WORKING CONDITION: Excellent. This TR-08 sounds great and operates correctly. The sound is big, and the small knobs are surprisingly easy to manipulate when programming.

PHYSICAL CONDITION: Excellent. There are a few tiny blemishes in the black finish, but the graphics are completely legible. The switches, knobs, LED characters, buttons, and iO jacks are all in excellent condition.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: This listing is for a Roland TR-08 Rhythm Composer Boutique Series Drum Machine. The Roland TR-08 Rhythm Composer is a compact, ultra-detailed replica of the legendary TR-808 drum machine. Part of the Roland Boutique series, it utilizes Roland's proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology to faithfully recreate the tone, behavior, and character of the original vintage analog hardware. It wraps the iconic 808 sound engine in a portable format powered by USB or batteries, which adds modern digital amenities like an audio interface and micro-step sequencing.
