This has made my mind up on getting the TR8S. Catnapp has shown just how drum machines are incredible inspirational tools in the right hands. Too good.
Funny to see the negative comments. I love the fact she uses space rather than filling the canvas with metronomic cliches. Congratulations Roland - I applaud the artists you chose for this launch. They are all great because they are all choosing to work in new sounds, with new ideas. This is clearly a fantastic piece of performance kit, lovingly designed for live use. I think some people might be missing the whole point of this machine. If you want standard dance floor grooves then the older TR-8 model or more recent TR-08 will be more to your taste. As someone making and performing electronic music for over 10 years, this is very exciting specifically because it CAN create weird, wonky, asymmetric, alien music. So yes, it makes perfect sense to use sound artists rather than pop musicians to promote it. /Rant
Love it.. Already sold my TR8, ordered one of these yesterday. This video just reinforces how much more use I'm going to get out of this thing... :-) Off to check out more Catnapp now too...
Very good. Love the minimalistic groove and all of this with just the tr 8 and a synth. The girl knows her stuff. Retro feel with punk influenced vox and ace drum impro.
I went through my set today, I use a five track looper to perform/fx stems along with two Mother 32's. My rule today was to only ever play two tracks max on any session and it works great, there's sonic space, every sound has a purpose and the ear wants a little more. I like minimalism.
YO! Roland super DOPE curation of artist for these sessions. Catnapp this was a beautiful thing... "A Revolution is not a bed of roses." -Fidel... Yep! It's a dirty job, but somebody gotta do it. Keep Bangin Ladies!!!
It looks like a MIDI keyboard only. Probably it controls some VST in Ableton visible behind her. Sounds like some FM synth, a little too bright for subtractive synth.
Misogyny - the catch-all term to describe any criticism of a woman whether valid or not. I personally like to see women getting into the production side of things rather than just singing for a change. It's disappointing when they get slated for it but if they aren't any good then why shouldn't they? I'm not saying Catnapp isn't any good btw.
This is beautiful! I wanted it to never end. Best demo of them all! I watched a few of the other girl demos before this one and when I saw this demo was another girl, I almost skipped it. But damn!!! This is an amazing demo that actually makes me want to buy this drum machine.
Nice distorted drum sounds, I guess the there is a distortion effect inside the TR-8S unless they are part of the sampled drum library or a loaded sample? Anyway they sound good, nice one. 👍
A great machine, but this music is a bit boring. It's very repetitive and there's no tune. And the dancing isn't very convincing, there is no point moving to the beat when you are just adjusting a few knobs rather than playing an actual instrument.
This must be a new Genre... Minimalistic Minimal or so.. or minimal talent, just sayin.. Sound effects dont make good music... Best example right here.
Aloa He I listened to some of the tunes on your page. I don't think you're qualified to say what good music is made of. Or what good music is at all for that matter. Instead of bashing,get back at it. Maybe you'll get more than 12 likes. Good night now!

I agree. Using classic sounds in an interesting way.
Lawrence Brock some folks thinks clutter = skill 🤷🏾♂️
people freak out if it got a triplet feel or god forbid a 6/8 groove
mmmm no!! tr8s is boring the real deal is DFAM from Moog
it's an entirely cliche riddled performance filled with a great deal of embarrassment for viewer and performer alike...
By far the most musically interesting of these. Goes her own way rather than 4/4 for 4 minutes. Respect to Catnapp.
dammmn FINALLY a demo of something that isnt 4 on the floor and is INSPIRING to boot
Love it.. Already sold my TR8, ordered one of these yesterday. This video just reinforces how much more use I'm going to get out of this thing... :-)
Off to check out more Catnapp now too...
I wonder how I missed this one in the series! Fantastic!
Very good. Love the minimalistic groove and all of this with just the tr 8 and a synth. The girl knows her stuff. Retro feel with punk influenced vox and ace drum impro.
Love this one! Awesome!
I really like this track, I think it's a pretty unexpected and creative beat! Go Catnapp!
You ROCK Catnapp! 🤘

amazing set!!!!
I like that saturation on the kicks, deep synth and transitions in the content, this track has the depth and panoramic vibe, good job!
I 👍🏻 like this a lot
I love you Catnapp.
one of the better demonstrations love it
amazing
I have to say this is the best one out of all of them, gives me more of a reason to purchase it now.
Talent 👏🏼👏🏼👌🏼
Great performance
oh yess! this is the best demo of the TR-8S ... is this track going to be available complete?
in love with this
Pretty good when the synth comes in.... An original artist (and lovely girl) with her own musical style.
incredible performance! what a creative use of the instrument
Fucking excellent, maximum respect. Pure electronica live. Big up!
Finaly not a techno/house demo. She shows that you can do amazing things with the tr8s...
Argentina,linda y super talentosa!
Sick.
Now that I’ve watched the whole thing through: Absolutely. Fucking. Sick. Dig it.
this is cold blooded
Hotness.....!!! real nice! :)
Nice ... makes it seem way more interesting than all the other the demos i saw so far

Ask Machinedrum to jam on this.
Top notch performance! Anyone know what kinda synth shes got under her right hand? 25 full-size keys, seemed touch sensitive.
It looks like a MIDI keyboard only. Probably it controls some VST in Ableton visible behind her. Sounds like some FM synth, a little too bright for subtractive synth.
This is brilliant! Beautifully minimalist and interesting. The misogyny from synth bros in the comments is totally unsurprising but super gross.
True...
Exactly
It's misogyny when males have an opinion that differs from yours?
[r00t] yes

My Subwoofer loves the kick in the beginning, my hair drys within a splitsecond. 😂
finally somebody showing more creative use of the fx...
which are not too special, but handy it's all in one box
Love it
NI massive preset sound on keys :)
Respec, personality++++, 163 dislikes is respect, means you pissed off puritans, :D
1:28 and onwards - starts getting more interesting. Ain't all that bad.
I liked this one the best. needed a BASS element other than that pretty avant-garde. and unpredictable F-R-E-S-H
777 Wisdom avantgarde? You must be a time traveller
🍁💚💛❤️🍁
Still kicks
Amazing!
Nice track.
Does anyone know what keyboard she is using for the chords?
its a alesis controler V 25 alesis.com/products/view2/v25
it only has USB so most probably some VST
Based Frequency Thankyou for clarifying my question. Most appreciated.

nice jam !
Ha! Nice to see you here 👾
I like the BEC one. That one is fire!
yeah BEC jam is cool too !
this box seems really cool
tr8 s is like esx or es2 no ?
I didn't know catnapp
nice !
I like the pad and the beat
Nice distorted drum sounds, I guess the there is a distortion effect inside the TR-8S unless they are part of the sampled drum library or a loaded sample? Anyway they sound good, nice one. 👍
those sound like the "scatter" effects that the original TR-8 had.... if im not mistaken?
very cool shit
Is the mic plugged into the Roland machine?
awesome jam
Fuckin dope
fuck these videos make me mad hungry for mine... waiting and waiting for the cash to arrive
yes
make it weird
..... normal people don't get it and it makes them angry ........
if you can't dance .. even in your head ...
it's also what u don't hear
Nein oh nein the hate oh hate
Ampiiiii
WELCOME TO MCDONALDS CAN I TAKE YOUR ORDER!!!!!
I like this, but it'd be nice with just a pinch more going on.
Roland fuck me dead what are you doing?
Tb3 or bassline she used for vocal?
Dusty boi
This must be the superlative of "boring shit"....
what's the "point" of (besides) mumbling?

You'd better start cleaning or cooking, because you need to have an ear for music
Riveting
Not sure if it is a good idea to make music which breaks most reifications of the current era.
your hairdresser could have made this...
syntheon well shit...i wanna hear her album then
No se que es lo que esta mal, si la interprete o el TR - 8s, cada vez los músicos y el sistema electrónico va de mal en peor.
love the machine, but please Roland, delete this video! pure anti-promo!
This is so boring
A great machine, but this music is a bit boring. It's very repetitive and there's no tune. And the dancing isn't very convincing, there is no point moving to the beat when you are just adjusting a few knobs rather than playing an actual instrument.
This must be a new Genre... Minimalistic Minimal or so.. or minimal talent, just sayin..
Sound effects dont
make good music... Best example right here.
Aloa He I listened to some of the tunes on your page. I don't think you're qualified to say what good music is made of. Or what good music is at all for that matter. Instead of bashing,get back at it. Maybe you'll get more than 12 likes. Good night now!
.. you hope she dates you for that crappy opinion, ... dont you? :D
That turned into Virtue Signaling and sexism quickly. Do you really think that that makes sense as a retort @Aloa He?
Great gear. No talent.
