Tips & Tricks TR-8
Hold down the instrument select button and program a step, this way the led is slightly weaker and the sound is a weak hit.
Save patterns with the DAW - just record them via midi
there are 7 different types of reverb and delay. you get to them by pressing the step button by the delay or reverb and the inst button in drum select.
you can also choose which instruments you want the effects on by pressing the kit button , holding the step button (next to the effects knobs)down and then pressing the inst select buttons to select the instruments you would like to add the effect to.
effects and "scatter" only show up on ch. 1-2, not the usb individual outs.
Holding down 8th or 16th rolls along with the VARI 1 and VARI 2 (at the same time) creates different combinations of rolls.
Select delay algo 2, set time at about 30%, feedback at 100%.
Play any pattern or beat into it, then stop. The delay will carry on feedbacking,
but not like any of the other algos. It generates a evolving, shifting, panning
soundscape almost completely unrelated to the original delayed source! Changing the
delay time knob or the tempo can sometimes knock it right back in volume and
intensity, but it usually comes back on its own. Love it!
Changing the color style of the step-lights, While being in the "under the hood
mode" (settings):
Keep the [DEPTH] button pushed and now turn the [SCATTER] knob.
There is not only a dimmed mode but completely other color styles of the step-lights.
For those who need a quick reference: Power up while holding PTN Select, hold Depth and select 2 on scatter to dim the buttons.
On the tr8:
Delay 8 seems like an over drive or distortion
Delay 7 is super fast
Delay 6&5 are reverse.
Panning:

Press TR-REC. Press STEP in beside Accent Level. Press pad(s) for step you want the accent to appear - they turn red. Adjust level.
Accent:
Hold down the instrument button (e.g. BD, SD, etc) while selecting the step. It creates a lighter hit on that step indicated by lighter red that a normal hit.

Ohne A/B zu Drücken die Instrumente (z.b. Toms und Hats leuchten ja nicht da Sie auf A/B liegen) wieder angewählt, Start gedrückt, alles wieder auf dem Main out.
MIDI clock source [1]
Lit (AUTO) If MIDI clock is being input to the MIDI IN connector or the USB
port, the TR-8’s tempo will automatically synchronize to MIDI
clock (default). If MIDI clock is being simultaneously input from the MIDI
IN connector and from the USB port, the USB port takes
priority.
Unlit (INTERNAL) The TR-8 operates at the tempo specified on the unit itself.
Choose the “INTERNAL” setting if you don’t want to synchronize
to an external device.
MIDI through [2]
Lit (ON) Specifies whether data received from the MIDI IN connector will
be retransmitted from the MIDI OUT connector (ON: default) or
Unlit (OFF) will not be retransmitted (OFF).
BOOST mode [3]
Lit (ON) Boosts the output level of the MIX OUT jacks.
Unlit (OFF)
EXTERNAL IN select [4]
Lit (STEREO) Specifies whether the audio input from the EXTERNAL IN jacks
Unlit (MONO) will be stereo (default setting) or mono x 2.
