Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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