Built on the legacy of Roland's most iconic drum machines, the TR-1000 Rhythm Creator blends analog warmth, digital precision, and sampling freedom into a powerful, genre-spanning instrument. Bridging classic workflows with modern sound design, the TR-1000 is the definitive platform for shaping what comes next. The future is back - and it's in your hands.
The 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 the 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.
Running alongside the TR-1000's analog heart are powerful digital sound engines driven by the latest Roland advancements. Roland's 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.
The TR-1000 functions as a multi-channel USB-C audio/MIDI interface that connects with your favourite computer platform. The versatile USB device port supports flash drives for system, data backup/restore, and WAV audio import/export, plus USB MIDI controllers such as the 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.
