The Roland Aira TR-8 is a performance rhythm machine that melds the legendary sound and vibe of the TR-808 and TR-909 with features and functions for the modern age. Genre-defining sounds and classic effects. Unprecedented live pattern manipulation. Solid, intuitive performance controls. It’s the TR…Evolved.With the TR-8, we have obsessively analysed and faithfully re-created every detail and nuance of the analogue circuitry of these legendary rhythm machines. The boom and snap of the 808. The thud of the 909. The robotic click of an 808 rim shot or a classic 909 snare roll. It’s all here. Not content with mere recreations however, we have enhanced these classic instruments with capabilities far beyond the original units. Tune and Decay knobs are now present on every instrument and the Bass and Snare drum modules have dedicated “Attack” and “Comp” knobs allowing for a great variety of tones – from subtle ambient percussion to pounding dance grooves. Per-step effects and the massively addictive “Scatter” function take things into entirely new territory. With the authentic tone and character of the original units and with new sound tweaking capabilities inspired by legions of users, the TR-8 breathes new life into the sounds we all know and love.Just like the original Full reproduction of the original TR-808 and TR-909 rhythm machines based on original design spec sheets and detailed analogue circuit analysis of various specimens including Roland’s own pristine unitsNewly developed Analogue Circuit Behaviour (ACB) technology allows part-by-part analyses and faithful recreation of tonality and behaviour including the smooth variations of tone that occur when you work the controls of each instrumentObsessive attention to detail - like reproducing the original TR’s unique variations in tone that occur when multiple instruments are entered in accented stepsTR Evolved Build dream kits made up of different instruments from the TR-808 and TR-909.16 stunning kits made up of 11 instrument types.Control the intensity of the Accent function with a dedicated knob.Per-step Gate Reverb and Delay effects with dedicated, real-time knobs.Mix sources connected to the external inputsBuilt-in Side Chain function creates rhythmic ducking effects on external Inputs with per-step control.Two assignable analogue outputs and full parallel outputs via USB for total mixing flexibility.Make no mistake - the TR-8 is an instrument, carefully designed from the ground-up, to be played. Every control has a solid, predictable feel with each drum instrument having robust, “playable” faders. Numerous lighted knobs and RGB-lit buttons give real-time performance feedback and a striking appearance on stage.Pattern creation is creative and intuitive using an evolved version of the TR-REC method which originated in the TR-808 and eventually became the standard for electronic rhythm programing. Based on detailed analysis of the original TR-808, the TR-REC behaviour has been faithfully modeled in the TR-8. But the TR-8 goes well beyond the original, allowing you to seamlessly switch between programming and performance modes and to introduce lots of groovy rhythmic variations – from subtle snare fills to total glitch meltdowns.Just like the original Faithful TR-REC behaviour for pattern creationLarge tempo control knob and a Fine adjustment knob for total tempo control.16-step sequencer allows you to switch between variations [A] and [B] as well as continuous playbackPlay drum instruments and record to steps in real-timeTR Evolved Scatter lets you freak and tweak your grooves with real-time control and perfect sync16 per-step pads with bold, full-colour LEDs clearly show the current status Real-time pattern creation up to 32 steps Change the pattern step count seamlessly and on the flyRec/Play modes have been eliminated enabling seamless pattern making and performanceSeamless switch between step input and playing pads in real-time to create patternsReal-time play of 4 different types of rolls to suit your beatQuickly Mute/Unmute individual instruments during performance or productionShuffle function from original TR-909 now has a knob for continuous real-time controlPattern randomising function induces creativity and brings spontaneity to live performance7 segment, 4 character LED display shows the current tempo and has Tap functionPattern copy makes it easy to create pattern variations
