    Absolutely love my TR-8S, plug into a TB-3 and you can almost imagine its 1993 again.

    Claudio, the TR8s is an absolute beast, unlimited possibilities. Handy tip. Use it as a daw sequencer for your percussion tracks i.e. taiko and big cinema drums then fade the hardware track into the mix for multi textured layers... audio candy 🤤

  • @MikeRenouf
    @MikeRenouf Рік тому +26

    The TR8S has been one of my best ever purchases. The workflow and limitations have made me more productive than I was on a DAW which had too many possibilities.
    You had a great first jam with it 😁

  • @kbdwiz51
    @kbdwiz51 Рік тому +2

    Had that same smile on my face like I was 8 yrs old when I got to jamming on my TR-6S....now I want the TR-8S eventually even though I'm still wrapping my head around the MC-101 which is another pint sized powerhouse!

  • @brently8833
    @brently8833 Рік тому +36

    Although the TR-8S is superior for live performance with its additional tracks and knobs, the TR-6S has the exact same sound and programming capabilities with just a little more menu diving. But given that it can be easily carried in a backpack and runs on batteries, I take it on flights with me and jam out making beats on the plane. Although, one time a flight attendant called the captain on me because she was afraid I was operating a bomb 🙂

    • @maeckie5
      @maeckie5 Рік тому

      probably you were working on a bomb-track ? ;)

    • @Anth8787
      @Anth8787 Рік тому +2

      As someone who has worked on a computer for work my whole life, and a love for the piano, I noticed my general posture is geared towards typing on a keyboard. I own both the TR-6S, and TR-8S, and the playability on the TR-6S to me is superior, actually! Think about the distance of every knob on the TR-6S. Everything is "right there", within a few inches of each other. The ability to keep your hands close and reach every feature with a finger reach, rather than an arm reach, is superior. The soft material used for the keys invites a more tactile-friendly interaction. Using the Step Loop feature with multiple fingers on the TR-6S creates great creativity potential. If they had an external input on the TR-6S, to me, it would be the ultimate device.

    I had a choice between Drum Brute (loved it. Felt natural) Behringer RD8-9 (Looks Good But...)
    I brought a Korg Volca Beats. Leaned some stuff. Then upgraded to a TR-08. OMG!
    The TR-08 was the BEST LEARNING EXPERIENCE! Historically!!
    AFter that I wanted more.
    The 909 606 etc...
    And that's when I got the TR8S.
    It has everything in ONE.
    Sounds AWESOME!
    EASY TO UNDERSTAND AND VERY FUN TO USE.
