\n\tRoland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator\t<\/figcaption><\/p><\/figure>\n

Roland has largely decided sit out the analog synth renaissance of the last decade. But it\u2019s (belatedly) making amends for that error with the launch of the TR-1000<\/a> Rhythm Generator. Unlike previous instruments that tried to cash in on Roland\u2019s long legacy through digital<\/a> technologies like its Zen-Core engine, Analogue Circuit Behavior (ACB<\/a>) modeling, and Roland Cloud subscription service, the TR-1000<\/a> embraces the true analog sound of iconic Roland machines like the TR-808 and TR-909, <\/p>\n

Unlike other TR instruments from Roland over the last several years that simply invoke the branding<\/a>, the TR-1000 actually recreates 16 analog sound circuits from the 808 and the 909 while adding plenty of modern sound-shaping and sequencing conveniences. It pairs those authentic analog voices with digital ACB sound, FM percussion, PCM samples, and more. The TR-1000 even has extensive sampling<\/a> tools for time stretching loops and chopping up drum breaks. In short, if there is a way to make a percussive sound, Roland has crammed it into this very serious looking (and very expensive) gray box.<\/p>\n

Roland decided to lean even further into the analog world here, by including a stereo analog filter and drive section for adding grit and creating buildups. There are also a ton of knobs, buttons, and faders on the front that suggest made the TR-1000 will require less diving through arcane menus than your typical modern Roland instrument. While it does have some performance-friendly features, its substantial bulk seems best suited to a desk in a recording studio.<\/p>\n

All of these luxuries will set you back quite a bit \u2014 $2,699.99 to be exact, which means the TR-1000 isn\u2019t for casual hobbyists. Still, that\u2019s about half of what a functioning TR-808 or TR-909 will cost you on the vintage market so, maybe the TR-1000 is actually a bargain?<\/p>\n
