New idea for drum machines, now and in future
New idea for drum machines, now and in future
We had an idea for Roland for the TR8s and TR6s which should keep 'em selling for a very long time. It's a simple idea of adding Scenes, 128 to each preset. Each Scene would save which variations were active, which instruments were muted, how many times the whole Scene plays, and whether it moves to the next Scene or stops after playing. It only needs to store those 4 things. Both TR8s and TR6s would then effectively have a Song Mode per preset, which you could turn on or off, and chain presets together in epic, long soundtracks. We think it'd be quite easy to do in firmware, and would give both machines a whole new boost.
