Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator
The Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator builds on the legacy of their most iconic drum machines, combining analog heritage with modern technology. Its newly developed analog engine faithfully reproduces classic TR-808 and TR-909 sounds, enriched with extended range and innovative parameters unavailable on the original machines.
The advanced ACB modelling engine introduces 21 circuit-bent 8X and 9X models, broadening the sonic palette into uncharted creative territories. Supplemented by FM, VA, and PCM engines, it excels in generating complex basslines, intricate synth timbres, and dynamic digital textures.
The integrated sampler boasts over 2,500 onboard sounds, 46 GB of memory, stereo sampling, BPM sync, time-stretching, and non-destructive slice editing. Complementing these features, the next-generation TR-REC step sequencer offers sophisticated off-grid rhythmic programming for precise performance and production control.
