On the main AIRA thread on The MATRIXSYNTH Lounge, someone asked if the TR-8 can be expanded.
David of Innerclock Systems brought up a good point:
"16 kit slots - only three loaded - watch this space :)"
Note, the original press release mentioned: "16 stunning kits made up of 11 instrument types, including custom dream kits that use both TR-808 and TR-909 sounds"
The key is only three are currently loaded.
The next likely question asked was if the TR-606, TR-707, TR-626 and TR-727 were on the way. David replied "Unconfirmed. But they ain't silly...... All that circuit and microscopic analysis takes time"
It isn't too much of a leap considering the new System-1 also has the ability to load different synth engines with both the SH-101 and SH-2 planned. Regardless, the TR-8 will likely not be just a TR-808 and TR-909 clone, but much more.
David adds: "I'm thinking two TR-8s locked up with combo sounds/different pattern lengths will be killer......" Indeed.
