Roland TR-6S Rhythm Performer | Compacte Drummachine met Zes Tracks Authentieke TR Sounds inclusief TR-808, CR-78 & Meer | Grote Preset Sample-Bibiliotheek | Aanpasbare FM Sound Engine

It's a pretty straight forward drum machine, but tutorials will help you get more out of it. It's not a terribly difficult piece of hardware.

Excellente groovebox , super format pour voyager

Great piece of kit. Loving the authentic (ACB) 808 and 909 sounds!

Sono un fan della vecchia ora della Roland, ma devo dire che ultimamente, l'esorbitante produzione di mini giocattoli da parte della storica casa giapponese, mi stava rendendo indifferente ai loro prodotti. Fino a che non ho visto questa drum machine: prezzo competitivo, piccola ma usabile e con connessioni normali. E invece che proporre pezzetti di emulazione uno scatolino alla volta, contiene tutte le emulazioni di drum machine ACB, un engine FM e samples. L'equivalente del system 1 ma per le batterie e con tutto già incluso. Suona potente se paragonata ai vst simil 909 etc., si presta a improvvisazioni live ed è veloce da modificare. Unici difetti: menu diving da hardware anni 90 con lcd, ma ci fa l'abitudine ed è meglio di altri sistemi che usavo all'epoca, e scordatevi l'audio usb se avete Windows; fidatevi, usate le uscite jack. Comprato usato da Amazon Wharehouse in condizioni perfette e i 6 mesi di Cloud Roland gratis ancora non utilizzati. Consiglio di registrarsi per scaricare l'ottimo editor, ulteriori samples e drum kits, ben 46, a cui basta cambiare l'estensione da t8p a t6p e potrete caricarli tramite la card sd sulla tr-6s (anche se sarebbero per la sua sorella maggiore, funzionano lo stesso, semplicemente nei pattern ci saranno i primi 6 canali piuttosto che tutti gli 11 della tr-8s).

I now have to add an amendment to the below review from Jan 2021. I was made aware that Roland had released an editor for the TR6S. I purchased another via AWD during the speciial offer 20% extra discount week. A great deal. Straight away I updated the firmare to the latest version.For some reason the unit just sounded even better. Navigation is good but if you want to get in under the hood then workflow can slow.This is where the editor comes in. OMG! a dramatic increase in creative speed, everything at your fingertips. It's an absolute breeze to edit and explore now and Roland have done an excellent job.I recommend you check out the few Youtube vids which demonstrate just how good it is.6 outputs plus the stereo out via USB. So you can have all your drum sounds on seperate tracks into your DAW plus assign certain sounds through the stereo out and apply the TR6S internal FX...so 8 itracks altogether. Something I missed on first use.In a recording set up this thing is now pretty perfect no need for the big brother TR8S (for me at least). Editing everything is quick and clear.Loading your own samples is still done via SD card. It would be great if Roland made this possible via the editor over USB....fingers crossed for the next update.All the Classic Roland TR drum machine sounds are here, with the ability to manipulate everything to create you own kits/sounds...then you have the FM engine to take things even further...plus you can load your own samples. So ACB sounds, FM synths and samples all in one small unit. Amazing!I highly recommend this unit to every electro bro home studio owners out there. Even if you want to use it just for a basic live setup it's still excellent but the editor now takes this thing to the next level.I'll leave my old review below in which I gave it 3 stars. I now give it 5 stars and eat my words.It's so good to see a large company like Roland constantly update, innovate and support it's products...adding new life to some.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------It has the same sound set as it's big brother the TR8-S. Although you can't layer 4 sounds at once when creating or editing your own custom drums (maybe not an issue if you're recording or using samples). The sounds and some of the presets are huge and show off nicely what this tiny thing can do.Unfortunetly it's when it comes to editing or creating anything more than basic that is become tiresome. Lots of menu diving that slows the flow. I didn't even bother to try loading samples as I was bored and frustrated after a few minutes.Stereo audio output but 6 serperate outs & the mix via USB which is a nice touch. Roland really have crammed it all in. Everything sound wise is top notch including the effects but it just didn't funk me up!If all you want is a access to bd, sn, hh presets (that are huge) and the ability for very basic tweaking, then I don't think there is currently anything better for you. If however you want more immediacy and ease of full control then I would save a few more pennies and go for it's big bro.I don't think it will be long before these drop dramatically in price or the 2nd hand market is awash with them. So maybe wait for a bargain.I got mine via warehousedeals advertised as 'very good' condition...it wasn't, it was an absolute wreck, so be careful if using AWH...I sent it back without hesitation but I would've even if it were brand new.
