Roland analog, reimagined
TR-1000 is the first Roland drum machine with a true analog engine in over 40 years. It features 16 of the most coveted circuits from 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 brings you the authentic analog TR sound, boosted with new parameters and vastly expanded dynamic range.
Cutting-edge digital
Running alongside TR-1000's analog heart are powerful digital sound engines driven by the latest Roland advancements. Its ever-evolving ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) tech delivers high-detail virtual analog modeling, including 21 circuit-bent 8X and 9X options that let you mangle and manipulate 808 and 909 voices like never before. You also get FM percussion, VA synthesis and a massive library of PCM samples for sonic exploration and newfound digital textures.
Sample, stretch, slice, resample
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 64GB memory comes with a curated collection of 2,500 samples, with 46 GB free for your own captures, edits and sample imports.
Analog and digital effects
TR-1000's rich effects palette includes a new analog state-variable filter inspired by vintage OTA designs, a dedicated analog drive circuit and digital favorites like Crusher, Filter, Isolator, Saturator, Pitch Delay, Flanger and more. Enhance mixes with reverb and delay sends for each track. Then add flavor and movement with a slate of master effects including revered Vinyl Sim processors ported from SP-303 and SP-404.
Deep sound design
Powerful in-line processing makes it easy to sculpt distinctive and dynamic rhythms with 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 effects, internal sidechaining, output routing and a three-target LFO with advanced trigger modes.
Stepping up
TR-1000's advanced sequencer takes the legendary TR workflow to another level. Experience fluid, expressive programming with precision live control, extensive pattern tools and wildly flexible timing. Craft rhythms using classic TR-REC step input, real-time recording and new off-grid programming for more nuanced grooves. And with flexible input modes, it's easy to dial in the feel of a track or slide individual steps to sit just right in the groove.
Dynamic pattern control
Intuitive tools give you the power to program patterns that breathe and evolve with every pass. Use motion recording to capture live parameter changes for modulation and movement. Adjust how each track progresses with direction settings like forward, reverse, pendulum and more. Define cycle conditions to determine when steps play and tap into per-step probability to introduce variation and surprise.
Get off the grid
From machine-locked rhythms to grooves with a human feel, TR-1000 flows smoothly with your timing preferences. Use quantization to keep things tight, or turn it off to capture natural rhythmic variations. Dial in shuffle per track to apply distinct amounts of swing and instantly shift playback timing left/right for quick variations and new rhythmic feels.
Song mode
TR-1000 introduces a comprehensive song mode for hands-free playback of complex arrangements, bringing a new level of performance freedom to multi-instrumentalists, singers and hybrid performers. Link patterns and variations in any order, repeat sections and build full tracks with ease.
Touch, trigger and transform
TR-1000 is made to be played. With a free-flowing layout and loads of direct-access controls, you have instant command over every performance detail. Sculpted, high-grip knobs and smooth, responsive faders are built for riding levels, shaping effects and working transitions with pinpoint precision.
Moments on tap
Using the snapshot feature, you can program playable step buttons that instantly recall any knob position for an instrument. Up to 16 snapshots are available per track, perfect for switching up sounds, effects settings or mix levels with quick presses as you work.
Morph and manipulate
The Morph slider brings another level of expression to the TR experience. It can be assigned to a wide combination of parameters, enabling wild macro control, smooth transitions and radical transformations with simple movements. Unique Morph settings are available in each pattern, ready to imbue every moment in a performance with color and energy.
Built to connect
Made for seamless integration with hybrid setups, modular rigs, and modern studios, the TR-1000 offers the I/O and routing flexibility to support expansive production and performance setups. TR-1000 features a main stereo output, an analog effects output and ten jacks that function as individual audio outputs or analog triggers for external gear. You also have dedicated trigger I/O, a filter/CV input, a clock out and a dual mono/stereo input for sampling and processing signals through TR effects. Finally, there's a front-panel headphone jack with its own level control for easy monitoring.
USB, MIDI and DIN sync
TR-1000 functions as a multi-channel USB-C audio/MIDI interface that connects with your favorite computer platform. The versatile USB-to-device port supports flash drives for system, data backup/restore and WAV audio import/export, plus USB MIDI controllers such as Roland A-49 or A-Pro series. Comprehensive MIDI I/O is available too, along with DIN sync to lock with pre-MIDI synths and drum machines.
TR-1000 app
TR-1000 app brings hardware control directly within your computer production space. This powerful software offers a large display for realtime parameter editing, a librarian for organizing your personal sound collection and more.
Future-proofed
TR-1000 runs on a robust DSP and firmware platform designed to support future sound engines, new features and system updates, extending the life and capability of your instrument for years to come.
