Comprehensive sample tools are fully integrated into the TR-1000 workflow, including stereo sampling and resampling, BPM sync, seamless time-stretching, and non-destructive slice editing. The onboard 64 GB memory comes with a curated collection of 2,000 samples, with 46 GB free for your own captures, edits, and sample imports.

Analog and Digital Effects:
- Refine and transform with the TR-1000’s rich palette of tactile effects. Shape sounds with the new analog state-variable filter (SVF) inspired by classic Roland OTA designs. Add saturated punch using the dedicated analog drive. Color tones with digital favorites like crusher, filter, isolator, saturator, pitch delay, flanger, and more. Enhance the mix with reverb and delay sends for each track, and then add additional flavor and movement with a slate of master effects.

Deep Sound Design:
- Powerful in-line processing makes it easy to sculpt distinctive and dynamic rhythms with the TR-1000. Each track combines a model-specific sound generator, compressor, multimode filter/four-band EQ, and amp/envelope control. Four of the available tracks allow for two independent sound generators to be stacked or programmed separately, complete with per-track FX, internal sidechaining, output routing, and a three-target LFO.

Stepping Up:
- The TR-1000’s advanced sequencer expands the legendary TR workflow with a focus on feel and flexibility. Program sounds fast, perform with intent, and shape rhythms in real time using extensive pattern tools, expressive controls, and deep timing options.

From Locked to Loaded:
- The TR-1000 makes sequencing feel alive, whether you’re programming tight techno patterns or drifting into loose, lopsided grooves. Lock in with classic TR-REC step input, real-time recording, or new off-grid options to push or pull the pocket. Flexible input modes let you dial in the right feel and nudge individual steps until the groove hits just right.

Dynamic Pattern Control:
- Intuitive tools give you the power to program grooves that breathe and evolve with every pass. Use motion recording to capture live parameter changes for modulation and movement. Control how each track progresses with direction settings like forward, reverse, pendulum, and more. Define cycle conditions to determine when steps play and tap into per-step probability to introduce variation and surprise.

Get Off the Grid:
- From machine-locked rhythms to grooves with a human feel, the TR-1000 flows smoothly with your timing preferences. Use quantization to keep things tight. Or turn it off to capture natural rhythmic variations.
