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.

Roland analog, reimagined

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.

Cutting-edge digital

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.

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 64 GB memory comes with a curated collection of 2000 samples, with 46 GB free for your own captures, edits, and sample imports.

Analog and digital effects

The TR-1000’s rich effects palette includes a new analog State Variable Filter (SVF) inspired by vintage OTA designs, a dedicated analog drive circuit, and digital favorites like Crusher, Filter, Isolator, Saturator, Pitch Delay, Flanger, and many others. There are also reverb and delay sends for each track and a slate of Master FX for processing the sound output.

Deep sound design

Powerful in-line processing makes it easy to sculpt distinctive and dynamic rhythms with the 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 FX, internal sidechaining, output routing, and a three-target LFO.

Stepping up

The 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.

Touch, trigger, and transform

The 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 FX, and working transitions with pinpoint precision. With the new snapshot feature, you can program playable step buttons that instantly recall any knob position for an instrument.

Morph and manipulate

The new 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

The TR-1000 features a main stereo output, an analog FX 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

The TR-1000 functions as a multi-channel USB-C audio/MIDI interface that connects with your favorite 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.

TR-1000 App

The TR-1000 App allows you to control the hardware from your computer, offering a large display for realtime parameter editing, a librarian for organizing your personal sound collection, and more.

Future-proofed

The 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.
