In this video, I quickly show you how to set and recall a tempo marker. Great for live performances!

Owned this for years. Read the manual. NEVER knew about this! Thank you :D

[@gmaxxbln]

Great tip! I had completely overlooked the function in the manual! Thx!

[@UnitE808]

I missed it the first few reads as well!

Love your videos man! All of these TR8S videos have been incredibly useful to me and I’m sure for others as well, thank you!

[@UnitE808]

Heya! so when you dropped the BPM, you whipped up the delay to space it out right, but can you program additional and maybe more complex sequences of fx ready to drop in? ...like, turn up the delay, and, also turn up a filter and sweep a notch, where those steps are somthing you progam, store, and use on demand... I see how this kit is very much "live performance " oriented and watching you play with these reminds a me of how much knob-twiddlin fun to be had !😀

[@UnitE808]

You absolutely can automate some of it. I just did something quickly to get the point across, but I use the automation a lot in programming the patterns.

Thanks for the video. It was starting to feel like everyone on KZbin had forgotten about the TR8S!

Why do my kits not save on each project I create? I know I'm saving it right via manual. However,every time I select a new pattern, the kit from my previous pattern carries over. And I cant figure why that is. Please help if you can sir.

[@UnitE808]

In the utility settings, you need to set kitsel to pattern. This will keep each kit with the pattern its assigned to. Also, check the the Sw setting under the kit category of the Pattern settings (shift+pattern select) is set to On.

[@trusto1016]

Yes sir did exactly that and it seems to still follow lol

[@UnitE808]

Try to select a different pattern and then choose a different kit. Then hit shift write

[@UnitE808]

You might have it so the new pattern already had the kit set to it.

[@trusto1016]

Oh oh I just noticed that a kit I saved is literally on every project. That's weird cause I never had this issue before the 2.0 patch update.
