The TR-08 MIDI Editor is a dedicated MIDI controller designed specifically for the Roland Boutique TR-08 Rhythm Composer. It provides seamless integration as both a VST plugin and a standalone application, compatible with PC (32/64-bit) and Mac systems in VST, AU, and standalone formats. This flexibility allows users to incorporate the editor into various digital audio workstation setups to enhance their production workflow.

This editor enables full automation of the TR-08's parameters, allowing users to record and store settings directly within their projects. The intuitive X-Y pad offers dynamic control over any selected parameter, making real-time modulation accessible and expressive. Additionally, users can save their customized sounds as VST presets, simplifying recall and sound management during sessions.

Beyond the standard controls available on the TR-08 hardware, the MIDI Editor unlocks hidden parameters such as tuning, compression for bass drum and snare, and decay adjustments for various drum elements including rimshot, clap, cowbell, tom, and cymbals. This expanded control range provides deeper sound shaping options to tailor drum patterns with precision and creativity.
