TR-1000 Rhythm Creator

The Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator marks a triumphant return to analog for the legendary company, their first true analog drum machine in over four decades. This powerhouse instrument seamlessly blends the best of both analog and digital worlds, offering a comprehensive and inspiring tool for producers, performers, and sound designers. At its core, the TR-1000 features a meticulously crafted analog engine that faithfully recreates the iconic sounds of the TR-808 and TR-909, with 16 of the most cherished circuits from these classic machines. However, Roland has not simply reissued a classic; they have expanded upon it, offering a greater dynamic range and a host of new sound-shaping parameters to push these legendary sounds into new sonic territories. This is not just a drum machine; it's a complete rhythm production studio in a box.

Beyond its analog heart, the TR-1000 boasts a formidable array of digital sound engines. Roland's acclaimed Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology is on board, offering incredibly detailed virtual analog modeling, including 21 "circuit-bent" variations of the 808 and 909 for those who want to mangle and twist the classic sounds into something entirely new. The sonic palette is further expanded with FM percussion, VA synthesis, and a vast library of PCM samples, providing an almost limitless range of tonal possibilities. The TR-1000 also integrates a comprehensive stereo sampler with 64 GB of onboard memory, allowing for easy recording, time-stretching, slicing, and resampling. The advanced sequencer, a hallmark of the TR series, has been taken to the next level with expressive programming, extensive pattern tools, and flexible timing options. With a wealth of effects, a versatile morph fader for creating dynamic transitions, and a vast array of connectivity options, the TR-1000 is poised to become the centerpiece of any modern studio or live setup.
