Roland TR-08 Rhythm Composer

The Roland TR-08 Rhythm Composer is a modern recreation of the iconic TR-808, delivering authentic analog modeling, deep sequencing capabilities, and modern connectivity. Using Roland’s advanced ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) technology, it precisely replicates the booming bass, crisp snares, and sizzling hi-hats that made the TR-808 a legend in hip-hop, electronic, and pop music.

Despite its compact design, the TR-08 retains the classic step-sequencer layout, allowing users to create grooves with real-time recording, sub-steps, and nuanced control over each sound. It features enhanced control over tuning, decay, gain, and panning, offering deeper sound customization than the original. Built-in compression and effects allow further sonic shaping, while USB and MIDI connectivity ensure seamless DAW and hardware integration.

Perfect for producers, live performers, and beatmakers, the TR-08 captures the essence of the original TR-808 in a modern, portable package. Whether crafting classic 808 beats or futuristic rhythms, this drum machine is an essential tool for any music creator.
