T-8 : More limited than Roland let on

4 years ago

Be warned - while the marketing copy says you "get sounds from the TR-606/808/909" the reality is you get:

1 909 kick

1 808 snare

2 808 toms

1 808 clap

1 606 OH

1 606 CH

1 Noise not from any previous Roland machines

So you can't change the kick sound from 909 to 808, or the hats from 606 to 909, etc. I find this misleading and returned the product.

Is it well-made? Yes. Is it fun? Yes. Does it sound good? Yes, but it's also extremely limited in terms of drum sounds - so unless you're good with the selection offered don't buy.
