TR-6S Compact Drum Machine with Six tracks of Authentic TR Sounds, Samples, FM Tones, and Effects

Tricky learning curve

Amazing sounds and usable factory presets. Worth the money.

On sale , it's worth the money I was looking for something that contained 808, 909,606 sounds. I recommend it if you're looking for those drum sounds. Has loads of features in a small for factor

You can import your own samples, create your own patterns. I have not scratched the surface of pattern making and automation possible. Reverb is nice, as is delay and filter sweeps. Fader knobs for each instrument is very useful when creating changes in your pieces. Very portable, does not take a lot of space.

//PROS -Lots of fun to play around with once you get past the learning curve. It may seem confusing at first, but once you dedicate some practice, it's a blast! -Up to 32gbs worth of Samples can be uploaded via SD *Notice: *Audio files that can be imported *File format WAV, AIFF *Sampling frequency --WAV: up to 96 kHz--AIFF: 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz, 96 kHz *bit depth--8 bit, 16bit, 24bit, 32bit, 32 bit float *Channel count -- Mono, stereo -Solid build quality *Knobs are small, but handle very smoothly. *Feels very well built and weighty. *RGB display looks simply gorgeous. *Looks good. -Presets include the legendary drum series (909, 808, 707 ect.) -Lots of built in samples and drum kits -Lots lots of memory slots for saving patterns, kits and variations -Comes with good selection of already pre-made patterns -Sound quality is very clean -No compatibility issues with my DAW or Audio interface -A good range of sound effects (EQ, Phaser, flanger, distortion.etc) -Includes step and write mode //CONS - - Only runs on battery power. *This is probably the biggest con for me. Since I use this thing a lot, I was often scrounging around for some double AAs. The solution was to buy some rechargeable AAs and so far it works quite nicely. Just wish they would have considered adding a power port to plug up to a wall instead of having to waste cash on a bunch of AAs. - Some drum kits sound pretty dull or too abstract (small nitpick) -When tuning the samples, it changes the pitch and the speed of the sample. Which can be frustrating at times. CONCLUSION//( 2025 UPDATE! YOU CAN USE A USB-C TO POWER IT INSTEAD OF BATTERIES :D) Minus the battery issue, I totally recommend this thing. It's definitely worth the 400 dollar price tag for all the features it has and is a nice addition to any electronic music setup.
