Quick overview
The Roland TR-6S is based on the popular TR-8S, but with a lower price tag and a more compact form. It does, however, have the same powerful sound as its larger brother. Roland has knocked it out of the park with their latest drum machine offering, which includes more hands-on production functions, intuitive beat composition, and sound-shaping possibilities.

The Roland TR-6S is based on the popular TR-8S, but with a lower price tag and a more compact form. It does, however, have the same powerful sound as its larger brother. Roland has knocked it out of the park with their latest drum machine offering, which includes more hands-on production functions, intuitive beat composition, and sound-shaping possibilities.
Creative Beats
You'll be drumming up beats quickly and simply with the six tracks of enhanced drum sequencing and the plethora of onboard sounds at your fingertips. There's no headache-inducing, drum machine-related worry here; it's a lot of fun and intuitive. This piece of hardware works excellently right out of the box thanks to dedicated faders, hands-on controls, and an instantly recognised step-sequencer!
Extensive Sound Suite
TR-6S drum machine is jam-packed with sounds and It includes exact replicas of the legendary Roland drum machines, which have cemented their position in music technology history. These are true copies that model the originals down to the finest characteristics, from the 606 and 707 to the thunderous 808 and 909.
Each of them can be combined with FM tones, new samples, or any of the preset samples onboard. This offers up fresh new rhythmic possibilities, allowing you to create completely original hybrid drum kits.
Experiment With Effects
After you've created your ideal beat, you can experiment with a variety of effects. To create complexity to your patterns, use EQs, compressors, reverb, delay, modulation, filters, and LFOs. In addition, motion recording, which is important for building ratcheted sequences, and sub-steps are possible for creating rhythms with greater movement.
Portable Recording
You can produce and record on the go with the TR-6S, which also doubles as a USB/MIDI audio interface, making it a perfect choice if you're frequently on the road. Because of its tiny size, it will fit into even the tiniest of studio and live setups with ease.
