Description

Roland's best classic beats in a travel-ready package - what could be better?

The legendary status Roland holds with drum machines is no secret. To celebrate such a status, the Aira Compact T-8 Beat Machine packs classic 606, 808, and 909 drum machine tones into a single module ready for on-the-fly beat making. Roland Analog Circuit Behavior creates that authentic Roland drum and synth tone with an added bass track courtesy of the Roland TB-303.

Far from just a pocket-sized drum machine, Roland's chops with authentic, full, and groovy tones come alive with an easily accessible interface. Real-time recording and performance drops in functionalities like step loop, mute, fill, reload, and pattern shift make this module effortlessly playable and musical. Connectivity with audio, MIDI, and sync I/O make this module deeply compatible and adjustable to the rest of your rig. Standalone or running wild with your other synthesizers, this Roland entry makes itself known.

Fans of classic Roland sound and playability are sure to click with this tiny titan of a beat maker.
