Roland TR-6S Rhythm Performer Reviews

Excellent Groove Machine

This is an excellent groove machine, easy to sketch up your ideas. The sound quality is pretty good!

Pros :

Easy workflow

Quality sounds

Portable

Cons:

Not many things to say here.

Just bare in mind that sound design is quite limited on this machine

Nice 'All-in-one' Drum machine

Bought this as a way of having every Roland Drum Machines in one. For that purpose it was great. Easy to tempo-sync to any DAW which really did it for me workflow wise and creatively speaking (Very quick to get down a basic beat without having to find samples and so on. Very compact in size and very easy to handle even though you can end up menu diving quite a lot. BUT nothing annoying really.

As far as other uses than a drum machine I didn't really see the purpose of this machine. IMO its not suited for making much else than drum patterns (which it does well)

I sold mine shortly after, when realising I'm more of a one-trick-pony kinda guy. The TR-08 for example suits me better.

But its a very nice machine I would defo recommend it to anyone looking for an addition to their studio setup.

This is an amazing little machine, I love it. All the features of the TR8S packed into this powerful unit. Highly versatile and capable.
