Roland TR-1000 compared to OG TR-808 TR-909
video upload by Antony Fewster
"Quick compare of the new Roland TR-1000 to the TR-808 and TR-909. Not intended to be a shootout, more so side by side examples of how the engines compare.
The TR-1000's 808 engines are all analog in this example. The TR-1000's 909 kick and clap are analog, the hats are ACB.
Recorded from main outs on all machines into Apollo x8 into Logic. Normalized audio, exported uncompressed to AIFF. Finally degraded by imovie and youtube."
Update: some additional info via Antony:
"In trying to match the levels (tuning etc), something that was really apparent was that there originals had nowhere left to go - both the 808 and 909 were set to max on the available settings (other than tone for the 808 was was around 12 o’clock). The TR-1000 had headroom for days across every parameter - decay, tuning etc before you even get to the extended parameters, effects, filter etc
I find in the same room the TR-1000 is crisper, clearer, heavier, punchier. I imagine most folks will be dialing things back to sit in the mix vs adding stuff (i.e. when compared to the originals) to make them do their thing.
I know the originals do what they do, but having played the TR-1000 I find myself wondering why the tuing stops ‘here’, or why I can’t add a delay to the hats, and a compressor to the kick as I’m in the flow with the machine - vs going back to the daw, or having to use separate outs into outboard stuff - it’s all very immediate."

Get to grips with the Roland TR-1000 – Producer's Guide
video upload by MusicRadar Tech
"Unveiled earlier this month, Roland’s TR-1000 was always going to cause a stir. This flagship drum machine sits at the top of Roland’s line-up, with a top-end price to match. It’s the first Roland drum machine in more than 40 years to feature analogue sounds, with 16 circuits that mimic those of the iconic TR-808 and TR-909.
To focus solely on the TR-1000’s analogue elements would miss a lot of its highlights though. Alongside these sounds, Roland’s behemoth also features sampling, flexible effects, digital percussion sounds and a well-equipped, creative sequencer.
In our video, we explore the basics of the TR-1000 workflow and explain a few of our favourite creative features, including resampling, timestretching, the Morph crossfader and the master effects.
In this video, we’re using the TR-1000 alongside Erica Synths’ Bassline synth. The TR-1000 is sending MIDI clock to the Bassline sequencer, and the Bassline is routed into the TR-1000’s rear panel input and routed through the Master FX unit.
In this video:
01:40 – Sequencing basics
07:20 – Resampling a drum loop
19:17 – Drum layers
23:05 – Sub steps and probability
24:52 – FX routing
28:45 – Morph
32:23 – Variations and fills"

New Roland TR-1000 RHYTHM CREATOR Incoming
Update: teaser videos added below.
This one was sent in via an anonymous reader. It's apparently from a Sweetwater catalog.
The text reads:
"NEW!
Meet the TR-1000:
Roland's Legacy Rhythms Reborn
Blueprinted with unprecedented potential, the Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator marries historic heat, analog presence, and digital precision into a polychromic powerhouse built on the masterfully re-created circuits of the legendary TR-808 and TR-909 drum machines. Its hybrid architecture houses a trio of synth engines, bringing a prismatic palette of FM, PCM, and VA possibilities to the TR-1000's analog foundations, with ACB modeling supplying the coveted circuit-bent sonics of the 8X and 9X models. Over 2,500 onboard sounds join a wealth of digital and analog effects while the suite of classic-to-contemporary connectivity effortlessly integrates the TR-1000 into any arrangement. Add in cutting-edge Morphing performance controls, next-gen TR-REC sequencing. true-stereo re/sampling, and an unbridled array of sonic contouring tools, and you've only scratch the surface of the TR-1000's kaleidoscopic capabilities — vintage heart, modern soul. and endless exploration waiting to be discovered by you."
If legit, I'm curious how it will compare the the TR-8S. Note the change in design aesthetic. Reminds me of the GAIA with a touch of Elektron gear. Note the Morph slider on the bottom right and display on the top right.

Get the TR909 upfront presences from the TR1000 ... or anything else for that matter!
video upload by Starsky Carr
"How Close Is Close Enough? Is the TR-1000 really a TR-909 replacement… or is that missing the point entirely?
In this deep-dive comparison, I also put the Roland TR-1000 head-to-head with my original Roland TR-909 to see how close we can actually get — and more importantly, where the differences really matter.
Roland are clear: this isn’t meant to be a clone. But with TR-909-style analogue circuits, 808-inspired elements, and ACB models under the hood, it begs the question… can you sell your 909 and fund a TR-1000 instead?
After putting these 2 together I realised the biggest tonal difference isn’t to get that live 909 vibe is the main outputs. The TR-909’s main outs are band-limited, with less low-end and a high-frequency tilt that creates that bright, exciting presence. Using Logic’s Match EQ, I recreate that curve so you can apply it to:

Roland TR-1000 w/ 808 Skin / Accents on Unit: E - Mbali Mbrace (Jam Version)
video upload by Unit: E
"This is a quick jam of the song I'm working on, Mbali Mbrace. Testing out the fx and recording levels. All percussion in this song was sequenced on the @rolandglobal TR-1000. The vocal samples were imported, chopped, transposed, and layered in with the percussion, all within the 1000. The pads and keys were recorded live from the SH-4D, and in through the Ext In of the 1000. All FX are from within the TR-1000."

ROLAND TR-1000 [05] // LØSTLVLS
video upload by LØSTLVLS
"Thought I'd do a Silent Servant-esque deep minimal thing, but before long it ended up way too crowded to be anything like his work. Still, it was a lot of fun! Also become super comfortable with the interface of the TR-1000 over the last few days, more than I ever was with the TR-8S.
The sub is a 303 processed through iZotope Trash 2 then tweaked to work with the kick, which is the analogue 909. The TR-1000 has enough headroom to cope with massive subs, and the analogue drive glues everything together.

"Big thanks to Perfect Circuit [TR-1000 here] for letting me record a bit of the excellent new Roland TR-1000 drum machine. Definitely takes a second to understand the instrument selection and editing process so don’t take this as some musical masterpiece. I was primarily interested in the analog voices so that’s what I was playing with in this clip. But as expected, the machine sounds exactly as it should. I was very impressed with both the build quality and the accurate sound."

ROLAND TR-1000 [02] // LØSTLVLS
video upload by LØSTLVLS
"Exploring the wonky lo-fi glitch-beat side of the TR-1000, inspired by Kona Triangle's Sing a Sapling into Existence album from 2009.
Back in 2014 I got into Teebs, Flying Lotus, Shlohmo, Shigeto and a bunch more, after being obsessed with Nujabes, Five Deez, Shing02, Fat Jon and a bunch of others. Something about dense, ducking textures with thick kicks and wonky percussion sets my soul alight.
The SP-404 was a 'founding piece' of my musical development - while the MPC 1000 was perfection, the SP was portable and performative in ways that perfectly complemented the MPC - I was lucky enough to see Teebs live performing with his two SP-404s and his set was awesome. If you remember the old Roland forums where Flying Lotus personally shared the 'FlyLo Technique' then you officially rock.
Anyway, enjoy!

Alchemical by MSTRBLSTR
Also on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/68lqZLDB2ip4ZOfEg4SsmB?si=m3ba1VD-SSO_CLr4j7OIMg
"The electricity of live manipulation breathes through every sequence as MSTRBLSTR transmutes the raw essence of the TR-606, MC-202, and TB-303 into a sonic incantation. Alchemical is transformation in motion: analog breakbeats pulse with crackling percussion, acid squelches growl and evolve, and rhythms dissolve and reassemble like matter through fire. The bassline becomes the bedrock of energy, conjured live in real time.
Credits
Released May 29, 2025
Programmed, performed, mixed, and mastered by MSTRBLSTR at Ill Acid
Additional drum programming: Severed Machines (https://severedmachines.com)
Hardware:
Modified Roland TR-606 (Robin Whittle mods)
Din Sync RE-303
MC-202 w/ Tubbutec 2oh2 mod
Mixers: Boss BX-8, Alice 1228, Boss KM-4
FX: Tapco 4400 spring reverb, TC Nova Reverb & Delay, Korg SDD-1000/1200
Compression: BSS DPR-402, DOD SR-866
DAW: Ableton Live
This is the same setup I used on From Deep.
Backstory
I brought my TR-606 to Ramiro at Severed Machines to install a few long-desired mods: switch replacements, a louder BD via resistor change, and Robin Whittle’s Accent Trigger and post-volume individual outs. He left in a few patterns, including a breakbeat variation that really hit me. That inspired the synth parts. Next thing I knew, I was performing and recording the full track.
Recording Notes
I treat mixers as modular routers. For Alchemical, the Alice mixer’s direct outs went straight into my interface, while the Boss BX-8 worked as a submixer for overdrive and tone shaping. I panned certain tracks hard L/R into separate buses, then re-centered them on different mixer channels. I have owned many delays while the Korg units are among my favorites, the TC Nova is often a go-to for synths: it sounds great, has nice filters, tap tempo, and my favorite feature, easily accessible time divisions Protip: a buffered pedal in front helps them sound better. The Nova reverb is also very playable and has a dynamic ducking mode that helps it get out of the way, if that's what I need.
In post, I swapped the TR-606 kick for a TR-808 sample in Ableton - it just gave the track the weight it needed. There’s also a lone TR-808 clap halfway through. Other than that, what you hear is live with only some minor edits and additional processing.
__________________________________________________________________
For TR-606 lovers: I highly recommend Robin Whittle’s mods: https://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/tr-606/
The Accent Trigger mod alone is worth it - it adds great performance potential. Robin credited the fix to me, but Ramiro deserves most of the credit. Robin's individual outs (post-volume pot) offer superior performance control and gain staging flexibility compared to the more common pre-pot version."
