The T-8 exudes classic Roland character, thanks to the same Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) tech found in the TR-8S, TB-3, and other high-end AIRA gear.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch2 class=\"c-headline02 inview in-view-bottom in-view\" data-show=\"on-scroll\"\u003eBeat central.\u003c\/h2\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLoaded with comprehensive I\/O, the T-8 is ready to be the rhythmic centerpiece of any electronic music setup.
