FULL SPECTRUM SOUND

The shape of sound to come.

From the foundational to the experimental, the TR-1000 does it all. Conceive, create, and perform with a complete range of premium drum sounds, powered by analog, digital, and sampling engines with advanced tone-shaping and layered track architecture.

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 delivers the authentic analog TR sound, boosted with new parameters and vastly expanded dynamic range.

Rewriting the rules of rhythm.

Alongside the TR-1000’s analog sounds are powerful digital engines driven by Roland’s latest modeling technology. Our ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) platform provides detailed analog circuit emulations, including 21 circuit-bent 8X and 9X models. Drawing from the 808 and 909, these new voices include quick-access parameters for live shaping and expanded controls that push the sound far beyond the range of conventional analog. You also get FM percussion, virtual analog synthesis, and a deep library of PCM samples for sonic exploration and fresh digital textures.

Sample, stretch, slice, resample.

Classic TR instruments laid the foundations for countless electronic music genres—and when paired with digital sampling, their influence deepened. 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.

Refine and transform with the TR-1000’s rich palette of tactile effects. Shape sounds with the new analog state-variable filter (SVF) inspired by classic Roland OTA designs. Add saturated punch using the dedicated analog drive. Color tones with digital favorites like crusher, filter, isolator, saturator, pitch delay, flanger, and more. Enhance the mix with reverb and delay sends for each track, and then add additional flavor and movement with a slate of master effects.

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.

 

SEQUENCER

Stepping up.

The TR-1000’s advanced sequencer expands the legendary TR workflow with a focus on feel and flexibility. Program sounds fast, perform with intent, and shape rhythms in real time using extensive pattern tools, expressive controls, and deep timing options.

From locked to loaded.

The TR-1000 makes sequencing feel alive, whether you’re programming tight techno patterns or drifting into loose, lopsided grooves. Lock in with classic TR-REC step input, real-time recording, or new off-grid options to push or pull the pocket. Flexible input modes let you dial in the right feel and nudge individual steps until the groove hits just right.

Dynamic pattern control.

Intuitive tools give you the power to program grooves that breathe and evolve with every pass. Use motion recording to capture live parameter changes for modulation and movement. Control 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, the 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.

Seamless sync.

Keep your entire studio or live setup unified with the TR-1000 as the centerpiece. Thanks to a wide range of connectivity options, you can effortlessly lock with Eurorack hardware, vintage gear, and DAWs.

Song mode.

The 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.

 

TACTILE INTERFACE

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.

The interface is your instrument.

The TR-1000’s ergonomic panel encourages exploration and real-time creation. Sculpted, high-grip knobs and smooth, responsive faders are built for riding levels, shaping FX, and working transitions with pinpoint precision.

Classic step keys.

Durable keys with RGB indicators deliver an expressive, time-tested matrix for rhythm creation and sound control. Use them for classic TR-REC step programming, tapping out drums in real time, changing dynamics with 16 velocity steps, sample slicing, and more.

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 to light up your performances with color and energy.

Moments on tap.

With the TR-1000’s new 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, FX settings, or mix levels with quick presses as you work.

 

CONNECTIVITY

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.

Pro I/O.

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 updates, 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 real-time parameter editing, a librarian for organizing your personal sound collection, and more.

 

EVOLUTION

Future-proofed.

Designed with a future-focused architecture, the TR-1000 is a long-term creative partner made to evolve with you.

Artist-informed workflow.

Roland’s engineers created the original TRs, laying the foundation for decades of rhythm innovation. But it was artists who brought those machines to life. With the TR-1000, we worked closely with today’s producers and performers to craft an instrument grounded in real-world creativity and the features that forward-thinking artists need.

Robust and rugged.

Many TR-808s and TR-909s remain in daily use over four decades after their creation. The TR-1000 is also built for the long haul, supported by a high-grade aluminum panel, steel chassis, and top-quality components throughout. A universal internal power supply and fan-free thermal design ensure quiet, efficient operation through every creative session and live show.

An updatable platform.

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.
