via this Reverb listing
"It was released between 1981 and 1984 as the successor to the TR-808, and its unique textured sound can still be heard today in sound sources by a wide variety of artists.
Today's rhythm machines, synths, modules, and software sound generators also feature the 909 sound, making it an indispensable essence for production.
It is the classic sound of machine drums. It is truly a masterpiece of a rhythm machine.
Compared to the TR-808, which uses a full analog sound source, the 909 uses a PCM sound source with 6-bit sampling for the cymbal system.
This hybrid approach is inherited from the TR-808 in terms of the thick kick and toms produced by the analog circuitry, while digital sampling is used for the cymbals.
The unique "that" hardware sound by low-bit sampling. This distinctive sound and the TR-REC sequencer helped solidify its position. House and techno are genres spawned by the 909's sound, and might not have existed without it."
