The TR-8 has been out for over 2 years now. I gave up waiting and bought a 606 earlier this year. Wonder if the emulation will include the background noise and buzzes that mine makes in certain operations and modes.

Interesting. Yeah, the 606 is so nasty sounding (in a good way). Curious to hear how they emulate that.

That's cool. When will they upgrade it to allow more than 16 patterns?!?! Pattern RAM is just a microscopic amount of the device's total memory...

I think the 16 pattern limitation is more about playability and ergonomics than memory.

^ I think you're correct. I'm thinking this may be another instrument to be added to the "bought more than once" list.

And there it is. New floor tom sound, and editable parameters.

Just updated to the latest OS (1.2.0). Will have a listen tomorrow.

Yeah updated mine to 1.20. A bonus for those who got the 7X7 expansion.
