Description

The DR-880 is a rhythm-programming powerhouse thats loaded with world-class drum, percussion, and bass sounds from Rolands famous SRX library. It also includes a stunning collection of original waveforms. You can get microscopic with the DR-880, but you also have the option of taking the simple route with its three EZ Compose buttons, which allow original patterns to be constructed without note-by-note programming hassles. Patterns can be taken deeper with the Groove Modify feature, where various groove and triplet feels can be applied. Ghost notes and fills can also be added automatically. Guitar and bass players can join the action by plugging directly to the DR-880s Guitar/Bass Input jack, and playing through the built-in COSM Drive/Amp models and multi-effects.

Product Experience I own it Closest Store Vancouver British Columbia
Drum pads, sensitivity, ghost notes, ez compose, bass+guitar effects I have to say are well thought out and easy to use. However( I even asked Roland Canada this question without a response), why not make a drum machine with more individual output jacks? This would put Boss on top of drum machines for all the good things they're known for + "functionality". Everyone wants the most out of their equipment these days, and the only fatal flaw the Dr 880 appears to have besides lack of outputs is a effects button to simulate overhead mics to simulate and give more body and headroom to the drums. It almost seems deliberate to not have these features...come on Boss, it's your time to shine!
