Does the aria tr-8 have speakers included in the device to output sound or does it have to be connected to external speakers, etc.?

Has to be connected to speakers by 1/4 jacks or if you have the mx-1 usb

Can this be used in an analog set up?

Short answer: yes. It has both standard in+out midi ports and 1/4" phono audio inputs+outputs.

Can i plug this to a 220-240 volts power source?

You would need to use the appropriate TR-8S power supply for 220 volts. The power supply that comes with the TR-8S is rated for 110 volts.

Why is this less expensive than the 101? Are there less features?

They are pretty different in what they do. I dont have a 101 but i’ve heard of people having both for this reason. Watch some videos on both of them and you should be able to figure out which one fits your needs better.
