I created an empty backup for the Roland TR-8S.
All 128 kits are preloaded with an ACB TR-909 kit, and each pattern is assigned to the corresponding kit. So Pattern 1 is assigned to Kit 1, Pattern 2 is assigned to Kit 2, and so on. Delay and reverb sends have been set to zero for each instrument.

I don’t own one yet, but am tempted to try one after seeing this latest update. Coming from Elektron it was the lack of probability that was putting me off. Now I have no excuse 😂
Thinking of going for the TR-6S for the size and battery power, but not sure whether only having 6 tracks would be enough as that annoyed me on the Model Cycles. I always found I need just one more track! Any owners of the TR-6S here? How do you find the track limitation?-

I find 6-tracks to be a bit limiting on a drum machine. Unless you really need battery power then I’d go for the TR-8S!

I own the original Phoscyon, but always preferred the sound of AudioRealism’s ABL3, not that I use VST instruments much these days as I’m mostly DAWless. Apparently D16 have updated the sound engine in Phoscyon 2, but still not sure I’d upgrade. It does have more parameters than ABL3 though, more like a devilfish emulation.

I demo’d their VST’s a couple of years ago but find the GUI’s to be too small to be usable on a Retina display. They might have improved it with the update but I already own ABL3 (and several hardware 303 synths!) so will probably give it a miss.

Wow, great update! I honestly thought Roland were done with the TR-8S. Opening up the FM modelling to access more parameters was definitely on my wish list. The sub-step probability and master probability looks really good. I don’t think the Elektron machines can do that?
