ROLAND TR-6S 6-TRACK PROGRAMMABLE DRUM MACHINE

Roland TR drum machines have been making an impact on music production for over 40 years—and their influence is stronger than ever. Building on the success of the TR-8S, the TR-6S is a compact and affordable instrument with the same unmistakable sound of its bigger sibling, capable of shaking sound systems and getting clubbers dancing worldwide. Elevate your tracks, create beats on the fly, and experience the joy of direct and effective music production. With the TR-6S, the sound of classic tracks, current genres, and future hits is always at your fingertips.

With the TR-6S, you get six tracks of advanced drum sequencing and the most iconic drum sounds in electronic music history—all in a battery-powered box that fits almost anywhere. And like other Roland drum machines, it's fun and inspiring. Thanks to the renowned step-sequencer and dedicated sliders and knobs, it's easy to create custom beats with intuitive and direct controls.

The TR-6S comes with the legendary sounds of Roland drum machines that have defined genres and cultures for decades, perfectly recreated, including those of the 808, 909, 707, and 606. And we're not talking about sample packs or simple imitations: these are faithful replicas that sound and behave like the vintage versions. Plus, you can combine and blend these sounds with preset and custom samples, and futuristic FM tones, creating hybrid kits that reflect your taste and style.

The sound of today's music owes a lot to the classic step-sequencer found in early Roland drum machines, particularly the "TR-REC" type. The TR-6S adopts the same proven approach, enhanced with modern features like sub-steps for creating "ratcheted" parts and motion recording for creating ever-changing rhythms.

Create punch, space, warmth, or character with the high-quality effects featured in the TR-6S. Essential compressors and EQs are available, along with rich reverbs, delays, and modulation effects. Expand your creative boundaries with filters, LFOs, and wild new effects that incite sonic chaos.

The TR-6S is also a high-quality USB audio/MIDI interface, perfect for on-the-go productions with a minimal number of devices. And it also fits into studios in the tightest spaces or in live setups, to transform life into music as soon as inspiration strikes.
