Roland TR-8S Masterclass

This video captures a Roland TR-8S drum machine masterclass, presented by Roland’s Peter Brown at the 2019 Brooklyn Synth Expo. In the video, Brown goes beyond traditional 808/909 style programming and digs into some of the more advanced capabilities of the TR-8S, including using custom samples, modulation sequencing, effects sequencing and polyrhythms.
