Roland’s Drum Machine Dynasty Gets a Boost: TR-8S and TR-6S Firmware Updates Deliver Sonic Marvels

Roland's Latest Firmware Upgrades Transform TR-8S and TR-6S into Musical Powerhouses, Adding CR-78 Magic and Chromatic Basslines

 

The other game-changing addition is the chromatic TR-808 mode for crafting basslines. While the ability to tune drum hits and samples existed previously, it was far from a seamless process. Now, with this chromatic mode, the TR-8S and TR-6S break free from the confines of percussion, offering an effortlessly musical experience. This feature opens up a world of possibilities, especially for genres like hip-hop, where the TR-808 bass is a cornerstone for both drum grooves and melodic elements.
