Roland TR-8S MEGA TECHNO TUTORIAL
808's 909's 707's and more. In this video I'll walk you through my process start to finish on how to create a Techno beat on TR-8s. I include all of my best tricks and the entire workflow. 3 years on this instrument and this video distills it all down. When you are done you will have a HUGE amount of Roland TR-8s capability.
The Objective- to write a Techno beat that can be performed for a lot of variation. Where all the elements work together in any combination. Where you can play it to multiple energy levels. And sound design tips and examples to get the most out of combos and features on the unit. The TR-8s features heavily in everything I do.
0:00 Introduction Beats
5:08 How to start setting up your sounds, including the philosophy of setting up the board.
8:31 Adding reverb, other FX
13:40 Snare basics
16:26 Accents
18:50 back to Kicks, with FX "Adjust your kick until your head nods" - Bleeptemple
36:53 Automation basics. Make it interesting with movement. Try to make it groove as much as possible with the fewest possible elements. Create a focal point.
41:20 Instrument FX
49:10 The Toms section in techno. Nail the toms and your beat will slam.
1:03.50 Don't ignore acoustic samples in techno.
1:08:31 Variations with the kick pattern. Using the TR-8S variations strategically
1:18:34 Using the external input to process another drum machine, including side-chain walk through. FEATURING Erica Synths LXR-02

DB-01 Techno Machine, 303 Champion
zhlédnutí 17KPřed 2 lety
The Erica Synth DB-01 is a contemporary rethink of the classic 303. In this video I’ll show you how to use it from basic functions to advanced tricks. It’s good for acid basslines, arpeggios, special fx and even leads. It sounds awesome with gorgeous oscillators, an incredible filter, and deep integration between the synth and the on board sequencer, which has many smart tricks up it’s sleeve. ...

Bass Station 2 by Novation / 7 Reasons why it still rocks in 2021
zhlédnutí 18KPřed 2 lety
The Novation Bass Station 2 is a fully featured monosynth. It’s a bit old! 8 years on now, so not vintage, but from right at the beginning of the current analog revival. So how well does it hold up in 2021? Quite well actually. A carefully selected set of classic features, and some very clever forward thinking midi implementations, meet up with some very clever recent updates. Join the GSG disc...
Top 7 Reasons Why Arturia Drumbrute Impact Rules
zhlédnutí 39KPřed 2 lety
DBI SAMPLES! app.gumroad.com/products/IIZfl The Drumbrute Impact is an amazing drum machine, and it features a kick that cannot be beat! Yes, the beat in this video smashes. I'm going to create a beat, then walk through and show how to find all the coolest shit this inexpensive Drum Machine has to offer. For those who work in the box or with samplers, I've sampled off the Drumbrute Impact here....
Strymon Nightsky: how to sequence, step sequence, use all the cool features.
zhlédnutí 4,6KPřed 2 lety
In this one I pair up the Nightsky with the Erica Synths LXR-02 to review how to pull off the coolest shit on the Nightsky. It’s a crazy deep pedal with synth-like qualities, but to make it do what you want it to do, you have to be able to set it up right and know how to trigger the best features. It’s not totally apparent from the manual and I couldn’t find many good walkthroughs so here it is.
When this guy says “yeeeah” It makes me cringe so hard my neck hurts
Apologies. As a kid I listened to a lot of Rob Zombie. I don't even know I'm doing it.
What sample kit are you using on czcams.com/video/qpAE85uXWno/video.html? 🙏 Great tutorial thanks a lot!
Extremely juiced beats - seweet!
Man how your drums have been made gosh they sound dope
I don’t like Arturia
OMG this video is perfect, just getting started with the tr 8s
Just ordered this one. It's already on its way ETA this afterboon. Was this the piece I was missing? :-p. Great explanation and I love the jam. Thank you! Much <3 from Belgium.
How do I get the arpeggiator to play back exactly what I play?
I love the groove, the best groove I ever heard with toms.. I love how you can tune the drums in realtime.. you can also trigger other drums thru midi so thats crazy.. i just ordered it -on its way 🎉🎉🎉
Which one should I get first drum brute or tr8s….???
what's the machine to the left
This is all amazing, but why doesn’t anyone demonstrate straight forward, no-nonsense rave with this thing? Not showing off what you can do with it feature wise, but demonstrating its practical musicality to people loving melody?
Its arturia, everything they make is quality from the build to the sound. Now with the polybrute 12 theyve made the best synthesizer of the modern age. If only there wasnt a damn politician created affordability crisis.
Yes, the drumbrute is a monster drum machine too
TB-3 sounds better
ACB does not sound like the Zencore
Thanks Dan - this is a great showcase and helped me a lot. I have one coming in tomorrow so excited to get my hands on it, and was happy to find such a good video on it/seeing it in action here.
The drum sound is coming from the bass line as well? Or do you have a digitakt off to the side?
That progression in the beginning 🤌🏻🤘🏻
This video is amazing.
Whats handling the drums here?
ts8 sounds like a beast the deep tone is massive,perfect for club system
Wow, sounds just like every other drum machine of the last 40 years!
Wonderful! Thank you. I have just started with the TR-8S, so might take me a few more minutes to absorb it al. 🙂
Great vid thanks
Need some help….thanks to a very understanding wife and Santa- we have a TR8s! However have an issue with sound from channels- certain channels- BD, SD etc are really quiet- barely hear them. Only way to change is going into the Shift/ Inst mode and go to PAN and adjust up- can hear then, but as soon as you change pattern- no sound again……. I am bewildered!!
Is it new from the factory? If so exchange it for a different unit. If you bought used or somehow can’t get you money back then try to do a factory reset. It sounds broken.
It’s really odd! You have to add Gain and move away from PAN centre on each channel every time you change pattern?? Looking to get it replaced I think
wow que mega techo tan brutal!!! ironia.
Love the hats on the impact but for me the snare is weak. I run mine with a TR-06 for snare & BD. The bass drum on the impact has no click on it. I don’t like that much. Impact is great overall though. The sequencer is superb.
I keep coming back to this video, it's exactly the kind of explanation I can follow and understand. Thank you.
Awesome, thanks a lot for posting. I took a lot from this.
Excellent video thank you man 😢😂🎉❤
Best bass synth out there.
Finally a great in depth how to video. Had this synth for a year and you just taught me how to actually use it. Thank you 🙂
Every now and then I stumble upon a video on this and think about getting it. Then I hear the hats and I remember why I never did. Horrible 😵💫
125BPM is not enought!! but nice video, thanks you
Do all the fx and various other adjustments to each sound get carried through the individual outs (eg to a DAW) or are they only on the master outs?
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial :) Your workflow commentary offers a glimpse into your thinking and is very insightful. I am wanting to add more interesting elements for live performance so this is perfect. So fun!
Really good walk-through. The 8S seems very useful for get away from all the mouse based stuff, covering the essential percussive sounds, arranging and mixing them. The menu diving seems a bit tedious though. Does it annoy you or is it fine once you get used to it?
14:49 dude that's so fun I've had to cut back to keep myself from developing a cliché or something lol that shit's dangerously heavy and fuckin wiiiiide. Plus, boy howdy do those analog circuits really start to sing when you've been jamming for like 15 or 20 or 30 minutes and she gets nice and limbered up and running! Or am I crazy?
Two years on, is the drumbrute impact still in your employ? I'd love, love, love, love, love to be fortunate enough to see you further explore this machine! Thanks for the video, yours was one that helped me seal the deal and pull the trigger on it. I'm soooo glad I did. The sound palette so perfectly rides several niches that are an absolute blast to jam and listen and dance and phonk too!
To me this DB is priced to high compared to a volca drum and too low compared to a model cycles and doesn’t sound as nice as either of them 😂
I don't think you switched the limiter on and off. It had a zero in both.
Yo At 2 mins 20 you press the auto fill trigger , what is it set on ? And how can I do/make that? 🙏🙏
I don’t remember which one but the depth is like 4 or 5. There’s only 10 so give them all a try.
@@DankLiveAF Oh ok thanks I shall have a look.🔊
I bought mine three weeks ago. Very instructive! Thank you!
Had it. Sold it. Regret it (a little) I really liked the sequencer, not only is it intuitive and easy to use, but it has just the right amount of versatility and possibilities to create more complex patterns, but without getting lost. The interface is direct. Everything is right there, or at least accessible via a shift function. Sound-wise, it's distinctly analog. I think it has it's own sound. It doesn't fit all genres, but it doesn't pretend to be a universal drum machine. I think the toms are a bit weak, and I wish they had a different cowbell. Separate outs for every sound would have been cool, but you get four outs plus main out and that is not bad at this pricepoint. The sounds get old though. An 808 or 909 have classic sounds that still sound great to this day. The Drumbrute impact sounds lack that something, that will make you love them forever. I have lots of respect for Arturia trying to create their own thing instead of trying to copy the classics, but I just don't think they suceeded in making great analog drum sounds. It is absolutely possible to create an uniquely great sounding, modern, analog drum machine, MFB Tanzbär is the best example i can think of. DBi works as a midi controller, paired with som drum module or whatever sample player or DAW(I ran an old Boss dr-550 to add som old school drum samples), but since all control knobs are completely analog, they don't send any midi data. This is fair, since it's an analog drum machine, but it will drive you insane. You instictively try to adjust the sound, but nothing happens and you go: "of course, the knobs don't do anything", but then you try to do it again anyway, so you facepalm and then you do it again. Maybe this is just me, but I just couldn't get in to using it this way. It feels really sturdy and solid. I would not hesitate to throw it in a backpack. The guy who bought my Drumbrute impact got a real bargain and if one shows up at that same price, I might buy it again.
Amazing, thank you !
So for my understanding this is a Allrounder and maybe best for starters / newbies?
It’s got a unique enough character that even if you are an advanced practitioner you would still likely think it’s awesome. It’s low price tag and ease of use make it a winner for starters too. I would not call it an allrounder though, because the only box it checks is “analog drum synth”. It doesn’t have other modes, no digital, limited fm, no samples etc. the Tr8s is a better allrounder.
As a beginner in this kind of creating music I like what you're doing, but I can hardly keep up in understanding how you're doing it.
Roland Academy has all you need to know
I still can't decide which one to get - this, TR-8S or RD-9. However I wanted to ask you - why is the tempo constantly changing between 119 and 120? I can't find an explanation for this.
Midi is a 40+ year old standard. It’s not that tight.
Get volca drum man and save some money
@@PAAmsterdam I already bought a Digitakt in the end lol
shit man. you convinced me. this does exactly what i need
This is really good. It's hard as someone totally new to this stuff, to get your head around it. Plus, I bet so many give up during the process. Helping people make great noises with this machine, it really helps maintain the interest. 'All these sound lame' 🤣 that was funny. Thanks for sharing
