Follow-up to First look at Roland AIRA 7X7-TR8 Drum Machine expansion by Honeysmack

"First jam with the new Roland 7X7-TR8 expansion update. Hooked up a couple of friends old and new: Roland TB-303 Devilfish and Elektron Analog Four.

Nothing too serious just giving the TR8 little more context with some other gear. Plugged everything in, hit record on the camera and jammed the boxes. One single take no edits, no post, no worries. Tunable 707 & 727 sounds is a real plus.

Routing: 7X7-TR8 is the master clock, slaved MIDI to A4 sending sync to 303 Devilfish. 303 audio out is directly routed to the Space pedal. All other effects are from the TR8 and the A4. 303 might be a little too loud me thinks.

Thanks to Roland Australia for an advance copy of the new update."

7X7-TR8 techno jam with MC202 + Analog Four + VT3 by Honeysmack

"Quick jam with the new 7X7-TR8 expansion together with the MC202 + Analog Four. Nothing too serious just finding my way around the new soundset for the TR8. The new expansion opens up the TR8 considerably.

Have always been a big fan of both the TR707 and TR727 (pictured in the video but no in use), great to have them easily accessed on the one machine. Some of the aditional sounds are also of value.

Routing: TR8 is the master clock, slaved to A4 sending sync to 202. Audio from 202 is routed directly to the VT-3. One single, take no edits, no post, no worries.

Somewhat reminds me a little of early Luke Slater/Planetary Assault Systems, which was unintentional but a good thing nevertheless."
