Description
Genre-defining sounds.
Build beats with the boom, pop, and sizzle of sounds from the TR-808, TR-909, and TR-606 drum machines, paired with the shapeshifting low end of the dynamic TB-303 Bass Line. The T-8 exudes classic Roland character, thanks to the same Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) tech found in the TR-8S, TB-3, and other high-end AIRA gear.
Seven tracks of inspiration.
The T-8 features six drum tracks and one bass track brought together with a friendly interface for fast recording and hands-on tweaks. Capture and fire off 64 patterns with up to 32 steps each, and shape sounds and control parts as you go with an array of dedicated knobs and buttons.
Classic workflow, modernized.
Backed by the TR-REC step sequencer loved by beatmakers since the 1980s, the T-8 makes it simple to develop ideas without ever stopping the action. Real-time recording, sub steps, and velocity further expand the programming power at your fingers. And with deep features like step loop, pattern shift, and probability, it’s easy to deliver dynamic performances with constantly evolving grooves.
Spicy effects.
Create grit, space, and vibe with the T-8’s high-quality effects. Dirty up rhythms and bass with some meaty overdrive, and keep the beats pumping with sidechain compression. And with dedicated delay and reverb knobs, you can add all sorts of spatial colors to grooves as you perform.
Everywhere at once.
Instilling big sound in an ultra-compact instrument, the T-8 lets you play and perform wherever and whenever you please. The lithium-ion battery keeps you going for up to 4.5 hours per charge, and rugged Roland build quality will fuel beatmaking adventures for years to come.
Create infectious tracks in seconds flat with the T-8 Beat Machine, a miniature rhythm factory loaded with legendary Roland TR drums plus bass from the inimitable TB-303.
Craft on-the-fly acid jams or trap bangers with the intuitive 16-step sequencer, shape sounds with onboard controls, and flip and dice beats with hands-on tools that stimulate ideas and put the fun back into your flow.
Jam instantly.
AIRA Compact invites you to start making music the instant you power up. With friendly controls, inspiring sounds, and loads of creative tools, you can quickly turn simple ideas into off-the-cuff masterpieces.
Uncommon versatility.
However and wherever you make music, AIRA Compact instruments are there for you. Stow one in a pocket or backpack and compose on the go. Mix and match them for busking, club performing, and livestreams. Or use them as high-quality sound generators and input devices for larger-scale performances and computer music production.
Renowned sonic DNA.
Driven by the advanced Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology found in our top-line instruments, AIRA Compact delivers the real-deal sounds behind decades of hit music. Create with the authentic voices of Roland icons, including TR rhythms, TB basses, JUNO synths, VT effects, and more.
Class-leading connectivity.
AIRA Compact provides ample I/O to interface with everything in your musical world. Synchronize and monitor multiple AIRA Compact instruments from one unit, connect with stereo audio and MIDI devices, and communicate with computers and mobile music apps via USB-C.
Small and mighty.
AIRA Compact strikes the perfect balance between portability and power. Each model is small enough to slip in a pocket and features a tactile panel to jump-start your creative flow. Onboard lithium-ion batteries provide hours of continuous fun per charge. And with Roland’s famous build quality, your AIRA Compact is ready for years of musical exploration.
