Let the rhythm hit 'em. Roland's TR-909 is one of the most influential drum machines in recent memory. Used on countless records, the influence of the TR-909 drum machine is still heard—and felt—on the dance floor, more than three decades after it's original release. Now with the TR-09, the legendary 909 sound is available as part of the Roland Boutique series to a new generation of producers. Featuring the same front-panel layout and user interface of the original (and iconic orange + beige colorway), the TR-09 is powered by Roland’s ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) technology, delivering the speaker-pummelling power of the TR-909 in a super-affordable and portable format. Offering precise control over an array of drum parameters and the ability to keep playing when switching modes, the TR-09 may be compact, but it still has the power to move people. Studio sessions are well catered for too, with four separate outputs via USB audio, external instrument control via a trigger output, and USB MIDI.
