But wait. If you can use your own samples. How do you control the ADSR? How would I set a sample to play a specific number of steps?
Curious
if Elektron dont release overbridge for DT this month, i will sell my DT for this

Roland actually included what i’ve been asking for some years ago for the Analog Rytm:
Beat Variations (and a good fill-in function) .
You can have 8 variations per pattern, and 16 patterns per track
and then you have substeps, scatter and much more.
i hope it is not limited to 4 bars 
but really good sequencer , Roland, though intelligent Ghost notes would be very nice too !
How do you get samples on an SD card in this day and age? Curious.
So many questions…
SD card reader. I use this one:
SD card reader (my laptop has one built in) if you have an iPad or iPhone the CCK works… many ways

Lots of laptops have SD card readers right on the chassis.
From what I understand from the video each pattern can have 8 sections (the OG had 2 per pattern) and these 8 sections can play sequentially or in isolation, on the fly as well. So each pattern can be effectively 8 bars, then you have 2 fills which can be triggered manually or every x bars automatically and this can also be changed on the fly, flexible and simple.

Am I correct to think (comparing DT, OT and the subject of this thread) that TR8S, if everything goes as planned, is a more straightforward and “effective” performance drum machine (although with no cond. trigs.) than DT. And at the same time OT is a far deeper sampler than DT that works good both without and with (when it comes) Overbridge.
So, OT + TR8S = ultimate power?

Hmmm - I have a 2011 MBP. I’m thinking it has an SD reader built in. But I’ve never used it, so I don’t know here in my work cubicle, working or work stuff…
a live streams on facebook right now with artist demoing the unit:
I might just keep my TR-8 and lug along the OT if I need samples.

Its very very very tempting, in combination with my modular. Those outputs and all… but I am not gonna step in to it at the moment. First I want to see/hear more. I find the Rytm and the DT very musical and love the workflow. Same as the toraiz that I use at the moment with my modular because of its individual outs and direct sampling. This tr8s will not fill a gap for me so it has to be very very good… maybe when it hits the second hand market in about 6 months…
Edit: and this time I - must - be - strong…

Great news and I‘m glad I let my TR-8 go a while ago. This will likely eat into DT and AR sales and I hope Elektron will up their game as a result.

How much did you get for it, if I may ask? Now seems to be a bad time to sell my TR-8…
I had just convinced myself that I should save for retirement rather than get a MD or Ableton Live 10 and now this drops lol. I have very fond memories of my TR-8 other than its sound was just a little to limited for what I wanted to do. Great fun by itself or with friends. I’m curious if this signals a ‘MKII’ of all the Aira range or some entirely new pieces.

I was thinking if I already have tr8 & OT2, what does new tr8s bring?
Motion record - does it record fader movements?
Multiple outs
Samples, but then I have ot
A few other nice additions. Will buy after the fuss dies down…
