Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator
Item No. : 211355
The specialist's opinion
Heir to Roland's most iconic drum machines, the TR-1000 Rhythm Creator combines the warmth of analog, the precision of digital and the freedom of sampling in a powerful instrument suitable for all genres.
Blending classic programming with modern sound designs, the TR-1000 is the definitive platform for creating the rhythms of the future.
The future is back, and it's in your hands. The TR-1000 is Roland's first truly analog-generator drum machine in over 40 years. It features 16 of the most sought-after circuits from the TR-808 and TR-909, faithfully recreated from the original instruments thanks to detailed engineering and carefully selected modern components. Combining vintage spirit with extensive controls, this generator delivers authentic analog TR sounds, but boosted by new parameters and a vastly increased dynamic range.
Highlights
- The most detailed and powerful Rhythm box ever created by Roland.
- A new TR-808 and TR-909 classic analog tone generator, delivering vintage feel with a modern flavor thanks to a wider range of settings and parameters not available on the original instruments.
- ACB modeling provides a wide range of sounds, including 21 circuit-transforming 8X and 9X models, which propel the 808 and 909 sounds into new creative dimensions.
- FM, VA and PCM generators for creating bass lines, synth sounds and wild digital textures.
- An advanced sampler with over 2,000 built-in sounds, stereo sampling and resampling, tempo sync, time-stretch, non-destructive slice editing and 46GB of memory for personal samples.
- A next-generation TR-REC step sequencer with off-grid control, cycle, rotation, track or step start selection, direction, motion recording and probabilities.
- Four stackable tracks to create detailed drums and enhance sequences.
- A stereo analog effects section with new State-Variable Filter (SVF), analog drive and external routings.
- Live effects manipulation with MORPH slider, Snapshot and Step Loop to produce rhythmic variations.
- Full connectivity with stereo MIX OUT, individual instrument outputs, analog FX output and dual mono/stereo input for external instruments.
- MIDI In/Out, Trigger In/Out, DIN sync, Clock Out and Filter CV input.
- Control input for an expression pedal or footswitch.
- Multichannel audio/MIDI interface via USB-C.
- A versatile USB Device port for connecting an external Roland MIDI controller or USB Key for updates, backups and restores and sample import/export.
Alongside the TR-1000's analog heart are powerful digital generators powered by Roland's latest innovations. Our constantly evolving ACB technology ensures hyper-detailed virtual analog modeling. 21 circuit-transforming 8X and 9X options let you blend and manipulate 808 and 909 sounds like never before. You also get FM percussion, VA synthesis and a huge PCM sample library to explore and create new digital textures.
The many sampling tools are fully integrated with TR-1000 programming: stereo sampling and resampling, tempo synchronization, distortion-free time-stretching and non-destructive slice editing. The 64 GB on-board memory holds a collection of 2,000 samples, with 46 GB for personal samples.
