ROLAND TRs-8 HIRE MELBOURNE

The TR-8S combines the best of Roland’s heritage with the latest production techniques and professional sound design. The result is a future-oriented, performance-optimised instrument like no other. Build your dream kit from the most iconic drum sounds of all time, plus hand-picked samples from Roland’s vast library, or import your own custom samples.

TR-8S features the largest and most authentic collection of TR drum machines on the market. A powerful new processor brings a whole new level of detail and nuance to Roland’s next-generation ACB models, delivering classic Roland boom, snap and sizzle. And now you can incorporate preset and custom samples, creating unique hybrid and layered kits, and enhance them with specialized effects that inject professional sound design into the TR formula.

The TR-8S has every sound from the most sought-after TR drum machines, with detailed circuit-models of the 808, 606, 909, 707, 727, and even several modified versions. These are not sound-alike sample-packs or mere recordings of TR drum sounds. Each machine is a detailed, down-to-the-circuit-model that sounds and behaves exactly like the original hardware.

While authentic TR sounds are vital for producing drum tracks, mixing and layering sounds opens a world of modern styles and the exciting potential to craft your own signature sound. Pull from the extensive collection of preset samples, or import your own mono or stereo sounds using the SD card slot. Like the TR sounds, you can deeply manipulate samples with immediate hands-on control. Adjust decay and tuning and alter sample start points, speed, and direction. You can create a kit entirely from samples or mix and match with TR sounds for genre-defying drum tracks that demand attention.
