Synthwave Live Performance w/ Roland TR-8s – DAWless Jam

80s Synthwave performed Live on a Roland TR-8s.
Video is a continuous take from two cameras, audio is recorded straight from the Roland TR-8s main output, into Ableton Live.
No editing, just a light mastering touch to enhance the overall sound.

There’s not a lot to say about the setup here. I just used the Roland TR-8s, with its stock sounds and performance features.
It’s a 707 base kit, with the addition of a few oscillator samples, tweaked using the onboard controls, to make them sound as pad, bass, arpeggiators and leads.
I pre programmed everything in this case cause it’s very hard to program melodic elements on the fly.
