Roland DJ-808 TR-S Cheat Sheet

Tame the drum machine within: TR-S DJ-505 + DJ-808 Cheat Sheet
1-16 correspond to the TR-S drum pads on the top of the unit.
Patterns
Choose a pattern
Copy
Clear whole pattern
Clear a part
Change length (1.10)
Timing
Adjust shuffle
(less shuffle to more shuffle, or from leading to dragging)
Nudge (earlier to later)
Synchronize to Serato
Toggle sync on and off
Note: shuffle and nudge work in reverse of one another. That makes some sense: increasing
shuffle means that the notes fall later; "nudge" moves them forward or backward in time
directly. Nudge and tap tempo were added on the DJ-808 in the 1.10 firmware.
Sounds
Choose kit [SHIFT] + [INST], 1-12 (last four slots work with Serato Sampler)
Change part sound in a kit (808, 909, 707, 606) [INST], 1-8 + [VALUE]
Level Volume
Attack BD attack, SD snare rattle only
Tune Adjusts pitch or filter
Decay Adjusts decay envelope
You can now choose up to four sounds from the TR-S' twelve kits, which show up as 60, 70,
80, and 90. (1.0 firmware had just 8 kits and 808/909 sounds.)
