Honesymack what do you think about the new “improved kicks” in this update for the 808 and 909 ? . The new 808 kick sound very well for me but the new 909 kick sound a bit diferent right? , i mean the second 909 kick , i love the new 909 snare

Honeysmack · 2014-12-21T10:42:05.000Z

Sounds great. It’s totally subjective area as to what might be ‘better’ - every person will have a different opinion. Genreally speaking more sounds = more scope.

Someone needs to torrent this expansion.

Well someone doesn’t, but some people do. I wonder why it has not been torrented yet?

djsm · 2015-01-26T20:20:27.000Z

I think you need to use your Roland account to use this update…

Regardless, I’ve already spent my cash on a Volca Sample and the tweakbility has already blasted Roland out of the water…

Roland really think their Aira is the shit, and that people are too stupid to look at other options…

Where are all your ‘Grooveboxes’ now Roland? Certainly not the forefront of a serious studio, that’s for sure…

Area303 · 2015-02-01T09:17:06.000Z

For anyone else who thinks torrenting is an option, it isn’t.

They added the 606 sounds and raised the price.
They drop the price once or twice a year, usually on black friday.

Hi all,
Looking for the 7x7 pack for my recently purchased TR-8…
Anybody?
Thanks

It seems we are out of luck,

Notice (May 12, 2020)

**End of sales of 7X7-[Tr8] Drum Machine Expansion for Tr-8

Sales of the 7X7-[Tr8] Drum Machine Expansion for the [Tr-8] will conclude at the end of July 2020. Although you can still purchase from Roland Content Store until the end of July 2020, activation on your [Tr-8] unit must be completed within 30 days after purchase.

AriHaf · 2020-08-21T12:34:19.548Z

To my understanding it is not possible to „share“ the expansion because of the online activation that is necessary to activate the licence on your Tr-8 wich will be shut down by Roland on August, 30th.

avantronica · 2020-08-21T12:37:14.358Z

AriHaf:

not possible to „share“ the expansion

nor is it acceptable to ask or advocate doing so on Elektronauts

https://www.elektronauts.com/guidelines

AriHaf · 2020-08-21T12:40:44.478Z

which corresponds 100% to my conviction, and
I wasn’t sure where this question would lead either.
Sorry for any trouble

vasidudu · 2020-08-21T12:45:31.992Z

Ok sorry guys if Roland or any of you was offended.
I understand it is not acceptable to ask or advocate for such a thing. Guidelines read
