Roland Introduces TR-8S v2.5/TR-6S v1.5 Firmware & TR-EDITOR Update

video upload by RolandChannel

"TR-8S v2.5 and TR-6S v1.5 update load your Rhythm Performer with a stack of exciting new features. In this video, Dustin Good demonstrates the ins and outs of the new firmware and TR-EDITOR software updates.

Both TRs add six FM-based drum models—kick, snare, tom, clap, percussion, and cymbal. These models include new editable FM parameters which can be controlled from both the TR hardware and TR-EDITOR software for creating intricate, evolving sounds.

Rhythm tracks get a dose of unpredictability with a fresh sequencer update that adds probability, sub step probability, and master probability. Probability can bring your drum programming to life by setting percentage values to individual steps that dictate the chance of that step playing. The higher the percentage, the more that note will be played.

Quickly assign new sounds to your pattern with random kit and random instrument. Create spontaneous sonic changes in patterns and then easily restore back to the original kit.

Then run sounds through four new MFX options—Tone Fattener, Vinyl Simulator, Pitch Shifter Delay, and Ha-Dou Reverb.

Plus, upgrade the TR-EDITOR software to version 1.5 for deeper control of the new FM, probability editing, and more.

"This synth has the GliGli Mod installed. (I will also include the original Z80 chip that was in the synth before the GliGli Mod was installed.) I purchased this synth 4 years ago from the Vintage Vibe Electric Piano Co. It has left my studio only a handful of times since then and it functions perfectly. All switches, pots, and buttons work great and actuate as they should (i.e., smoothly and efficiently). The keys are in excellent condition. It sounds incredible and has a character that can't be captured with modern synths. The PolyMod is wicked cool and allows for some synth effects that are truly unique. I have listed the condition as "Excellent" because the synth is in great shape - but there is one noteworthy cosmetic imperfection: the left side (bass end) wood panel has been significantly scratched (it was like that when I purchased it from Vintage Vibe). I have highlighted this in the pictures. It lends character to this instrument and has zero effect on the instrument as such - and can be remedied by replacing the wood side panels with replicas of your choosing or design. The synth comes with the road case featured in some of the pictures and with a power cord. The road case is old but it is still functional and protective."

"Hey everyone,
got my hands on two interesting instruments which I fell in love with straight away. The Yamaha Portasound PSS 680 and PSS 380. So here is finally some new FM content on this channel and I am sure to make some more later. Really looking forward to reading your comments/thoughts about it.
All the best,
Daen from Electrixity"
