Roland TR-6S Rhythm Composer Overview

The compact and affordable TR-6S Rhythm Composer packs the iconic, room-filling sound of its TR-8S predecessor, offering powerful, hands-on beat-making capabilities in a truly portable drum machine.

The TR-6S brings the renowned heritage of Roland’s TR series drum machines into a portable and cost-effective package. A descendant of the iconic TR-8S, the compact TR-6S delivers room-filling, body-grooving beats that made its forerunner famous. Ideal for on-the-go beat-making and tactile in-studio creation, the TR-6S puts the pulse of both timeless classics and modern hits right at your fingertips.

TR-6S v2.0 - CR-78 and Chromatic 808

As of September 2023, Roland have launched a free software update for the TR-6S that takes this acclaimed drum machine to a whole new level.

This software adds the highly requested CR-78, a coveted unit used by Blondie, Phil Collins, Hall & Oates, Roxy Music and more, to the onboard ACB drum machines roster. With 14 new instruments and the original preset patterns, adding these vintage analogue drum sounds to your music has never been easier. You can also go further with a host of additional parameter controls, including tuning, decay, gain tweaks and motion recording.

As well as the ACB CR-78, TR-8S v2.0 introduced TR-808 Chromatic Bass, a staple of trap, hip-hop and electro music. Finally, you can program TR-808 basslines using tactile TR hardware, the onboard step pads, probability, step loop and more. Designing powerful 808 basslines has never been more immediate and inspiring.

Awesome! Had a basic jam set up in minutes but I know there's so much more it can do. Sounds fab, loads of options on presets and your own tweaks and sample input....can't ask for much more. Pretty sure that with some tutorials and time I'll be a very happy chappy

This is a great Drum machine, I wavered about getting the TR-8S as it meant less menu diving but the TR-6S is super easy to use and a lot more portable. The Drum Tones/samples are great and I don't really require the individual outs. The only thing that is lacking is a sync/clock in/out for modular gear. I wish Roland would add this as MIDI should not be the only option on Pro gear.
