Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator

Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator:

The culmination of over 40 years of drum machine innovation

Tomorrow Returns

Carrying forward the legacy of the TR-808 and TR-909, the TR-1000 Rhythm Creator is Roland’s most powerful drum machine yet, purpose-built for today’s producers and performers. It fuses Roland's iconic analog TR sound with advanced digital instruments and sampling, delivering an all-in-one, hybrid platform for rhythm creation. Its hands-on controls and streamlined interface encourage real-time manipulation- from subtle shifts to bold sonic transformations- supported by a sophisticated sequencer and deep sound design tools. Developed in close collaboration with a global community of electronic music artists, the TR-1000 balances an array of cutting-edge technology with performance-minded design to inspire new directions in rhythm.

Features:

• A trifecta of Roland’s classic analog TR sounds, powerful digital processing, and stereo sampling for distinctive, dynamic rhythms.

• The TR-808 + TR-909 analog sound engines capture the boom, snap, warmth, and presence that define the sonic DNA of modern sound. With expanded controls and tuning, TR-1000’s carefully crafted enhancements offer newfound flexibility.

• Advanced digital sound engines offer ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) for high-detail virtual analog modeling, including 19 new circuit-bent 808 / 909 voices, plus FM synthesis, VA waveforms, and PCM for deep sonic exploration and newfound digital textures.

• Stereo sampling and resampling, BPM Sync for loops, real-time time-stretching, and up to 16-slice editing for seamless loop creation and one-shot design.

• Classic TR-style step, real-time, and off-grid sequencing with advanced tools for evolving grooves.

• Dynamic pattern tools add movement and variation using step direction, cycle conditions, probability settings, and more.

• Offers detailed timing resolution and flexible control, making it easy to capture expressive performances with or without quantization.

• Tight sync and clocking with external hardware, modular systems, and DAWs ensure seamless integration, expanding your MIDI setup.

• Link up to 128 patterns with Song Mode to create evolving arrangements for live performance or mapping compositions.

• An instrument built to be played, with dedicated step keys, assignable knobs, and fluid faders for real-time control over every aspect of your performance.

• Assignable morph fader can control multiple parameters for smooth transitions or radical transformations with a single movement.

• Dedicated volume faders and onboard effect controls make it easy to shape sound and create changes on the fly.

• Go deeper with Motion Recording per Step for automated changes or Step Loop for syncopated fills.
