Two videos in and many questions answered very quickly. I agree with the comment before mine. I think that sometimes instructional videos are made to cater to the industry and not the individual. We’re the ones making the creative choices. Succinct instruction is what we need. Great content!
Thank you for revealing the mysteries of setting the bass drum compression and decay with the menu button. Your videos are concise and give the most pertinent information in a relaxed setting that goes at my pace. Kudos.
On the money dude!!!! $$$$$$about to buy one to TRSYNC with Serato..i bought the new T8 Aira beat machine but Roland and Serato unfortunately only support TR08, TR09, TR8 and TR8S for TRsync support..DAMN!
OSX Mavericks 10.9 users can safely use the 10.10 OSX driver and it works perfectly for the Tr-08. Only problem is it will not install unless using CharlesSoft Pacifist, a shareware application that opens Mac OS X .pkg package files. Using Pacifist you can install the Tr-08 drivers on OSX 10.9 and everything works fine after restart.
Hey, I wonder if TR-08 can be used as a MIDI controller? Means, if it outputs anything except the clock, over MIDI? I'd like to patch it into my DAW over USB, and make it so different drum sounds in the pattern will trigger different things in my scene. Can't find the answer anywhere on Internet. Thanks ahead
All the controllers on the panel (tone level, comp, snappy etc.. ) are being send using MIDI. Using them you can record a real time performance of the knobs also in your DAW. T
@@Nu-trix so I've just bought a device, and can confirm that it transmits absolutely everything I need, including the pattern number! Thanks a lot for the tip
My midi controller (Arturia keystep) is set to same CH as TR 08. But they don’t see each other. I can not use my keystep to record the TR08. Any ideas?
Yo Nu-Trix , i have this question about the bassdrum and maybe you or someone else knows the answer! I just run the tr08 as hardware and the bassdrum is sort of cut down in the decay while it is playing and change the tempo makes differences in the curroff..
for some reason my panning has stopped working so kick and snare are hard panned left with other sounds hard panned right this is something i didn't do myself it just happened .meanwhile the tuning etc is still functioning, have i somehow switched off the pan, any ideas?
@@defaultcolor havent got it in front of me right now but I had to go into menu and use the bottom row of buttons to switch this function off (or on) cant recall the name of the function though. I'll take a look later and get back to you.
@@johnk6312 was it the OUT option on the menu? I haven’t tried it but in this video he mentions that clicking the bottom row will cause the buttons to blink indicating that it’s on/off stereo mode. I’ll give that a try.
@@defaultcolor I honestly dont get this current trend for little or no manual but it seems to be a cost cutting thing now, I could have saved hours of frustration and lost time. I sooner pay the extra for proper detailed manuals.thank god for youtube eh haha
Thank you for your great videos on the boutiques, Im new to the tr-08/808, am I right in thinking that when programming a pattern in the built-in sequencer you cannot include both the conga and toms in the same pattern ?
Thanks so Much Nu Trix for your help. I am using the TR 08 in sync with a TB 03. But I use them combined via Logic, so they go out divided in many speakers. The thing is that when Im playing triggering both, some sounds cannot be used. Specifically the Cymbal, that I like a lot just does not come out. If the TR 08 is not triggered to the TB 03 and i go out via the stereo output it does. I do not know why this happens. How could I use the cymbal when both are triggered. Thanks lot!!!
I picked up one these because I'm just now getting into synths and electronic music but I have literally never used any drum machine (other than a BeatBuddy pedal) in my life, and I have a dumb question: When you were on the tuning screen, you could hit the 1-16 buttons to create sounds. The demo TR-09 in Guitar Center was set up like this and that functionality is what made me want to buy it. Other than you on that tuning screen, I haven't seen a TR-08 have that capability. Can you record by hitting those buttons, as opposed to setting each instrument individually with the big yellow Tap button? I would much rather do that and record two or three instruments at the same time.
Without an existing Internet almost all of you who are asking this 🙈 Questions would have to learn your machines for years(as its normal!)! Ever thought about trying testing for weeks and finaly learning??its a shame that everytime there is a little dumb question people write it in forums or comment sections...i mean questions like....no i dont want to offend somebody but pls,try to use your head,get experience,talk to others who make music and prepare for years of learning,thats normal in this buiseness! All this features are written in MY tr08 manual...except the midi ch thing of the toms-thx for that-,i dont understand why u all acct like „wow“a new cheat. Most of them are achivable even without manual..just try it..learning by doing,the amount of knobs is limited😜😎
Hi there. I made a video to answer your question: TR-08 - How to make a pattern length 4 bars instead of 2 bars.ua-cam.com/video/0MBiS7tdnto/v-deo.html
Hey mate, at the end of the video when you are in the "OUT" section, you change each sound from stereo to mono.. Is this so you can record out as either mono or stereo? Is it better to record out in mono?? :/
@@Nu-trix Thanks ... Should i buy ? Is it worth it? I do not have such a device at all. What are the benefits for me? (TR-08) I am making music production. THANKS...
On the TR‑08 you can simply tap the Bank button and the tempo fine control knob becomes a Swing control. www.soundonsound.com/reviews/roland-tr-08-rhythm-composer
For almost the same price I think the Tanzmaus or Tanzbar Lite sound better, have many more modulation/variation possibilities, parameter lock, are analog and handmade, similar size.
I don't own a TR but it took me like 1 hour to figure out the Tanzmaus and I had never used a drum machine before. I guess it's not that complicated but you do have to see some tutorials or read the manual, and I agree at least from what I've seen, that the boutiques seem very hands-on.
To be fair, in this, you remind me of me! Yeah, you need better sleep. You have good face but I think you need better rest. Maybe too much phone before bed! Haha. Well, I didn’t sleep again last night. Must try and sleep later!
Yes, in some of these videos I look really tired. I film these often after 10pm, after putting the kids to bed. I now try to film on Saturday on Sunday morning. We will see!
Dude, Roland needs to use your videos on their site. This is wayyyyy better than what they provide.
Tell them!
Thanks!
I totally agree
Agreeeed and That compressor hits tho

Thanks for the good words.
Great thank you! Excited for my tr-08 coming soon. Ready for some portable jamming with my Korg monologue:)
Picked. It up after lots of pandemic shelf. These set of videos opened it up. Thanks.
Nobody puts as much time into the features as you. There's that dad-looking dude synth nut from Scandinavia, he's good too, you pair are the best.
Thank you for this excellent review
Thanks man,soon I'm getting TR09 and TR08 ,you make great demoes of these instruments.
Thanks. I’m thinking about creating a “missing manual” and selling it for cheap.
@@Nu-trix do it :)

I need help. My tr 08 tempo is very inaccurate how do fix it
I just subscribed because your videos are way better than Roland's
Super helpful video thanks so much!
Thanks for the excelent explanation! i wanted the trick for the bass drum and i found much more on your video!
Super. That’s why I do it!
I "suggested" Roland to employ you! the tutorials they are giving are pure shit, man!
It’s very nice of you. I’m have a lot of good friends at Roland Canada they are a great team.
But I do agree with you. The Boutique manuals are almost a joke.
for some reason my panning has stopped working so kick and snare are hard panned left with other sounds hard panned right this is something i didn't do myself it just happened .meanwhile the tuning etc is still functioning, have i somehow switched off the pan, any ideas?
Same deal here but only with headphones. Find a fix?

@@defaultcolor I think it was yes. Its handy for some sounds but the last thing you want is a bass or snare panned hard left or right.

Thank you for your great videos on the boutiques, Im new to the tr-08/808, am I right in thinking that when programming a pattern in the built-in sequencer you cannot include both the conga and toms in the same pattern ?
venz you can if you use a midi controller keyboard
great video, good stuff!

What is the source of the trigger? What type of trigger?
Great job!!!! Thanks a Lot bro!!!
you may hear the long delay, but I just don't feel it. Superb demo though, thank you x

hihat link is just for linking the volume pot for open and closed hihat...the ch-vol becomes inactive...there is no choke on-off feature.
nik bohn , you are right. I was going with a reflex, because it’s usually what the hi hat link offers. In this case the hi hat choke is always on.
Got a question just received the tr 08 how do you make the length 4 bars instead of two bars
Hi there. I made a video to answer your question: TR-08 - How to make a pattern length 4 bars instead of 2 bars.ua-cam.com/video/0MBiS7tdnto/v-deo.html
how do you copy a pattern please ?
Cool Vid!!!!
Thanks
Can we provide automation decay kick?
@Nu-Trix The Synth Guy
I think it is possible when using a sequencer
Hey mate, at the end of the video when you are in the "OUT" section, you change each sound from stereo to mono.. Is this so you can record out as either mono or stereo? Is it better to record out in mono?? :/
TR08 actually connects to K25m keyboard, then the first octave plays the sounds Live over the Beat.
That is exactly what it is expected to be doing.
Top again !
Closed hi hat Doesn't it get toned?
If I remember well you access it in the menu.
@@Nu-trix Thanks ... Should i buy ? Is it worth it? I do not have such a device at all. What are the benefits for me? (TR-08) I am making music production. THANKS...

is there a swing mode?

Got a Tr8S but just bought a TR08. Is anyone else addicted to buying studio gear???
How do you connect it to midi ? (With a 5 pin din)
I personally prefer connecting it using USB to my Roland MX-1 for MIDI and Audio.
hidden features are not really hidden features at all go to there main page theres a update list !!!!
For almost the same price I think the Tanzmaus or Tanzbar Lite sound better, have many more modulation/variation possibilities, parameter lock, are analog and handmade, similar size.
pozsoz the sequencer isn't as user friendly like the TR units. Just saying.
I don't own a TR but it took me like 1 hour to figure out the Tanzmaus and I had never used a drum machine before. I guess it's not that complicated but you do have to see some tutorials or read the manual, and I agree at least from what I've seen, that the boutiques seem very hands-on.
