I would have recommended the Roland TR-8S but looks like the price went up recently. I've been having a blast with the Roland TR-06: https://www.roland.com/us/products/tr-06/
Same, but instead of cleaning it up, I sample it into the Digitakt
I just skip over DC most of the time. It's just a sketch pad when I'm not home.
Machinedrums ftw. Real life DrumComputer
I believe it was just a cursory google image search for OP-Z + op-1 stand. It could’ve also been on the forums or the subreddit, but that’s as far as I remember. I’ve seen multiple dual stands on sites like reverb, though.
I have a Roland tr-8s and I love it. Doesn’t pair all that well with the iPad but it’s still pretty awesome on its own. It also doubles as a competent midi controller as well
I can find a bunch of dual OP-1 OP-Z stands, but nothing that also holds a laptop.
It's tough for hardware drum machines to compete with an iPad for ease of programming and sequencing drum patterns.
It is.
But hardware drum machines like the DrumBrute Impact do a pretty good job though, and the hands on tactility can be compelling. Whilst it's a far more limited process than what I can do with my iDevices or Mac, it does encourage me to programme in a different way. The jamming potential is just more fun with hardware with dedicated pads and knobs. I get very different patterns with the DBI than with apps, and you can jam and program on the fly, change up sounds and use rollers, beat repeats etc as you go and the MIDI it spits out can also be recorded for use with all the cool iOS apps. It's fun to do all that manually as a performance, using it as an actual instrument.
Having said that I programme 99% of my drums on iPhone/Ipad or Mac. But I love my DBI. It's a fantastic piece of kit. I was bought it as an Xmas present a couple of years ago and don't use it as much as I like as it's not in my pocket every day.
But for some tasks, there's nothing quite like real hardware. Is it better? Probably not. But it is different enough to be a valid alternative, even if only used sparingly.
I love hardware drum machines. I wish I had more. I also love drum machine apps. I have way too many and not enough.
This. I'd be all over a tr8s and I think a fair of people would have been all over the mx-1 if it was class compliant. The ARIA stuff is a bit head scratching to me regarding its proprietary setup (and really??? proprietary USB ports???)
The one I saw had an iPad, not a laptop. But it could have been 2 separate controllers. One for the TE stuff and one for the iPad. This was about a year and a half ago.
