The TR-6S packs the same speaker-pummelling, window-rattling power of Roland's acclaimed TR-8S into a compact, battery-powered unit that fits anywhere your creativity takes you. This six-track drum machine brings together authentic recreations of legendary Roland rhythm boxes including the 808, 909, 707, and 606 – not sample packs or imitations, but living, breathing replicas that sound and behave exactly like their vintage counterparts. You can blend these iconic sounds with preset samples, custom user samples, and futuristic FM tones to create hybrid drum kits that reflect your unique musical vision.

Built around the classic TR-REC step-sequencer that has shaped modern music for decades, the TR-6S enhances this proven approach with realtime recording capabilities and contemporary features like sub-steps for ratcheted parts and motion recording for dynamic rhythms. The familiar layout of dedicated faders and knobs provides visceral, hands-on control for crafting custom beats with immediate tactile feedback.

Professional-grade effects processing includes essential compressors and EQs alongside lush reverb, delay, and modulation effects, plus filters, LFOs, and experimental effects for sonic exploration. The TR-6S doubles as a high-quality USB audio/MIDI interface, making it perfect for mobile production setups or space-conscious studios. Recent firmware updates have added an authentic ACB model of the CR-78 CompuRhythm and a new TR-808 Chromatic Bass instrument, available as free downloads from Roland's website.
