Item Description

With the T-8 Beat Machine, you have a complete rhythm factory in a miniature format, allowing you to create captivating tracks in seconds. It is equipped with the legendary TR drums and the distinctive bass of the TB-303. Create spontaneous acid jams in the intuitive 16-step sequencer, tweak sounds, and craft beats with the integrated tools that inspire your ideas and bring back the joy of flow. This ultra-portable rhythm and bass instrument offers original Roland sounds. It features six rhythm tracks with sounds from the legendary TR-808, TR-909, and TR-606 drum machines. The bass track utilizes sawtooth and square waveforms with hands-on control from the TB-303 Bass Line. The Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology reproduces the sound and behavior of Roland vintage instruments down to the smallest detail. The classic TR-REC drum sequencer provides 64 user patterns and up to 32 steps per pattern. Modern rhythm programming includes portability, sub-step, last-step, and velocity. Real-time recording and powerful performance features such as step-loop, mute, fill, reload, and pattern-shift are also included. Optimize sounds with delay, reverb, overdrive, and sidechain compression. The extensive connections include audio, MIDI, sync I/O, and AIRA Link. The USB-C audio/MIDI interface can be used without driver installation. The lithium-ion battery allows for up to 4.5 hours of mobile operation per charge. The robust housing construction is equipped with high-quality rubberized pads. Connect additional AIRA Compact instruments and traditional MIDI devices via the optional BOSS TRS MIDI cables.
