  • Just thought I'd share my insight on how to program the classic drum beat on Roland's TR-8. Originally done on the CR-78.
    Basically, it's a 2 Bar Drum pattern using the default 808 kit from the TR-8
    Kick, High Tom, CH, OH,
    95 BPM Standard 4/4 Time Signature
    ______________________________________________
    “In The Air Tonight” was the first single to be released from Phil Collins’ album "Face Value", released in 1981.

    everyone here is right, Phil used a CR-78 to write the album in his house. Genesis were on tour through 1977 - 78 and while in Japan they went to the Roland factory and apparently were given the first 3 CR-78's off the production line. Collins didn't really want one, he was a drummer, come on!! a drum machine!!. Anyway, the tour finished after a long time, came home, wife had left him, taken the two kids. empty house, looked at the drum machine, plugged it in, wrote "in the Air tonight" the rest as they say, is history. Improvised all the lyrics. One interesting fact about that period, he did have one house mate from time to time, so he didn't write that album completely alone. One John Martyn was a mate and would call round to keep him company, and listen to the material. Oh and they might have popped down the village pub to consider the merits of alcohol over tea in the recording process, (only occasionally of course) for a few loosener's :-)

      it's a bad demo sorry
      too many problems and snare-kicks (not enough kicks, ) the velocity etc. too much problems to sound like the original

    • @theredshirts7245

      I thought the drum machine was imposed by the producer because his original version was just the ambient synth and the producer felt it was too weird for radio. Maybe I heard wrong. However it was done…it was an excellent choice. One of my favorite songs.

    Pattern A also has a quiet kick on the second beat (button 5).

    I think he knows it's originally a Roland CR78, but he just says he uses the 808 kit.

    @AlainHubert Před 7 lety +1

    On the original, as mentioned elsewhere in the comments, it was done with a CR78 and there wasn't any reverb, but rather a short delay on everything. Moreover, the hi-hat of the TR-8 doesn't sound anything like the one on the TR-808, or CR78. Too smooth sounding, and not enough "byte". But thanks anyway.

      I think he knows it's originally a Roland CR78, but he just says he uses the 808 kit.

    • @JimijaymesProductions
      @JimijaymesProductions Před 5 lety +1

      Fail! There is no Roland cr78 on the tr8 or any other modern drum machine unless you use samples. Most of us can't find kind afford a cr78 although I'd personally if I needed this sound record the midi and use samples but still your missing the point of this tutorial.

    • @frankb2995
      @frankb2995 Před 5 lety +3

      I think you are both missing the point. The title says that he’s programming a TR-8, and he shows it in a way that is helpful for those who use a sequencer with an 4 bar phrase. I’m going to use whichever sample set (I have two CR-78 samples) sounds the most like the record, and I’ll probably try an 808. All will get overdriven anyway. His video encompasses what you need to program it on a TR-8. So success! Not fail.

      But for now the TR-8 also has a 707 & 909 kit & bigger better control knobs

    • @johnbaudhuin7350
      @johnbaudhuin7350 Před 7 lety

      Yeah nobody. Sorry but you can't even tune all the drums on the tr-08 let alone play it as an instrument in nearly the same capacity. the tr-08 is for 808 nutters like myself, it's not a replacement for tr-8

    You waffle thru quite a bit of it but then when it comes to the most complex part of the bass beats and accents at the end, you zip thru it at 60mph. We're not all using a TR-8 to program it
