Roland TR-6S Rhythm Performer Overview

The Roland TR-6S Rhythm Performer is six tracks of advanced drum sequencing that features the most iconic rhythm sounds in music history-all in a battery-powered box that fits just about anywhere. With the familiar step sequencer, plus dedicated faders and knobs, it's easy to craft custom beats with visceral, hands-on control.
In this video, David Åhlund demonstrates the TR-6S’s deep sound library and its powerful sequencing capabilities, covering the basics to get you started as well as a glimpse into advanced tips and tricks.

About the Roland TR-6S…
The TR-6S is filled with authentic Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) recreations of legendary Roland drum machines-the 808, 909, 707 and 606-for when you need that classic genre-defining sound. Mix-and-match these sounds with preset or custom samples and futuristic FM tones, creating exotic hybrid kits that reflect your unique taste and style.
Advanced sequencing features let you program your drum sounds on the fly with the classic TR-REC step sequencer mode, or tap out beats in real time with INST-REC mode. Then ratchet up the rhythm with sub step, slice the pattern with step loop, or create shifting parameter changes with motion recording.
Get all of this and more in a compact, portable, battery-powered drum machine. Make beats on the go-whenever inspiration strikes!

I see allot of producers clowning this device. "I mean why can 't we all make music exactly the same way??!! Right?! " That doesn't really make sense to me in the least. 6 years ago I Put away my DAW and started playing all my notes. All my beats, performing and creating every note live. I can tell that this is an instrument with live performer in mind. A process of not just playing your music but performing it. Hey maybe you can do that with your DAW I don't know. But Your instrument gives back what you put into it and I believe that is the case here. I Can't wait to get mine.

No I dont think you can, Ive asked the same question, gone thru about an hour or so in other videos and read the PDF manual. Eg if you have BD, SD, LT, HC, CH, OH, then you cant have a RS playing also. The max number of tracks you can play at once is 6 because how can you control a channel slider with more than one instrument. Makes it look like a toy in comparison to the TR-8S.

[@garyusinger]

Maybe step loop for that roll? can you speed up the tempo on the roll? I will be using mine along with my Roland DJ 707M which will be sending tempo info via MIDI to the TR-6S. If I turn up the tempo on the TR-6S to achieve that roll increasing in speed, how will the tempo that Serato is sending out through the 707M react? Will the tempo adjustment on the TR-6S work when it is MIDI connected? I guess I could increase the tempo on the 707M and get the same effect but it would also increase whatever is playing at the time. Always fun and a bit challenging to mix up several different instruments. To really complicate everything, I am planning on bringing my Fantom and my MPC Live into the mix along with Ableton Live!

Just like a Volca Drum/Sample Combination

Muuuuuch more than that. Volca Sample is only good for lo-fi sounds because they had to keep it low budget. It's only 32kHz. And Roland drum sounds beat the Volca Drum any day. So it's multiple times better and nothing like a Volca Sample/Drum combo.

[@Smegma_pirate]

I ordered it to replace my Volcano drum as my main drum machine for dawless fun. It may be the best sounding drum Machine I’ve ever heard. Roland is far ahead of Korg with the sound quality on this one. I use my Korg es1 for lo-fi samples and my Volca drum for atmospheric clicks and pads. But the Roland brings the whole thing together in a powerful Way. Best 400 bucks I’ve spent in years

JU06a? what for?

[@sc_hdz]

Hi, I currently have the roland Tr8 but maybe ill change it for this one, any thoughts?

[@Flava_Clown]

If you can only have one or the other then the TR-6s is probably the better one, if being able to perform is not too important for you. The TR-6s might have less "tracks" but you have motion sequencing which the TR-8 for some reason doesn't have. With this you don't need 3 different toms as you can sequence the change of the tune. The same goes for the highhats, since you can automate the change of the decay you can use the same HH as open and as closed. Further the TR-6s comes with the sounds from the 606, 707 and 727, something you had to pay €100 extra to get on your TR-8. (both have the 808 and 909 sounds) Also with the TR-6s you can use your own samples and there is an FM synth. Anyway, if you can afford it and you don't need a portable device, I'd say the TR-8s is a better replacement for the TR-8. If I'd buy a TR-6s I wouldn't sell my TR-8. Even if having the TR-6s would make it kinda obsolete.

[@sc_hdz]

@@sc_hdz Unfortunately I've never had the chance to try one. Some time ago I bought a Toraiz Squid and quite like it. There are a few limitations which doesn't make much sense but other than that, it is a really good sequencer. I've made a video where I use it to automate the TR-8 a bit. What do you want to sequence with the Beatstep Pro?

[@sc_hdz]

@@Flava_Clown Thank you so much for replying!! I’ve been looking everywhere bc Im starting to do live djing. Currently I have 2 xdj 700 with the djm 450, but I wanna go more “live” with my dj performances. So rn I’ve got the tr8, the beatstep pro and im looking for a synth. I’ve been looking for the Pioneer As1, but I haven’t made a choice yet.. I’m thinking using the beatstep pro for the tr8 and the synth. Anyways, my djm450 is a 2channel mixer so I have the 2xdj’s in each channel and the tr8 is in the aux.. so, another issue that i’ve got is midi sync, currently I’m manually syncing but maybe if I’ve got the tr8 and the synth sequenced in that aux channel it’s gonna be easier to perform. My goal is to go full dawless, bc I could do the same thing with traktor kontrols, but it’s not that fun

[@Flava_Clown]

@@sc_hdz I am not familiar with the XDJ 700 nor with the DJM 450, however I had a look at the product page and read the user manual a bit. Neither got Din MIDI, but in both cases the manual says that they send MIDI (start/stop and clock is what matters here). It's not mentioned, but I guess it's MIDI over USB. I don't know if you could use something like the "Miditech USB MIDI host" to convert the USB MIDI into Din MIDI so that you could connect / sync your mixer or CDJ to the Beatstep Pro (or TR-8 / As-1). As for the audio, the TR-8 got an "external in", which you could use for the synth without the need for a new or second mixer. Both, the TR-8 and AS-1 have a sequencer, so I don't really see the need for the Beatstep Pro. Both have MIDI Thru as well, so you could chain them, one way or the other. Also if you go Pioneer why not using their Toraiz Squid instead. It's a bit more expansive but I'd say it also offers more than a Beatstep Pro.

[@raffitchakmakjian]

having a bit of Roland gear, the price of the gear goes up as the number of included features go up. You're paying for the amount of features, not digital vs analog. Roland makes quality gear with quality sound, so you're also paying for Roland quality. The Drumbrute Impact is less versatile than this box.

[@Claidheambmor]

​@@chr1sdanger The DB Impact is a lean, mean drum machine for sure! The immediacy is the trade-off for a lack of depth. The TR6S has far more of everything, but here's a big catch - you have to operate it via that tiny two-line screen. I can't tell you how much that screen hampered my ability to enjoy the TR-8S. Importing samples, creating kits and organising things with a screen that makes the original Gameboy look like a powerhouse is endlessly frustrating.

I own the TR-8S and the knob settings reflecting on the next pattern makes me dislike the TR-8S. So I will be going back to the Korg Electribe 2 since that drum machine saves the knob settings per pattern.

TR-8S saves all knob settings per pattern. You just have to write it to the pattern. Non existent problem.
