It's ok

It's bland and brittle. Imagine eating Mexican food made by folks who have only ever seen photos of Mexican food. This is like that.

The output is noisier than an analog drum machine. If this had individual analog outs I would like it a little better. I should sell it. I like the sequencer.

I take it you like the sound of the RD-8 much better?

mikefiction|770

I like the sound of the RD-8 a lot better. I like the workflow of the TR-08 better, though I am getting used to the RD-8. I did just think about if I could use the TR-08 as the sequencer for the RD-8, I should try that.

So I hooked up the TR-08 as the sequencer for the RD-8 via midi and it works great. So now I have the original 808 workflow back that I missed along with super close to 808 sound.

So I should revise my review, the TR-08 is a great 808 style drum sequencer.

if TR-08 didn't meet your expectations, no harm in giving it an honest review. There are enough breathless 4 and 5 star reviews on Equipboard already. Glad you're feeling the sequencer at least. cheers!
