Tame the drum machine within: TR-S DJ-505 + DJ-808 Cheat Sheet
cdm.link
rev 1.0 16 February (covers firmware 1.0
–
1.1)
1-16 correspond to the TR-S drum pads on the top of the unit.
Patterns
Choose a pattern
[PATTERN] + 1-16
Copy
[PATTERN], [SHIFT] + 1-16 (copy), 1-16 (paste)
Clear whole pattern
[PATTERN], [CLEAR] + 1-16
Clear a part
[INST], [CLEAR] + 1-16
Change length (1.10)
[SHIFT] + [SCALE], [VALUE] to select last step
Timing
Adjust shuffle
[SHUFFLE], then [VALUE]
(less shuffle to more shuffle, or from leading to dragging)
Nudge (earlier to later)
[SHIFT] + [SHUFFLE], then [VALUE]
Synchronize to Serato
SYNC (repe
at to “grab” the current BPM)
Toggle sync on and off
SYNC / SYNC OFF (PC mode only)
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 i
n 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)

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.)
