More limited than Roland let on

Arcadia 23.05.2022

Be warned - while the marketing copy says you "get sounds from the TR-606/808/909" the reality is you get:

1 909 kick
1 808 snare
2 808 toms
1 808 clap
1 606 OH
1 606 CH
1 Noise not from any previous Roland machines

So you can't change the kick sound from 909 to 808, or the hats from 606 to 909, etc. I find this misleading and returned the product.

Is it well-made? Yes. Is it fun? Yes. Does it sound good? Yes, but it's also extremely limited in terms of drum sounds - so unless you're good with the selection offered don't buy.

32 steps drum sequencer, with tweakable sounds for each 6 sounds , very intuitive and simple to use. You can ratchet every sounds, and sidechain possibilities make it really fun. Bass is really awesome and can go really aciiiiid, that's lovely.

Petit mais ... petit

BOCK_BOK 05.02.2023

Le T-8 sonne vraiment bien. On y retrouve les ingrédients indispensables dans une version de poche. Grâce à sa batterie et son faible encombrement vous pouvez l'amèner partout.
Cependant son gabarit mini en fait également son défaut.
Les potards sont vraiment difficiles à manier surtout si vous avez de grandes mains. Ils sont trop rapprochés les uns des autres et c'est gênant pour son utilisation. De plus j'aurais plus vu la prise casque sur l'avant ou l'arrière car là où elle est située gêne aussi le cutoff de la basse type TB-303
Astuce : j'ai acheté un adaptateur audio coudé pour diriger le cable audio vers l'arrière.
Sinon à part cela c'est une très bonne machine.

Very easy to use and the bass line is very usefull in this drum-machine.
I use this one with the J-6 synth chords, the vocal effects E-4 and the TR 6-S all togheter trough the mix in -out and midi in-out, very easy to do the connections.Lot's of fun playing all of them togheter.
