Roland TR-6S (opened)

Roland TR drum machines have been a major influence on music for more than 40 years - and today their influence is greater than ever. The compact and affordable TR-6S is based on the popular TR-8S and boasts the same sound that its bigger sibling can make windows vibrate and dance floors dance. Take your drum sounds to the next level, create beats on the go and experience the pure joy of direct creation. With the TR-6S, the sound of classic tracks, today's trends and future hits is always at your fingertips.

Six tracks full of heavenly rhythms.

With the TR-6S, you get six tracks for advanced drum sequencing, plus the most legendary sounds in music history - all in a flashlight box that fits just about anywhere. And like other Roland drum machines, this one is full of fun and inspiration. The familiar step sequencer and special sliders and controls make intuitive, manual sound creation a breeze.

All the sounds and more.

The TR-6S is packed with authentic replicas of legendary Roland drum machines that have defined entire genres and driven culture for decades - including the 808, 909, 707 and 606. And these aren't just sample packs or cheap knockoffs - they're living, breathing replicas that sound and behave just like their classic predecessors. These sounds can then be combined at will with preset and custom samples and futuristic FM tones, creating exotic hybrid kits that reflect your unique taste and style.

The gold standard in drum programming.

The sound of today's music owes much to the classic step sequencer - especially the TR-REC version found in early Roland drum machines. The TR-6S uses the same tried-and-true approach, enhanced with real-time recording and modern features like substeps for rattling sections or motion recording for dynamic rhythms.

Positive effects.

Add punch, spaciousness, warmth or grit to your sounds with the full range of high-quality effects the TR-6S offers. Compressors and EQs are at your fingertips, as are Reverb, Delay and Modulation effects. Take your creativity even further with filters, LFOs and wild new effects that can cause a real ruckus.

Convenience and flexibility.

The TR-6S also features a high-quality USB audio/MIDI interface, making it perfect for mobile or minimalist production setups. Plus, it fits into even the most confined studios or venues, so you can start turning everyday life into music whenever inspiration strikes.
