Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator

Analogue and digital effectsThe TR-1000’s extensive range of effects includes a new analogue 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 designPowerful 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 upThe 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 controlIntuitive 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 transformThe 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 manipulateThe 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 colour and energy.

Built to connectThe TR-1000 features a main stereo output, an analogue 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 syncThe 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 AppThe TR-1000 App brings hardware control directly within your computer production space. This powerful software offers a large display for real-time parameter editing, a librarian for organizing your personal sound collection, and more.

Future-proofedThe 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.
