Last week, Roland posted a teaser to its website headlined by the words ‘tomorrow returns’ accompanied by what sounded like a processed TR-808 drum beat. Now the company has unveiled the inspiration behind that cryptic post – its new flagship TR-1000 drum machine.
The TR-1000 is a significant new release for Roland. Not only is it a feature-packed, multi-functional instrument that sits right at the top of the company’s range of drum machines and grooveboxes, but it’s also the first Roland drum machine in over 40 years to come equipped with true analogue voices.
