Owned sever...al of the originals - this one works identically with added features like MIDI, USB audio, Sub Steps, and a few nice Menu goodies... :) Sounds exactly like an 808 at a tenth of the price. If you've been looking for an original grab one of these.

Works as intended but it is just not designed... for hard rock and roll. This drum machine is designed more specifically for Dance Music, Hip Hop, Rap, R & B or other soft genres of music. I play hard rock, and this is just too soft for hard rock.

If you are looking for those ol...d-school 1980s beats this is the drum machine that started it all. and one third of the price of the original you could own this classic beatbox machine but it doesn't come with instructions or how to use it. I guess Roland was thinking that everybody knows how the program this machine but if you're like me and you would just eight years old when the original one came out you don't know how to program it. Go to YouTube and watch some tutorials on how to program this machine. Roland drop the ball all the instruction manual they really should have included it but it is still worth owning

I really love this classic Tr 08. Once I get used to it,it's game o...ver. I'm glad I made this purchase as it will be well worth the price & all. This machine is all that & some. I am in love with it already.

If you like that classic drum machin...e sound from the 1980s look no further. This is a excellent drum machine but the only problem is the sounds are very dated of course it is a reproduction of the classic but they are asking too much money for these old sounds. Roland it's pretty much robbing people when they asking $380 for this drum machine that came out around 1981 or 82. If this drum machine was priced at maybe $100 then it would be worth it. oh by the way it comes with no manual so you going to have to go to YouTube to learn how to program this headache of a beast
