FAQs

Is Roland T-8 worth it? ›

I see this as an entry-level drum machine for budding producers to see if the analog gear is right for them. And in that regard, this thing is insanely awesome. It has just enough features to tease you into diving headfirst into more premium drum machines and makes the analog world even more accessible and exciting.

Shaping a Bass Sound

You can hold the BASS + KYBD buttons and turn the knob to transpose your bassline in real time by a semitone. Finally, to generate a random bass or drum sequence, hold SHIFT + STEP 9 for a spontaneous rhythm or SHIFT + Step 10 for a random bassline.

The T-8 exudes classic Roland character, thanks to the same Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) tech found in the TR-8S, TB-3, and other high-end AIRA gear.

A good machine less than a grand. You can't find a drum machine that can do what the TR8 does for less than a grand. I never owned a 808 but have played with them, and the only difference is the TR8 is easier to sequence. My last Drum machine was a Jomox and I sold it because it was so hard to use.

An actual hardware version 808 is rare, with only 12,000 having been manufactured over the span of three years until production was ceased in 1983, according to the Guardian.

Thanks to compatibility between components in the V-Drums range, it is easy to upgrade your kit. Modules and components are available separately, so simply choose the upgrade path that suits you.

MIDI velocities range from 0-127, so you have a reasonably wide dynamic range. If you want to mimic a real drummer, reserve maximum velocity for the very loudest moments of your song, and steer clear of using the same velocities for repeating drum hits to avoid the 'machine-gun effect'.

Connect the computer to the T-8's USB port by a USB cable. Hold down the [ SHIFT ] button and turn on the power. Open the "T-8" drive icon on the computer.

Like some of its famous siblings, the TR-8S has eight separate analog outputs, so you can process individual drum sounds through external effects or send them into separate channels of your mixer or DAW.

What does TR mean in Roland? ›

Rather than playing samples, it generates sounds using analog synthesis; the TR in TR-808 stands for "transistor rhythm".

The TR-808 arrived in 1980 to an unsuspecting and somewhat bewildered public. To many at the time, its purely analog sound and range of tweakable parameters didn't exactly deliver “traditional” drum sounds.

Over the course of the 1980s, the 808 attracted a cult following among underground musicians for its affordability on the used market, ease of use and idiosyncratic sounds, particularly its deep, booming bass drum.

Like some of its famous siblings, the TR-8S has eight separate analog outputs, so you can process individual drum sounds through external effects or send them into separate channels of your mixer or DAW. Take control of your sound and decide which instruments or groups are sent to which outputs.

Roland Aira Compact T-8 Beat Machine 8/10

It also boasts a 32-step sequencer, making it easy to create complex rhythms. In addition, the Roland Aira Compact T-8 Beat Machine contains the classic Roland TR-606, TR-808, TR-909, and TB-303 sounds, giving you a wealth of options to choose from.

Like the TR‑8, each drum track has dedicated controls for Pitch and Decay. The TR‑8S adds a third knob row called Ctrl that can be assigned to different parameters on each 'Instrument' (track). Typically this will control a unique sound-shaping target appropriate to the equivalent voice on an original X0X machine.
