is it possible to do a lock, like with the maschine, where you lock it and then you go wild with effects and automation, and then when you push the lock button again it resets back to when you locked it,
Looks good. I have a Midi Fighter Twister (which I still think is the best encoder/button midi controller out there) so not something that I need but still looks like a good unit.
I’m on DistroKid it’s…Class Of 2004-Topic🎶‼️
😏
@@LiamKillen I did 3 beats with my mc-101 the others are from my beat dude Jaden @Prod.byFreakuency he’s good with FL Studio alright take it easy Killen
Please how in the hell I set the faders to 0dbs at the TOP without loosing the length between 0 and 2 dbs? I can't believe....
This one is nice. The last video it was your OCD air blower that gave the best sound of all 😮
I mean if it’s funny it’s funny lol
@@LiamKillenYou got a sense of humour. The last time I ribbed you on something your reply was also very apt. I bought the TR8S from watching your videos. Nicely done😊
cool video - nice exploration
I know this is old, but have you tried a deluge?
Ps: I had an Octatrack. Mine was not reliable. It even shut off mid performance once
In your experience (talking to everybody here), from a live performance prospective would you go with a Digitakt or a tr8s? Talking modifying petterns on the fly and reallt play the drum machine
"controlling" the Octatrack lol ❤ it's a "beauty and the beast"
My mate reckons. That his dog 🐶 can actually run faster than anyone so , their. Yea. Beat that
I’ve always known these are great but I’ve always avoided them due to how plastic they are. (Kind of a build snob) However nowadays I think they’re the best drum machine on the market in terms of versatility and live use and price. I have a TR6s atm but will definitely be adding the 8s soon.
Nice review! I got mine last night and Im having a blast!
Sounds nothing like a CR78 to me. You'd be better off just using a sample pack TBH.
I think those front panels online with the short cuts on are v good. A tad pricey tho . I’ve recently got me an original 606 now to . /
am i nuts? trying to use this with an external sequencer and midi channel 10 will only let you play one drum??? you cant externally sequence the other drum sounds?
Man, I could never give away my po33, it's just so fun to use and throw in my bag if I'm going on a hike or something
People say they don’t want to use a computer because they use one else where blah blah, I think the real reason they want some analog behemoth or a cool groove box is because they look cool on the table. It’s harder to imagine yourself as a super fly musician in front of the laptop. This is the only reason to not use a computer, otherwise computers do almost everything better, cheaper and easier. It just doesn’t look as esoteric on the table.
trying to figure out the B channel as an extra aux channel. How do this? love the videos & the model 1
Dope! 🙌🏾
Many thanks from The Hague in The Netherlands. Im always learning something from your videos. Love when you dig into Techno :)
Thank you! I’m so down with techno these days- lots more to come
@@LiamKillen Looking forward to it!
All-in-one isn't really accurate, he has a bunch of modular 😅.
The majority of the video is focused on the 8s but yeah towards the end he explains how he uses his modular set up for FX sends! 😊
This is so rad!
Thx for watching!! 😊
@@LiamKillen I really appreciate your channel! I’m signing up for your patreon on Thursday. I’ve been jamming with the MC 707 and Novation Peak a lot, love it.
How does this connect to the interface? Using dsub out?
Exactly! 😊
Excellent video and interview 👍 love how he's using the TR8s here.
I know right!? He’s so unique with it
Yes! This thing has demolished the M8 for me and it’s come from working with it as a multitrack recorder rather than a traditional tracker sample sequencer...soooooo much fun
Interesting - you're like the first person who's mentioned this and i'm glad to hear it ! :-) By the way, if you're not already a member and you're a forum person - check out my Discord ! We talk about electronic music and gear all day ! Here's an invite: discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
@@LiamKillen probably because I'm the only one stupid enough to attempt it ;)
Does it come with any stock acoustic pianos and orchestral instruments such as violins, horns, and saxophones?
It's more electronic sounding stuff but those aren't hard to find free / super affordable on the interwebz!
@@LiamKillen Thanks
Dope faceplate is that for sale anywhere ?
Style Flip ! Or MPC Stuff - any other gear / tech questions - you might be interested in checking out the Discord community ! :-) discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
Syntakt (drums and mono analogue basses, overdrive in the fx block, lfos on predelay of reverb and on delay time) + Digitone (polysynths/ pads/ chimes, chorus, etc) for me! I also use a Keystep sync’d to Syntakt’s clock in order to use the arp on the Syntakt as it doesn’t have one.
Sounds like you got it all covered then !! By the way, you sound like someone who'd be interested in my Discord community! Here's a link :-) discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
@@LiamKillen Great! Thanks for an invite!
chop=Random
yea boi -
Il get one tomorrow. Cant wait. It was cool to see that he blowed your mind a couple of times. When you discovered some new stuf. Awesome. Keep up the good stuff ..
How much for the Drumlogue?
It’s gone lol
@@LiamKillen aw. What was it, like $600? It reminds me a bit of Blast Beats. It takes a certain kind of person to understand this module.
I sold my digitakt and bought a TR8s, love it 😊 (had Machinedrum and Monomachine too, sold them and bought a Nord Modular G2 and G2X)
Two different beasts !! PS if you'd like to tell us all how much you love the 8S - hit up my Discord lol - here's an invite: discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
Lost me, shortly after pressing write and selecting some sounds. I think you may have pressed play shortly after. Im guessing the happy coments either weren't complete beginner's or read between the lines. Do you have a beginner beginner video😄
If you need extra help my Discord community might be helpful to you for PO stuff ! Here's an invite: discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
I love the tr8s. Bit of a bummer its memory is so small but hopefully there will be more in a tr8s Mk2 in the future
I’m hoping the same thing!
MPC Pad Loop function Main page Track 01>Transpose set to 1. Program 001>Warp samples> Global tab>note on. Samples tab>pad loop on. For different drum loops, include them in the same mute group to alternate back and forth
thx my guy
Is he just using the TR8? What about all those other modular stuff up there connected to it?
If you watch the whole video you’ll see! There’s also an extended version over on my Patreon
Please take that loud noisy machine out of your intro. Or filter it or something.
Hahahahahahaha inc
So glad I own one. Just checked the secondhand price and it’s went a bit nuts
yyyyup - a little too nuts if you ask me and I bet this video isn't helping either lol
What a dream setup! I’m using the 707, 8S, and 404mkii and Vic is giving me much to think about. Thanks for running such a great channel, Liam.
Thx jumbo! Appreciate you watching !
Dude i find you lean up the bet and are it clinical rather than human and fragile it quantised to being boring please leae some aviation in loudness of parts softness ect i know you dig what the flava is,but keep it real dude the man is a chef left him make mistakes that show his true creative flow
My guy was rippin wutchu sayin cuz
Great collab video, thank you. Love these. TR8S is so good, I run mine into the external inputs on my Syntakt and route it to Syntakt FX track for a bit of drive but also to take advantage of the Syntakt FX track for pumping etc.
Oh yeah I bet that pumps! Thx for watching! 😊
Nothing beats a DAW, and that s it
Depends what your goal is- for performance I think hybrid is the way!
@@LiamKillen Hi....I meant for recording and manipulating accurately the stuff. For studio work, of course. Otherwise I like everything analogue and computer free. Computers hinder our creativity :)
Super deep feature. You're really finding your way around this thing. Thanks for the in depth walk-through.
It's my pleasure - yeah i'm using it like ALL the time still. PS you might be down for my Discord community ! Here's an invite: discord.gg/xj8J2xJuBP
Cool stuff! I'm doing a live gig in a week with the TR-8S and modular. IMO, it's the perfect combo and this video highlights only a few possibilities. Besides being an excellent drum machine (so I can leave my eurorack drum modules at home), it can be an effect box for modular, adding delay, reverb, (sidechain) compression (or other master FX), it can be a multitrack step sequencer (using the individual outputs + trigger output), I've even used it as a CV/melodic sequencer (using CC outputs from CTRL-knobs in combination with a MIDI to CV module and a sequential switch). Also, I can record my entire performance with it, because it's an audio interface. I love it.
Yet another person using that combo- and with good reason!
So, what is processed by the modular ? The stereo output of the TR8s using the send-return of the mixer ?
I believe so but if you want a more detailed answer hit up Vic on his socials
air duster on point ❤ I get it OCD...I got the same one
That and also otherwise people online will complain that the gear is dusty lol
geat video! I'm finding it very inspiring to create some music...thank you
Love hearing this - and it's a pleasure. Thanks for being here :-)
