The sequencer has adjustable flams and sub-steps so you can create detailed fills and ratcheting sequences. The classic 16-step 'TR-REC' sequencer expands to include a sequencer lane for each drum instrument so you can program faster and more fluidly. Each pattern has eight variations so you can create evolving sequences that keep things interesting. All this painstaking detail means you can finally have the authentic sound and vibe of a real 909 in your DAW-and now with some exciting, modern enhancements. It’s what gave the 909 cymbals their characteristic sound, making them a perennial favorite of dance music producers the world over. So, in addition to detailed behavior models of the analog circuits, we’ve integrated the original sample ROM, and even modeled the primitive digital technology present in the vintage hardware. Using our next-generation circuit modeling technology, we’ve faithfully recreated the original circuitry that gave the TR-909 its distinctive sound-including its analog-digital hybrid nature. And while the 909 is often imitated with sound-alike sample-packs and less-than-faithful emulations, a real 909 feels alive and injects that special something into a track. It’s why original 909s go for thousands of dollars on the used market. Its interface and the way the sounds interact with each other and change their character with knob tweaks are all part of the experience. And like many vintage Roland instruments, it was far more than the sum of its parts.

While the 808 may get more of the limelight, the 909 sparked something in musicians and producers of the day, making it the rhythmic foundation of trailblazing new genres like house, techno and hip-hop. Since its release more than four decades ago, the TR-909 has joined the hallowed halls of legendary instruments alongside its older sibling, the TR-808. It’s the sound you hear in your head when you think of speaker-pummeling, floor-shaking dance music. The result was one of the most beloved and influential musical instruments ever made. So, Roland took a hybrid approach that used analog circuitry for the kick, snare, hi-hat, clap, and toms, and used digital sampling for the cymbals. Digital samples of “real drums” had become fashionable, but these sounds were not tweakable and, let’s be honest, still didn’t sound like real drums. Only around 10,000 were made, but the influence of this machine is heard, and felt, to this very day. In 1983, Roland followed the massively influential TR-808 with the TR-909.
