I record mostly industrial and metal (trying for a ministry/skinny puppy sound) so I would like to have the ability to do double bass for the metal but I am sure the basic drum machine functions could get me what I want for the industrial sounds.
Very nice! I can see my room looking like that soon! I have 2 guitars, a bass, a keyboard, 3 amps, my Tascam and monitors set up on a desk, and my good old fashioned stereo and CD player with stacks of cds (the new cassette tapes LOL) I have a weight bench and heavy bag in my room too though so it’s getting really crowded already. I made some room getting rid of my kegerator though. The TR8 sounds great I just don’t know if I want to spend that much right now.Welly-welly-welly-well, old son. I tend to run along the same lines myself.
The TR-8 may be right in there for that. It's designed to run live, so there's a lot of direct, hands on operation to tweak sounds on the fly. Nothing like retuning a kick as it rumbles by!
One of the main reasons I picked it up was Scatter. Engage that and turn the depth knob to just run the sound though the wringer. Kinda like a bit-crusher.
It would also make a good front end for other modules, like driving the keyboard drums and combining that with the TR-8 sounds. Slap in the fx pedals for more variety and you should be set. The older Alesis Dx [3,4,etc] rack modules can be had pretty cheaply nowadays and have ridiculous amounts of sounds that the TR could be a good front end for ... possibilities abound!
Oddly enough, I was thinking about upgrading to the TR-8S, as it fits my needs a bit better and was trying to figure out what to do with the TR-8. It's in pristine condition with original box if you'd be interested.

Frontline assembly, combichrist, front 242, revolting cocks, ohgr, mindless self indulgence, the birthday massacre....should I keep going?NOT names I ever expected to see dropped on HBT. Awesome. Put some Front Line Assembly in there and we’ve got a party.
(Look up the mix of Rodent by Ken Hiwatt.)
Does anyone know how they get that fast snare repeat effect in some songs? Almost like a skipping effect. Maybe I can find a song with an example of what I mean.
Maybe we can do a collaboration sometime.Thats it, you learn it inside and out. And then...own it. Full creative control and prowess. Ok sorry I am out in the weeds. My degree was in music. In the words of my guitar teacher, Im not pat metheny.
Yeah buddy. Man it used to take 3 hours to do a two decibel volume adjustment. I bet now you could do it over the internet. I'll play anything for you at any time for free. I I have no reason to charge you, but I will want obvious some ownership rights in the music. I could add all kinds of instrumentation to anything, but my main instruments are piano and guitar.Maybe we can do a collaboration sometime.
