Roland TR-6S Compact Rhythm Performer
Roland TR-6S Rhythm Performer
Combine your samples with classic TR drum machine sounds
Crafting your own signature sound in the modern musical landscape calls for layering individual elements, and the TR-6S Rhythm Performer is ready with support for WAV and AIFF samples. Packing every single sound from Roland’s entire range of TR drum machines, plus the ability to use your own samples, the TR-6S Rhythm Performer offers massive creative potential. Thanks to Roland’s Analog Circuit Behavior technology, the TR-6S drum machine not only delivers all the authentic TR series sounds you know, but it also gives you a level of control and flexibility never before possible.
Old-school sequencing for the 21st century
Modern step sequencing would never have come about if it weren’t for the original TR-808 drum machine, and the TR-6S’s bank of 16 backlit, per-step pads instantly conjure up images of this beloved analog classic. In addition to the old-school TR-REC recording method that set the stage for many drum machines to follow, the TR-6S includes intuitive hands-on controls for programming each step with its parameter settings. Choose pattern sizes up to 32 steps long, with A and B parts and simple chaining to create longer progressions. What’s more, thanks to its flexible architecture, you can seamlessly switch back and forth between performing and sequencing to create and tweak your grooves on the fly.
Cutting-edge Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology
Roland’s Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology captures the essence of their legacy synths, emulating every step in those units’ signal paths, down to the individual circuit board components. The Roland TR-6S leverages that technology to deliver a spot-on re-creation of the sound of the original TR drum machines. And unlike the original TR drum machines, the TR-6S is consistent across units, so you’re guaranteed to get the highest-quality tones possible for building epic patterns and sequences!
