@dj2mn another compromise due to size: the #tr08 lacks individual outputs. Not a big deal if at the park or on the couch where you are just looking for a groove. But for production, you have to involve a computer to get multiple outs. Too much trouble, i’ve never used it that way. By comparison, like the #TR808, the RD8 has individual analog out. That means you can easily send the kick to an octave divider or distortion pedal, snare to a gated reverb, etc. #roland #behringer
