Drum Roll for Roland’s TR-1000

Roland has released the TR-1000, the first Roland drum machine with a true analogue engine in over forty years. It features sixteen of the most coveted circuits from the TR-808 and TR-909, faithfully recreated from the original designs with detailed engineering and carefully selected modern components. Fusing vintage soul with expanded control, this engine delivers the authentic analog TR sound, boosted with new parameters and vastly expanded dynamic range.

Roland TR-1000 – Rewriting the rules of rhythm

Alongside the TR-1000’s analog sounds are powerful digital engines driven by Roland’s latest modeling technology. Our ACB (Analogue Circuit Behavior) platform provides detailed analog circuit emulations, including 21 circuit-bent 8X and 9X models. Drawing from the 808 and 909, these new voices include quick-access parameters for live shaping and expanded controls that push the sound far beyond the range of conventional analog. You also get FM percussion, virtual analogue synthesis, and a deep library of PCM samples for sonic exploration and fresh digital textures.

Roland TR-1000 – Sample, stretch, slice, resample

Classic TR instruments laid the foundations for countless electronic music genres—and when paired with digital sampling, their influence deepened. Comprehensive sample tools are fully integrated into the TR-1000 workflow, including stereo sampling and resampling, BPM sync, seamless time-stretching, and non-destructive slice editing. The onboard 64 GB memory comes with a curated collection of 2,000 samples, with 46 GB free for your own captures, edits, and sample imports.

Roland TR-1000 – Analogue and digital effects

Refine and transform with the TR-1000’s rich palette of tactile effects. Shape sounds with the new analog state-variable filter (SVF) inspired by classic Roland OTA designs. Add saturated punch using the dedicated analogue drive. Colour tones with digital favorites like crusher, filter, isolator, saturator, pitch delay, flanger, and more. Enhance the mix with reverb and delay sends for each track, and then add additional flavour and movement with a slate of master effects.

Roland TR-1000 – Deep sound design

Powerful in-line processing makes it easy to sculpt distinctive and dynamic rhythms with the TR-1000. Each track combines a model-specific sound generator, compressor, multimode filter/four-band EQ, and amp/envelope control. Four of the available tracks allow for two independent sound generators to be stacked or programmed separately, complete with per-track FX, internal sidechaining, output routing, and a three-target LFO.
