Roland TR-8 Rhythm Performer drum machine
Firstly shopping with Bax-Shop was a pleasure. Cheapest price on the net at the time, speedy delivery with a solid courier, profound philosophical quotes on the box... everything a buyer could ask for.
Now the TR-8 isn't all the drum machine I'll ever need or want. It is however an immediately accessible instrument that brings 30 years of classic drum sounds at a good price and a sound quality that beats any purely software emulation.
The ACB tech really helps breathe life into the sounds and so beats using sample packs, plus the immediacy of the hands on control is just a winner.
The effects are usable, as so is the scatter effect, which surprised me as usually that kind of tool is less than useful, and being able to sequencer them is all the more techno-y fun.
If you hanker for classic Roland drum sounds with hands on control and a sound quality to rival the original boxes then look no further.
Also, its massive fun :D
