Justsnippet Reviews: New TR-8S by Roland
Roland will release soon a new drum machine called the TR-8S. The TR-8S product builds on the company’s TR-8, which kicked off Roland’s renewed interest in one of its most influential creations, the TR-808 drum machine. The new TR-8S allows you to load samples via an SD card, with controls for modulating the decay, pitch, start and end point and even playback direction.
The 16-step sequencer now will provide you an option to lock parameters, which lets you record and loop changes to the sound in real time. Eight individual outputs will provide you ability to process each sound individually while a trigger output is on-board for sequencing external hardware. The new TR-8S can store around 128 patterns with eight variations and three fills each — it also works as a multi-channel soundcard and MIDI interface.
A new Roland TR-8S will cost around $699 and available for sale in March — April 2018
