General
Roland's TR-09 Rhythm Composer is a compact drum computer module from the Boutique series that was based on the popular and influential 1980s TR-909 drum machine. This version gives you the same sounds and options as the original, and adds modern features like USB. The TR-09 has been given the same vintage layout as the original 909, so if you've ever worked with it, this module will be familiar to you.
Roland TR-09 Rhythm Composer
The TR-909 drum computer had a sound that was unique and instantly recognisable. That was down to its analogue tom, snare and bass drums mixed with 6-bit cymbal samples. Roland's ACB technology now makes it possible to tweak the sound using different parameters. A familiar feature to those who have worked with the TR-909 is the TR-REC recording function that gives you the choice between Step or Tap. Unlike the old version, it's possible to switch between various modes while the current pattern is playing. The TR-09 can be powered via its USB port or by four AA batteries, making it portable too.
Connectors
The TR-09 has a number of connectors on board so that you can use it together with other devices, including other synths from Roland's Boutique series. The main stereo mini jack output allows you to send a selected instrument to the right channel, while other instruments can be sent to the left channel. External audio can be sent to the main outputs via the mix input. Analogue synths like the JX-30 or the SH-101 can be connected using the trigger inputs. Communication with other devices is possible via the USB and MIDI ports. This makes it possible to send audio from four separate devices to your favourite DAW software, for example.

Top. De sound is identiek aan zijn voorvader, de basskick vind ik zelfs beter te controleren. Voor wie techno maakt een beetje een basismachientje die nergens zal misstaan. Enigste minpunt zou ik het gebrek aan meegeleverde kabeltjes noemen, maar ja, in een studio verzuip je sowieso in de kabels dus easy fixed.
Supersimpel in gebruik, inpluggen, wat basisdingen bekijken en hopla, rammen maar :D
Kan em heel hard aanraden. Jammer dat BPost er een week of twee mee heeft rondgereden, maar kijk, niks waar Bax aan kon doen en ze hielpen me snel verder.

Zeer tevreden of dit product ik maak techno is erg makkelijk in gebruik.
Werkt goed samen met ableton 10.
Ik raad dit product aan.
En voor deze prijs is hij het zeker waard.
Simpel in gebruik mooi strak geluid.
Het geluid viel me meteen op. Dacht eerst dat het geluid een stuk minder zou zijn maar dat is zeer zeker het geval niet.maak je dance/techno raad ik deze zeer zeker aan en een goede straks levering van Bax ook nog wat wil je nog meer klim en koop

Beste Bax, bij de specificaties staat een fout, dit apparaat heeft namelijk een digitale klankbron ipv een analoge! De ACB technologie van Roland bootst analoge componenten na maar is in feite digitaal.

Geachte Bax-Shop,
Bij mijn exemplaar sluit de ''boutique'' case niet geheel om het apparaat. Er blijft aan de rechter voorkant een ruimte open terwijl het links wel aansluit.
On September 9, 2016, the very first 24-hour online music event hosted by Roland took place, which was nothing short of a tsunami of all kinds of new products. As we've come to expect from Roland, they've introduced some products synth-lovers are sure to appreciate, including the Roland SYSTEM-8 and three new Roland Boutique synth modules.
On September 9, 2016, something remarkable is going to happen. Roland will present the very first world-wide 24-hour online streaming music festival to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of their legendary TR-909 drum machine. Besides various live acts, performances, and product demonstrations, they will launch more than 30 new products from eight major cities around the globe. If you don't want to miss the kick off, set your alarm for 5:00 AM (6 AM CET) on September 9th! You can follow the whole thing live via this link and use the hashtag #909day to stay up to date via social media.
