GENUINE ANALOG 808 AND 909 DRUM MACHINE
Roland ’s legendary TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines were misunderstood modules that defined the foundations of hip-hop, dance, and electronic styles. Often emulated yet never duplicated, these historic Rhythm Composers are a mere fractal of the ferocity within the TR series’ galvanizing successor: the Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator. This polychromic powerhouse of percussive panache emerges as the most advanced drum machine Roland’s ever devised and its first drum machine in over 40 years to feature a true analog engine. And don’t misunderstand — the 16 analog circuits of the original TR-808 and TR-909 have been meticulously re-created, leaving producers aghast at the indistinguishable accuracy.
Yes, you read right: genuine, analog 808 and 909 drum machines are woven into the TR-1000’s DNA. With onboard ACB modeling complementing FM, VA, and PCM engines, the cutting-edge stereo sampling, sequencing, layering, Morph tools, slicing, analog effects, and state-variable filter unlock a realm of unreal rhythm crafting. Moreover, the I/O suite blends MIDI, CV, Gate, Trigger, DIN Sync, USB, and 5-pin connections, priming the Roland TR-1000 to supercharge every studio-to-stage setup. With limitless interoperative possibilities to explore, the only limit is your imagination — and the drums are only the beginning.
STEP SEQUENCER WITH TR WORKFLOW
It’s no overstatement to say that Roland’s TR workflow earned its legendary status with the sequencing foundations the company laid via the 808 and 909. As an out-of-time ode to historic heat and visionary voltage, the TR-1000 captures this classic TR workflow and expands it with advanced TR-REC sequencing. From laser-tight progressions to wildly swinging sequences, the TR-1000’s powerful yet pliable input modes give you extensive abilities to refine your rhythms with 16 velocity steps, dialing in the groove and giving you detailed control over how you push and pull the pocket.
Additionally, the drum machine’s diverse directional tools — including forward, reverse, and pendulum, to name a few — augment the dynamism of your sequences, with exceptionally versatile control over cycle conditions that define step behavior, including when a given step is played, as well as per-step probability. Finally, new to the TR-1000 is Roland’s array of off-grid options that add a galvanizing dimension of groove-crafting power to your setup, with optional quantization, swing, and shift capabilities to create evolving, expressive sequences.
LOTS OF INS AND OUTS
With one look at the rear-side I/O suite of the TR-1000, you’d be hard-pressed to find something not compatible with the drum machine. Each of the TR-1000’s ten drum-kit parts is given 1/4-inch outputs, which pull double duty as both individual audio outputs and trigger outputs.
Stereo audio-output pairs for your full mix and Analog FX Out complement the dual-mono stereo External In, while a quartet of 1/8-inch Trigger and CV connections comprise Trigger I/O, Filter CV In, and Clock Out jacks.
