The Roland R-8 was an advanced drum computer. It appeared in 1988 and was marketed as a 'human rhythm composer'.
R-8 Manager is a powerful editor for the R-8.
Features:
- Only supports the original R-8, not the later R-8M or R-8 MK II. (For starters, the R-8M and R-8 MK II use different Model IDs in their System Exclusive formats, so they would simply ignore any System Exclusive messages sent by R-8 Manager.)
- Full control over the R-8's setup, patterns and songs.
- Supports all eleven Roland SN-R8-nn ROM cards.
