This Roland TR-08 drum machine is a highly detailed replica of Roland's old analog TR-808, the legendary drum machine that carried on several genres. The TR-08 Boutique is very compact; only 30 cm wide, 13 cm deep and 5.1 cm high, matching Roland's previously released Boutique items.
The well-known decay, snappy, and tone encoders, are pleasant to operate with their relatively small design and again feature high sound quality. Like the original TR-808, the TR-08 features a 16-step sequencer, with 16 sub-steps. Besides the features copied from the TR-808, there are a number of additional features added, such as the fact that you can now use the TR-08 as an external audio interface for your computer, a built-in speaker and the fact that this drum machine is even easy to carry around due to its compact design and battery powered operation
The drum machine has a battery life of approximately 6 hours. The included batteries can be recharged while they are inside the device, once the drum machine is powered via the micro USB port on the back of the device.
