The instrument also supports both mono and stereo user samples, and comes packed with hands-on controls and production tools that make patterns move and groove. Dynamic and inspiring, the TR-8S takes the rhythm machine to a new level of creative power.<\/p>\n<p>Included in the TR-8S is every sound from the most sought-after TR classic drum machines, with authentic recreations of the 808, 909, 707, 727, and 606, as well as several modified versions. Powered by Roland\u2019s highly acclaimed ACB technology, each machine is a detailed, component-level model that sounds and behaves exactly like the original hardware.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Roland TR-8S: Overview\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6WDFJycWFAo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On top of the classic sounds that defined an era of drum machines the TR-8S also comes with it&#8217;s own preset samples. What makes it such a powerful machine is that you can import all your own samples via an SD card slot giving you limitless possibilities to create your own sounds and combinations with any sample you like.<\/p>\n<p>With one glance at it&#8217;s design you can see that the TR-8S is something special that adds so much more to the possibilities of their older rhythm composers. The customisation is so deep on the TR-8S that you can even edit the brightness, colours, and glows of each element to streamline you workflow with visual feedback that fits exactly what you&#8217;re doing.

Record each drum instrument to a different channel for individual processing and recording, automate parameter movements from your DAW by CC messages, or sync the TR-8S to your computer or Roland MX-1 Mix Performer for live sets or late-night jam sessions.<\/p>\n<p>Roland say: &#8220;For the last four years, we&#8217;ve heard feedback from enthusiastic TR-8 fans and artists from around the world.
