Roland T-8 Beat Machine Aira Compact

A complete rhythm factory in miniature format that lets you create infectious tracks in seconds - equipped with the legendary TR drums and the unmistakable bass of the TB-303.

Create spontaneous acid jams in the intuitive 16-step sequencer, tweak sounds and craft beats with the built-in tools that inspire your ideas and bring back the fun of flow. Build beats with the classic boom, pop and sizzle of the TR-808, TR-909 and TR-606 drum machines and combine it all with the dynamic low end of the TB-303 Bass Line.

Thanks to Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology, which is also used in the TR-8S, TB-3 and other high-quality Aira instruments, the T-8 exudes classic Roland character. The T-8 is equipped with numerous input and output options and effortlessly moves into the rhythmic center of your electronic music setup. Connect and synchronize the T-8 with other Aira Compact models such as the J-6 Chord Synthesizer and the E-4 Voice Tweaker. You can also use the USB-C or MIDI ports to communicate with computer DAWs, mobile music apps and hardware instruments.
