rumour is some sort of 808/909 analogue/digital/same mash up drum machine groove box!

[cryophonik]

...with no song mode, of course

808 kick and snare and 909 hat in the music track on their site. Sounds like frequency shifting or phasing being applied to it. In the YouTube short it sounds like extreme distortion being applied to the 909 rim shot. Seems like they've found another way to repackage the same sounds they've been selling since the 80s.

Looks like a fairly big unit from the screenshot I've seen so I'm going to guess this is at least £1200.

I saw this screenshot over on GS showing it at $3500 Canadian, not sure if it's legit, though.

Oof, yeah that's definitely in flagship workstation price territory.

Yes, I spotted that CA $3.5K in Google search. And I also saw a reddit post from someone stating US $2.5K. If that's correct, surely it has analog elements, premium build, and much much more.

wtf is that timer/bpm counter, 8 seconds for the each .

Some sort of timer where the TR-1000 is announced/released when it hits 1000?

[ere2learn]

In 124 hours if the math checks out, its 5 second per .01

And that would appear to be 10/01 (in US calendar)...close enough?

[ere2learn]

Missed a beat there roland, should be called tr-1001

[electro]

So where's the announcement?

[seafire]

Presumably when the counter gets to 1000

[cryophonik]

The implication is Tuesday (10/1).

The countdown to disappointment has commenced...
