Roland TR-1000 Drum Machine Review & Demo
Host Ziv Eliraz – in his latest loopop review – shares an in-depth review and demo of the new Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Creator drum machine.
The TR-1000 builds on Roland’s drum machine legacy, combining the analog capabilities of the classic TR-808 and TR-909, digital synthesis, sampling and more.
The hour+ video digs into the TR-1000’s sound engines, the user interface, build quality, sampling, sequencing and more.
Eliraz cites the Roland TR-1000’s cost and massive size as potential cons. On the pros side, he calls the TR-1000 “The most performance-oriented, versatile and feature-rich drum machine I’ve ever used.”
