Product description Roland Aira Compact T-8
Roland's new Beat Maschine T-8 combines a very compact form factor with the classic drum and bass sounds of Roland's legendary vintage synthesizers.
A total of 6 drum tracks are available, reproducing the sound of the TR-808, TR-909 and TR-606, as well as a bass track based on the emulation of a TB-303.
Thanks to Roland's ACB technology, the sounds are reconstructed as authentically and closely to the original as possible. To add even more polish to the sound, several studio-quality effects are available, including reverb, delay overdrive and sidechain.
Despite its compact size, the T-8 has extensive input/output options, so you can connect it to other Aira Compact models, your DAWs, or other hardware instruments.
The beat machine is either powered via USB, or can also be operated on the go via the integrated rechargeable battery for up to 4.5 hours.
