Hi there, great vid, is there any info online about saving reverb/delay info to a kit? I have the upgrade. But when I choose a diff pattern the position of the knobs is lost - thanks!
Made a Notepad cheat sheet from this video. I wish you could program your own colour pallets. I use the "synthwave" colours. I don't like the Classic 808 colours because those look much better on the actual TR-808.
The expansion is available in the Roland Cloud Manager. TR-8 7x7 expansion now available (again!) in Roland Cloud ruclips.net/video/zsFaDbCuzsw/видео.html
Thank you for the extremely educational videos I am a guitarist and just getting into synthesizers to try and get myself back into music (as I had a stroke) . I was hoping you might have some advice so I can sync this to my korg gear like minilogue monologue and even perhaps volcas. I think the setting I need is 2pq, am I able to change the pulses or equivalent on the tr8 please as I am very interested in it and having the onboard effects would help save me money. Any help would be thoroughly appreciated as I really enjoy this machine and want something that sounds fantastic and I agree with you it's awesome. One more thing. I'm trying to go dawless. 8) Any help would be really appreciated and thanks again for all your help. Cheers from New Zealand
Hi Heath, thank you for the kind words. Maybe this Volca Beats sync video can help ? ruclips.net/video/Af7kVjz4Cyg/видео.html. Also check the Volca Beats playlist : ruclips.net/p/PL4B9NGpCgf6M9ckMFiZKaVmZ47MlELp86. Hope this Helps!
The 7 is for Pattern sequencer's operating mode: if lit = precise timing, if unlit = pattern sequencer operates with timing modeled from the TR-808 (default value). 8 is for HiHat Link : if lit =the CH tune controls both sound (CH and OH), the CH Level controls level of both CH and OH sounds, the OH tune knobs adjust the master tuning of cymbal type sounds (if they are the one selected).
Hi there, I recently bought a TR-8 after watching your videos on that machine. I really like it. It has the 7x7-upgrade installed. One question; is there a way to "tie" a certain kit to a pattern? Or is the kit selection always global for all the patterns? Kind regards, Hans.
@@Nu-trix I really looked everywhere - your videos, the cheat sheet and of course in the machine itself. That being said, I am 98% sure that I had this happen while playing with the TR-8. That it changed kits when I changed patterns. Strange 😀
Thank you very much! Enjoying all your videos especially for Roland products. I have TR-8 and could not find out how to make snare drum sound similar to acoustic metallical sounding. If it is possible and what FX pedal to use? I have tried internal FX and MX-1.
Excellent, really helpful thank you. Is it possible to have different tuning on separate bass drum steps? if so how do I do it? Eg steps 1 & 9 a nice thump sound but steps 5 & 13 a more prolonged sound. I’m trying to replicate the drums in Chris Rea Expresso Logic track1
Hi, there is no motion sequence on the TR-8. But it sends and receives MIDI messages for most of the knobs and sliders on its front panel. So using a sequencer (Live for exemple) you could record in real time or draw on screen the knob values.
Not o my knowledge. It works like original TR... any acoustic drum for that mater. You can't play and open hi hat and a close hi hat from the same hi hat. It can only be in one of the 2 states.
Hi mate, hope you're well. Many thanks for taking the time and effort in making this video. just quick question. Although the volume is adjustable on master outs, I can not find any way on doing this to the assignable outputs. There is a significant difference between master and assignable output. Any thoughts?
The assignable outputs do not have volume out control. It need to be control in the receiving device (AKA a mixer) or FX processor. I usually send them to another mixer input for separate processing and control.
@@Nu-trix a haha 😂 I found now the manual in paper format a friend of mine make me this, but I forgot and don't read it.. Know I see all.. Thanks really.. Now is all easyer.. And I try to ask roland to give me a 7x7 extension.. I don't like to search a third tr-8 with 7x7...
good day i have owned tr-8 for a long time i liked the videos you made but you should create a problem with the machine you have chosen. I want to ask something different. I noticed that the Tr-8in Ableton was delayed a few ms while recording or performing live, including live, and I could not find a solution to this problem. According to my internet research, there is a chronic problem, I would love to hear if anyone has a solution or suggestion. Stay with music!
(FROM the Roland Manual 7x7 expansion tr8 available on their web site) 7: Lit (ON) The pattern sequencer operates with precise timing. Unlit (OFF) The pattern sequencer operates with timing that models the TR-808 (Default) 8: Lit (ON) Use the CH [TUNE] knob to simultaneously adjust the tuning of CH and OH. The CH [LEVEL] fader simultaneously adjusts the volume of CH and OH. The OH [TUNE] knob adjusts the master tuning of cymbal-type sounds (TR606/TR-808 sounds only). Unlit (OFF) The CH/OH tuning and volume are adjusted by each controller (default setting).
U say 6 is for scatter and than u say 6 is for midi clock an song Information, what is now right.. Sorry wen I am wrong.. Can u explain maybe with a new video 7>8 and in the update Mode the button 1>9? This will be great.. I know it's not easy to make this videos.. But u help us so much.! Thanks again And stay healthy!

Hi, I am connecting my roland tr8 to my mx1 via usb. When I have my mx1 at 44k my tr8 sounds fine. When my mx1 is at 96, my tr8 audio is glitvhy and unuseable. I want to use 96k so my digital input works with my analog to digital convertor, which only works at 96k. Any ideas whats going on? the mx1 is meant to match sample rates for the aira range, and the tr8 should be coming through at 96k
From Roland Support page : MX-1: CHANGING THE SAMPLING RATE Tags: aira, MX-1, sample rate OverviewBy default, the MX-1 as an internal sampling rate of 96k. This can be changed to 48k, and 44.1k. If you are running a session at 48k with the MX-1 as the sound-card, you should check that the MX-1 is changed accordingly. This also pertains to the Digital Input/Output jack. The connected piece of gear should share the same sample rate as the MX-1 in order to hear it correctly. ProcessTo change the sample rate: 1. While holding down the [GAIN] button, turn on the power.2. Use the buttons, knobs and the pads to change the settings.3. Press the [BFX] button and turn the [VALUE] knob. This will change the sample rate.4. Press [START/STOP] button to save the settings. FYI...Other AIRA pieces have a fixed sample rate of 96k. The MX-1 can down-sample every AIRA piece, making them compatible with sessions outside of 96k!

I am not using a computer, just a hardware set up. In theory the tr8 should be downsampled to the 44k session on the mx1, but it isnt doing this. I have not yet tried setting the tr8 bitrate on a pc - maybe this setting is retained once it isnt connected to a computer anymore.
For us late the party with the TrR-8 this video is an excellent setup reference 👌
always coming back to this video from time to time, when i want something to change but forgot how to do it.
good job mate!
That is exactly how I built it. for me to come back when needed.
@@Nu-trix haha, nice. so theres little to no chance that this will be deleted. lovely ;-)
I found plenty of answers about my TR-8 in this video... And it was well explained. Thank you a LOT!
Just picked up a TR8 with the kit expansions and learning the ins and outs of the device. Much appreciated.
Thank you for the video!
I have a problem with the ch and oh mute settings. I want to hear them both without blocking each other

Considering picking up the tr8 over the 2; limitation breeds creativity.
Any links to the expansions?

I made a video about the differences between the Tr-8 and TR-8s : TR-8S VS TR-8 - what are the differences?
ruclips.net/video/3802vuk8ji0/видео.html
nice ! I was having problems with the kick being in the red all the time because of that loudness function
Excellent thanks
How to save settings changes?
Press start/stop
Fyi all
hell yeah, thanks you so much
How do you set up the machine to have separate outputs? It doesn’t explain how to set it up? Thanks!
Unbelieveable cool video, took a load of useful notes from that, Thanks!

What new Roland sampler are you referring to in the last part of your video?
I think I was talking about the Roland SP-404a
How do I get the 707/727/606 access. Are they kits that get loaded into the TR-8?
THX! You have to work for Roland...
10 Minutes of pleasure for every Tr8 fan!
Whats with the 7 and 8 step Buttons in the setup mode? I cant find informations about their functions.
The 7 is for Pattern sequencer's operating mode: if lit = precise timing, if unlit = pattern sequencer operates with timing modeled from the TR-808 (default value).

I went back to check and I can only find how to link effects with kits but not kits with pattern.

It's possible that 96K is putting to much strain on your computer. Change your buffer values to test around and find the best setting.
