SUB RESTS are SUB STEPS with intervals of silence.
FEATURES:
1) With Sub Rest 1/3 it is possible to write triplets on the 16th scale.
2) With Sub Rest 1/2 you can write with a resolution of 32nd while remaining in the 16th scale.

SUGGESTIONS:
1) An idea to activate and deactivate the Sub Rest mode with the key combination [UTILITY] + [SUB].
2) It will be helpful to assign different pad colors between Sub Step and Sub Rest for easier sequencing.
3) Being able to see on the screen which Sub Step and Sub Rest have been written to the pad.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The TR-8S is a beautiful drum machine but unfortunately does not have the ability to sequence triplets on the 16h scale. I own a TR-8S and an MC-101. I thought maybe Roland has deliberately limited this function to the MC series only, with which in some way you can write triplets with Note Start or with Note Repeat (only on MC-707). Personally I think a DRUM MACHINE like the TR8-S should be more specialized in rhythm sequencing than other machines.
