The Roland TR-8S is a drum machine and rhythm performer that recreates the classic TR-808, TR-909 and TR-707 sounds alongside sample playback. It has 11 dedicated drum tracks plus an assignable track, each with its own level and tune controls, and a step sequencer with 16 velocity-sensitive pads. It suits producers and live performers who want hands-on drum programming without a computer. Compared with the TR-8 it replaces, it adds sample import, per-track effects and kit memory, which makes it more flexible than the original and closer in spirit to Elektron's drum machines while staying simpler to use.
