About Roland TR-6S

Small Size. Big Beats

Roland TR drum machines have impacted music for over 40 years—and they’re as influential now as ever. Based on the much-loved TR-8S, the compact and affordable TR-6S has the same speaker-pummeling, window-rattling, body-moving sound of its bigger sibling. Elevate your drum tracks, make beats on the go, and experience the joy of hands-on production. With the TR-6S, the sound of classic tracks, today’s trends, and tomorrow’s hits are always within reach.

ROTR6S

Six tracks of rhythmic bliss

With the TR-6S, you get six tracks of advanced drum sequencing and the most iconic rhythm sounds in music history—all in a battery-powered box that fits just about anywhere. And like other Roland drum machines, it’s fun and inspiring. With the familiar step sequencer plus dedicated faders and knobs, it’s easy to craft custom beats with visceral, hands-on control.

ROTR6S

All the sounds and more

The TR-6S is filled with authentic recreations of legendary Roland drum machines that have defined genres and driven culture for decades, including the 808, 909, 707, and 606. And these aren’t sample packs or cheap knock-offs—they’re living, breathing replicas that sound and behave just like their vintage counterparts.

ROTR6S

The gold standard in drum programming

The sound of today’s music owes a lot to the classic step sequencer—particularly the “TR-REC” variety found in early Roland drum machines. The TR-6S employs the same tried-and-true approach, enhanced with real-time recording and modern features like sub steps for ratcheted parts, probability for creating unpredictability, and motion recording for rhythms that move.

ROTR6S

Positive effects

Create punch, space, warmth, or grit with the array of high-quality effects in the TR-6S. Vital compressors and EQs are at your fingertips, along with lush reverb, delay, and modulation effects. Push your creative boundaries with filters, LFOs, and wild new effects that incite sonic mayhem.

ROTR6S

Convenience and flexibility

The TR-6S is a also a high-quality USB audio/MIDI interface, perfect for mobile or minimal production setups. And it fits in even the most space-starved studios or live rigs, so you can turn life into music whenever inspiration strikes.
