Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator

The Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator is a groundbreaking drum machine that redefines what modern beat production can be while paying homage to the legendary TR series. As the first official analog sound engine for Roland drums in over 40 years, the TR-1000 combines true analog circuitry with cutting-edge digital engines, sampling power, and expressive sequencing tools to deliver the ultimate rhythm workstation.

With 16 meticulously recreated analog circuits from the TR-808 and TR-909, this machine captures the natural warmth, character, and subtle fluctuations that made the originals timeless. Multiple entries of classic 808 and 909 kits ensure historical accuracy, while expanded parameters, extended tuning ranges, and per-layer FX inject fresh life into these iconic sounds. Roland’s acclaimed ACB modeling engine further expands your arsenal with circuit-bent 8X and 9X kits for more aggressive tones.

Beyond analog, the TR-1000 offers powerful PCM, FM, and virtual-analog engines, plus an advanced sampling engine with time-stretching, slicing, BPM sync, and re-sampling capabilities. A massive 46GB of onboard storage and over 2,000 sounds give you a diverse, ready-to-use library, while the morph slider and customizable macros open up limitless sound-sculpting possibilities.

Creative expression is supercharged with a state-of-the-art analog effects circuit featuring a State Variable Filter and Drive, paired with an expansive suite of digital FX including crushers, compressors, flangers, and spatial processors. The TR-1000 also doubles as a powerful multichannel audio/MIDI interface via USB-C, making it easy to integrate with your DAW, plug-ins, and virtual instruments.

For live performance and studio integration, the TR-REC sequencer remains ferocious, flexible, and intuitive, offering per-step probability, cycle behavior, swing, and velocity layers to keep your grooves evolving. Snapshots, step loops, and motion recording let you push compositions further, while extensive I/O-CV, Trigger, MIDI, DIN Sync, USB, and dedicated per-drum outputs,ensures seamless connectivity with modern and vintage gear alike.

The Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator is more than just a drum machine; it’s a complete rhythm design ecosystem built for producers, DJs, and performers who demand both authenticity and innovation.
