Sick! Will def look into it. Need to figure out how to get it synced into Live... Been having issues with Live recognizing it when I have it plugged in via USB. I didn't get too far into the troubleshooting yet since I only had like an hour of play time with it this weekend.

edit/ prob need to install the driver first lmao.. didn't think about that

Damn son. So Jelly

I needed it, been forever since I got a new toy lol

Jesus I just looked and it's $95 dollars to get those kits?? Fuck lol

yeah, thats why i never got the expansion. But the tr-8 is so much more of a playable instrument than the other drum machines out there. still loads of fun.

i'll probably end up biting soon enough lol

i was mainly after the 909 aspect of it. really been loading up all my new tracks with 909 sounds and i was tired of using samples. really wanted control over my drums so this is perfect

Yeah, the 909 sounds are pretty legit. The hats are pretty good, and i actually enjoyed the choke functions on the hats with the swing thrown to like 30-50%. Throw it into a nice compressor like an avalon or even a DBX 160 and you can the Tr-8 to sound really f'n good.

yeah, the 7x7 stuff isn't cheap, but you get another kick on your tracks as well when you do that, if I remember correctly.

For live, to use the USB and record each track individually, there are some annoyances. One, it's 96k, can't be less. Two, you have to use the TR-8 as the soundcard. (may be able to use an aggregate device on Macs, not sure - I'm a PC guy) So essentially, you have to have your monitors hooked up to the TR-8, not your interface, or use headphones in the TR-8.

Don't forget about the sidechain feature either - plug some of your synths into that bad boy.

Yeah I use PC currently as well... But I've been reading about the whole soundcard thing and it seems like it's a hassle.

I got to the point where I just record the sounds individually. I'm lazy. You could also send a group of sounds to a different output to record multiple things at once if your interface has 4 inputs. (kick to one output, snare/clap to another, hats/cymbals to a 3rd, toms/rimshots, etc. to the last)
