Description: This listing is for the Roland Aira TR-8 Rhythm Performer Drum Machine with Synth Graphics 808 Overlay and 7X7 Expansion. This includes the original box and power supply. It is in excellent condition. *PLEASE NOTE: The top LED to the right of the Scale button does not light. This does not affect performance. All 4 Scale modes are selectable. Everything on the TR-8 works 100%. The TR-8 is formatted to factory settings so it will power up like a brand new machine out of the box Any other questions, just let me know. I'm happy to answer them. ABOUT THE 808 OVERLAY: I purchased the 808 Overlay for my TR-8 from Synth Graphics and installed it myself. They are well known for their high quality overlays printed on a 3M lexan polycarbonate sheet. It is NOT just a vinyl sticker. It is very nice. You'll also notice I carefully painted the green border on the outer edge of the TR-8 as well as the scatter knob. I did this by removing the faceplate and taping the edge to get a professional look. I think it looks much better in black. ABOUT THE 7X7 EXPANSION: This is the TR-707 and TR-727 drum machine expansion for the TR-8 which is no longer in production. It has all the original sounds of the Roland 707 and 727. This expansion is installed and ready to play. -Every sound of the TR-707 and TR-727 Rhythm Composers, faithfully reproduced using the original PCM wave data and detailed models of the original circuitry -Analog Circuit Behavior captures the unmistakable sound of the original units—a result of lo-fi sampling and the behavior of the analog envelope and VCA circuitry design Adds the unique flam and accent behaviors of the TR-909 and TR-707, with adjustable flam intensity and two levels of accent -Four entirely new TR-8 sounds including modified TR-909 kick, TR-909 snare and all new clap and snap sounds -Upgrades the TR-8 to have all the sounds and articulations of four iconic TR drum machines, plus all new sounds, in one performance-ready instrument ABOUT THE TR-8: (from Roland website) The TR-8 is a performance rhythm machine that melds the legendary sound and vibe of the TR-808 and TR-909 with features and functions for the modern age. Genre-defining sounds, classic effects, unprecedented live pattern manipulation, and solid, intuitive performance controls. It’s the TR…evolved.
