrive roland effect!!!peace!

[@sonofjak1971]

Ferkin luuursh!!!

[@imakemusic623]

sounds a bit like higher state of conciousness lol

[@AngelArtists]

I love it when they gently touch the knobs & then flick their hands away like they're throwing away an empty crisp packet over their shoulders hahahahaha The acid line sounds a complete mess LoL. Man in store: "Oi mate, are you going to buy one of those bloody Roland Boutiques, or are you just going to fuck about with it all day? Other people wanna buy it y'know" Hahahaha

[@ΑξίαςΑθηναίος]

02:15 fuck meeeeeeeeeeee

[@slihrih1340]

Whoa...acieed

[@AlteSchule74]

Vtol ! Hardflr nicks with their Heads 20 times a second...... :-)

[@jollojakar8995]

The fart noises would piss off my neighbors.

[@googleplusisvetkutgast]

jesus, that overdrive sounds like shit

[@krishna34674]

sounds like it was modelled on a guitar effect the boss od 3 ? a lot of guitar effects cut out the low end.

[@Black_Agent_Seattle]

It was actually modeled off of the Devilfish OD. But they didn't do a very good job at all. It sounds terrible. All three OD models do.

[@Shieox]

FL Transistor bass sounds better!

[@spektrum8740]

@@Shieox lol

[@SPAZZOID100]

Boring and repetitive. 1/2 bars??

[@ΑξίαςΑθηναίος]

Are you insane? Repetitive? Yes, it is meant to be. Boring? Have you listened to acid house?

[@HazeAnderson]

Wait ... you can do 1 whole bar!!! Next you're gonna tell us you can do 2 whole bars I bet ...

[@adclevel2415]

stop With your fingers around knobs !!!!!

[@jamesmorganroberts]

Only Roland would be stupid enough to make digital versions of there anolog gear. Such a rubbish company.

[@YoMyNamesJakeG]

run into your DAW, slap true iron on it and either decapitator or SDRR and save yourself 8 grand on buying the analog counterparts with pretty good outcomes.

[@KILLAGORILLA7000]

TB03 sounds very weak.

[@andrewramsey6730]

new roland stuff = fail IMHO

[@Shieox]

Volca bass sounds better LOL
