This video captures a Roland TR-8S drum machine masterclass, presented by Roland’s Peter Brown at the 2019 Brooklyn Synth Expo.
In the video, Brown goes beyond traditional 808/909 style programming and digs into some of the more advanced capabilities of the TR-8S, including using custom samples, modulation sequencing, effects sequencing and polyrhythms.
these 808 and 909 sounds have absolutely no punch at all compared to the drumulator soundsets.
My apples don’t taste like oranges.
I use youtube videos to judge sound quality before I try the real thing.
i was talking about the nature of the sounds. it´s like comparing sting´s snare drums. when he played with stewart copeland the snare sound was high pitched and thin. when he played with omar hakim the snare sounded deeper. it had way more volume, was punchier. in that sense the sounds of roland´s current flagship trs8s lose against the ancient drumulator soundsets which is a shame tbh.
WHERE CAN ONE GET REAL FAT ROLAND POWER CABLES FOR TR-8S ETC..like the one he is using??. MINE Are FReAKIN TINY
Roland’s got cable kiosks at a lot of music stores now, with basically every type of cable/connector that you’re going to need.
They’re pro cables, but way cheaper than things like Monster cables.
