Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator

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 Music Bliss 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.

FEATURES

• Cutting-edge drum machine brings a true successor to the iconic TR line of drum machines
• Visionary sound-design opportunities by combining analog, digital, multi-engine, and sampled sounds, with per-layer FX, modulation, and more
• 16 painstakingly recreated analog circuits from the original TR-808 and TR-909 give you the first official, analog sound engine for Roland drums in 40-plus years
• Multiple entries of 808 and 909 kits guarantee historical accuracy by capturing the natural fluctuations and changes of production and age for the analog 808/909 tones
• New parameters, extended tuning ranges, and a wealth of onboard sound-shaping tools breathe exhilarating life into the classic analog sounds
• ACB modeling engine expands the 808/909 range with more than 20 circuit-bent 8X and 9X kits
• Onboard PCM, FM, and virtual-analog engines open the doors for extensive sound design via synth tones, classic Roland libraries, dynamic digital textures, and more
• Analog effects circuit includes a cutting-edge State Variable Filter and Drive to sculpt and contour textures, timbres, harmonics, and heat
• Expansive digital FX further augment your expressive palette with tenacious texturization tools, from crushers and compressors to flangers and spatialization
• Advanced sampling engine supports on-the-fly time-stretching, nondestructive slicing, BPM sync, and true-stereo sampling/re-sampling
• 46GB onboard storage ensures your sample library is never thin on character
• 2,000+ onboard sounds give you a diverse and dynamic foundation of radio-ready sounds
• Morph slider allows for evocative expression via customizable macro assignments and per-pattern Morph parameters
• External routing and dedicated Analog FX stereo-output pair mean nearly any instrument or audio source can be transmogrified by the magic of the TR-1000
• Ferocious, flexible, and focused TR-REC sequencing allows for extensive quantized, off-grid, swing, and multi-directional progressions
• 16 velocity steps complement customizable cycle behavior and per-step probability to ensure every sequence maintains versatility and keeps your mix fresh
• Snapshots and step loops further extend sequencing and compositional capabilities by capturing knob and fader motions
• Per-drum 1/4-in. outputs send both audio and trigger signals
• Additional Trigger, CV, 5-pin MIDI, and DIN Sync connections ensure detailed integration with Eurorack units, synths, pre-MIDI machines, and further compatible destinations
• USB Type A port provides direct use with USB-MIDI devices, supporting flash drives for system updates, data management, and transferring WAV files to and from your sample library
• USB Type C port lets the TR-1000 function as a full-fledged, multichannel audio and MIDI interface, bringing DAWs, plug-ins, and virtual instruments to your setup
