[@DanCThorpe]

This is cool. But. How do I asign the control nob to tune?

[@UnitE808]

You don’t tune is the top knob of the three. Assigning coarse to the curl knob is done by holding the curl select button and turning the curl knob you want to assign. Make sure the instrument is a sample, indicated by the S in the top left of the screen when selecting an instrument. Coarse is not available to ACB tones, indicated by just a P in the top left of screen.

[@Kimsonian]

Sorry just to confirm the CTRL knob is set to instaFX:Coarse tune yes?

[@UnitE808]

kimson albert yes. Hold the ctrl select button and turn the ctrl knob you want to assign. Coarse is at about where the knob points to 10 o'clock.

@@thecowboy666 if the instrument is an acb sound, coarse is not an option. The instrument has to be a sample, indicated by the S in the upper left of the screen by the name of the sound. Make sure you have 'User' selected in the Kit menu, CTRL category.

[@ΣΦΠ_Γ]

UnitE hi there, after i've input the notes this way, when i change parameter to, say, Cutoff, the notes don't play anymore and is replaced by the cutoff effect instead. I can only get the notes back if i set Ctrl to Coarse again, and then i lose the cutoff. Is this the normal behavior or am i missing a step. I've heard talk of parameter lock but i can't find the damn thing hah

[@UnitE808]

Σ∞ταΦ you have to set the filter cutoff in the instrument menu. Motion record remembers the movement and placement of the ctrl knob, regardless of what's assigned to it. Once you change the assignment, it does the motion for that effect.

[@ΣΦΠ_Γ]

thanks man i'll give it a go

[@ΣΦΠ_Γ]

ok tried it, kinda worked for cutoff or res adjustment, but no motion. I guess u can't have 2 motions goin at the same time. I thought there might be a way to have multiple motions goin on one ctrl assignment for one instrument. As u said.

[@ΣΦΠ_Γ]

i should rephrase that : it as u say, 'once u change the assignment, it does the motion for that effect'

[@UnitE808]

Σ∞ταΦ nope. You cant have 2 separate controls on one knob. I said that you can design your sound and stack fx, not stack motion recording. You can change your sound without motion rec and once the sound is how you like it, set the ctrl knob to coarse and create notes.

[@UnitE808]

Be sure to set the CTRL parameter in your Kit Menu to User, then set your ctrl knob to Coarse by holding the ctrl select button and turning the ctrl knob.

Hey man!:) thanks so much and sorry if i repost something ive just wrote on a recent comment to the video: Is this trick still running? Got a tr8s with a 2.51v firmware and doing everything you are advising the coarse will change the general coarse. This happens despite you click on a certain step and even the lcd display shows as you are acting on a single step. But it always ends up you modify the coarse for all the steps of the instrument. Thanks if you can provide an advice, it is so important:)

[@UnitE808]

It will remain the last value that was programmed in. If you want it to go back to the natural coarse tune or 0, you have to set the next step or next note to be that value. Think of it as you turned the knob and never turned it back.

[@RabRabNZ]

Great video thanks! Utterly ridiculous that you can't sequence notes with a midi keyboard even 3 years later. Roland is really dumb sometimes.

[@UnitE808]

Thank you for the kind words! Roland has their synths and this is a drum machine. I understand why they didnt give it synth controls. They gave us a way to make some melodic content to go with our drums, they didn't give us a groovebox. There is a 3rd party app that let's you get close to what you want to achieve. It's called TRSkreamer.

Motion record records the knob movement, not what the knob is assigned to. So, if you have coarse on the ctrl knob for a melody, you can't assign it to another parameter. If you want to tweak the inst fx and you are on firmware 2.0 or higher, hold the instrument button (bd-rc) and turn the Master Fx Level knob.

Thanks for taking the time to explain this. But also... fuck Roland for not implementing a simple chromatic mode instead of forcing us to tweak knobs (that aren't even encoders with 'stops'). Like... why can we not just play notes through a DAW or with a keyboard??? I swear they must have board meetings to decide which basic feature to omit from expensive, flagship gear. And yet, I keep crawling back to them because their stuff is otherwise awesome. I guess I'm just stuck in an abusive relationship with Roland.

[@UnitE808]

It is sold as a drum machine. They are sticking with that. It has sample capabilities and tuning, but its not a synth. Some sort of tuner algorithm would have to be installed to read the key of any sample or loop imported into the machine. That might be too processor intensive for that machine. I agree with you though. It would be much easier to make melodies with a keyboard.

Unit:E Great video! It’s good that the semitone can be changed for each step. I’m wondering, what about if you want to use this same melody creation technique to affect an outside synthesizer or sound-module through MIDI connection? Can you use the TR-8s to drive another synthesizer (through MIDI connection) and be able to change the semitones of that "outside synthesizer" per step the same way you did in this video? Thanks!

[@UnitE808]

George Galamb I don't think you can do that. The control knob is strictly for the on board instrument. I don't think it sends any midi data out itself. You'd have to set up through a computer and some kind of midi Checker or whatever to see what actually sends data out from that unit. I think there is a midi implementation chart on the Roland website under supporting documents.

[@ΣΦΠ_Γ]

[@tompetroff]

Thanks. Great help. So I'm a few weeks into my tr8s and a few things baffle me. Is there a way that you know of to start on a blank canvas? No instruments loaded everything empty and then assign each instrument to its desired location? I'm having to take an already designated kit and reassign everything. And because there are patterns associated with that kit. (Seems like the tr8s only plays one pattern at a time?) I'm stuck with all the assigned parameters associated to that instrument. For example, if I load a kit but want to put something in place of the Tom's, maybe a sample... then the delays assoc with the Tom's are now assoc with my sample and so on. Any way you know of to zero out everything? Many thanks in return for your help

[@UnitE808]

Join the Facebook group for the TR-8S. There is a guy who created a blank default. The only other way I know is to got to pattern 6-06 or above and kit 97 and above. The kit is not blank, but there should be no pattern created. It's just a default 808 kit

Then what would happen when I import a sample? There would have to be a key detection algorithm in there, an accurate one at that. That means someone there would have to design one. All the key detection algorithms I have used can be inaccurate. If that happens, everyone grumbles how inaccurate it is. The semitones adjustment makes more sense to me. This easily allows any sample to be imported and adjusted accurately. Any musician knows how to adjust in semitones. You also have to remember that this is a rhythm performer with sample import capability, not a synth or sampler. Now, there is a poll going on the TR-8S group on Facebook that is full of feature requests. That request is on the poll.
