Roland TR-1000 In-Depth Exploration
Synthesist Matthew Piecora – in his latest EZBOT video – expl0res the new Roland TR-1000 drum machine.
The TR-1000 is the first Roland drum machine in over 40 years with true analog voices, and it goes far beyond the 808 and 909 with digital sound and sampling technologies.
Piecora digs into the TR-1000’s production workflow, compares it to recent Elektron boxes, and connects it to an OP-XY and builds some grooves.
Video Summary:
“The TR-1000 is a strange and wonderful machine that constantly has me returning to the manual to see if it can do “this or that” and often finding out it can do most things you throw at it. How does it compare to an Elektron machine? How does it sound? Is the workflow clunky or is it smooth? Could this be an addition to your setup or a stand alone machine? All this and more, this time on 120 minutes. Additionally we will talk smack about the OP-XY while also drooling on it at the same time.
