«  Excellent Drum Machine underestimated »

Published on 02/02/12 at 11:06
Value For Money : Excellent
No CV / Gate (of course) but no effect and that's good.

UTILIZATION

Getting started relatively quickly. The sequencer galley may seem at first if you're used to TR (606/808/909), but in the end, it is more accurate and realistic.

SOUNDS

Sounds "basic" are not great, like drum kits late 80's at the bottom, but the bike takes all its interest with sound cards SN-R8-04 and 10. One is left with a sort of TR-808 digital. While handling is obviously not the same, but the sound is there. With 10 separate outputs (Master L / R included), the possibilities are endless mix.

OVERALL OPINION

The large gear of the era (1988), reliable and costo totally underestimated the benefit of BAR Roland TR-808 or 909 who snapped up the price of gold when you can easily obtain an R-8 for a much more reasonable sum. The whole is to arrive to find sound cards that come with it ... That said, even without the cards, this bar is very good quality / price ratio.
