Roland TR-8
Firmware
Review and Update
If you bought your TR-8 from new then the first thing you would need to do was perform an update to the firmware of the instrument.
Basically the instrument was released to the musically community with several bugs and a few features that were missing, against the release specification. Over the next few years a number of additional firmware released were made, mainly free of charge, but in the case of the 7x7 upgrade that added the TR-707 / TR-727 / TR-606 instruments to the unit this was provided at additional cost.
Top tip: If you are in the market for a second hand Roland TR-8 then make sure you buy one with the 7x7 pack installed as this is still only available from the Roland Cloud service at additional cost.
