#tr8s — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #tr8s, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Took out the TR-8S tonight and played with it a bit, just to chase off bad feelings. Every time I handle any of my Roland machines, I worry about hurting them.

    I'd be terrible as a live musician.

    Progress on SH-4D tracks, too. I really do want them to shine. I WILL have redemption for all this GAS from last year!

  2. I have a Digitakt II but...I'm not sure I like Elektron's workflow. This thing is incredibly powerful, so maybe I'm just missing something?

    For comparison, I am in love with my TR-8S. Hardware controls for every damn thing, sequencer is intuitive, but it's definitely a more limited machine than the Digitakt II.

    Thoughts?

  6. A few months ago, I sold my #Roland #TR8S, and all the features I missed are now on the brand-new Roland #TR1000 drum machine. What a beast!

    Unusually housy, at least the first 45 minutes. #house #deephouse #techhouse #minimal #djmix #mc707 #tr8s #tb3 #beyondmixing - redefining a lot of tunes.

  16. Playing around now and Noticing Things. Like, when you have a maracas sound that's got a slow attack I always nudge it back a few milliseconds so the loudest part of the sound is hitting exactly on the beat instead of a smidge after it. Makes everything sound a whole lot tighter. Anyway, #TR8S has a nudge function but it only works on the whole pattern but what's worse is there's no indication of how many times you've nudged it so no way to put it back to 0. Shan't be using that function again.

  19. OSv3.0 on the #TR8S is great and all but you don't get much unless you factory reset it (after backing up the 2 kits you made yourself already) .. and then yeah like all the presets have got a bit of #Cr78 in them now, good work #Roland. Next job figure out how to delete all the presets. The editor screen that looks like a librarian isn't, so you can't just drag and drop an init preset over all the others :/

    I can tell you now - if someone made a close-to-the-metal MIDI sequencer now (not just Linux in a box), they could sell a shit ton *IF* they got a decent score on this site:

    innerclocksystems.com/litmus

    I'm not saying there isn't good modern gear (look at #Roland #TR8S) but not a polyphonic sequencer.

  27. Here’s my recording #studio space where I’m usually making #synthwave or some kind of hip-hop/blues inspired thing.

    Using a #Maschine+ Roland #MC707 #TR8S #MX1 and Korg #OPSIX and #Wavestate
