Common Roland Aira Compact T-8 Beat Machine Questions
How do I sync the T-8 to other gear via MIDI?
Connect the T-8's MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of your other device. Configure the T-8's MIDI Sync setting (using Shift + Tempo) to 'INT' if it's the master clock, or 'EXT' if it should sync to an external clock.
How do I save and load patterns/presets/kits on the T-8?
Press Shift + Rec to save a pattern. To load a pattern, hold the pattern number button (1-8) while pressing Play. Kit changes are saved with each pattern, so saving a pattern saves the currently loaded kit.
What are the basic steps to creating a beat on the T-8?
Choose a kit. Select a pattern number, press Rec, then use the step buttons to input notes for each of the instruments (Bass, Snare, Clap, Toms, FX).
My T-8 isn't making any sound. What could be wrong?
First, check the volume knob and headphone output. Ensure the Sync mode (internal/external) is correctly configured and your external clock is running, or that the T-8 is set to 'INT' for internal clock.
What are the key performance features unique to the T-8 that I should know about?
The T-8 offers motion recording for parameter changes, allowing you to add dynamic variation to your sequences, as well as a Scatter effect for real-time beat manipulation, controllable with the dedicated knob.
