  • Hi this is Leonard from Kosmic Sound and this is an exciting new product from

  • Roland in their boutique series and it is the TR-09, a perfect little recreation of

  • the TR-909 drum machine from the 1980's.

  • Before we get into talking about the specifics of this machine, let's just

  • cover a couple of things. First of all the TR-909 itself was a classic piece of

  • hardware made in 1984 and 1985. It began effectively the sound of house and

  • techno. If you've produced house or techno or even if you listen to it you

  • will be familiar with the sounds in this machine although a lot of us have had to

  • use either samples or plugins for a long time. The technology that goes into these

  • is Roland ACB proprietary technology - which is a component modeling system.

  • So where as a lot of other virtual analogs will model the waveforms from original

  • hardware, they actually model the structure of the components of the piece of hardware

  • and that gives them a better opportunity to create a perfect recreation of it.

  • Before we get into talking about this machine and how it actually functions I

  • just want to quickly refer you over to the TR-8 because we've got a bit of a

  • comparison going on here as the sounds of the TR-909 are also in here.

  • You'll see this first of all there's a bit of a difference in size. We have a few extra

  • controls on the TR-8 which you'd expect being a more modern machine. But what we have

  • on the TR-09 is much more authentic recreation in terms of feel and use.

  • Of course it is much smaller so they have actually changed a couple of things most

  • notably the sequencer row here so these are little click buttons rather than the

  • bigger push buttons on the TR-909 but that's exactly what you'd expect on a

  • smaller machine. To the TR-09 itself now. So on the front panel like I said we've

  • pretty much got everything you'd expect to find on a TR-909. I'll just run you quickly

  • through it. We've got stop-and-start controls here. We've got a few controls

  • here we can control the parameters pretty much of the sequence and more

  • than anything else and we can also select instruments and we've got a shift

  • which gives us the secondary functions that you can see under this row of

  • buttons. In terms of the instruments we have exactly what you'd find on the

  • TR-909 - bass, snare, three toms,

  • rimshot, clap, closed and open hi-hats, crash cymbal and ride cymbal.

  • The sequencer of course looks exactly the same as well and even this row of

  • controls along the top is almost exactly what you'll find on a TR-909.

  • There's a couple of small differences there.

  • Below here is your enter key and your total accent control which i'm going to show

  • you how all of this works.

  • That's having a look at the actual physical functions on the front panel.

  • What we have going on the back we've got MIDI in-out here, we've also got your mix in's

  • so you can send other signals through the machine if you want to actually run

  • everything into it or one other thing into and out to your sound system

  • rather than having to use a mixer you can do that. We've got two outputs so

  • this is your main output and your phones, then your volume control,

  • your power for this units delivered from micro USB - you can connect it to a

  • computer or if you have a power adapter that takes USB you can use it with that too.

  • It's also battery-powered, also has a built-in speaker as well if you're not

  • actually connected to anything. The sound so great if you're traveling and you

  • just wanted to make some patterns while you're on the road then this is the

  • perfect thing for doing that.

  • There are a couple of other things that you'll find on this machine that is not on a TR-909.

  • First of all we have a compressor, so we can hit the compressor button there

  • and then we can dial in the amount of compression that we want.

  • And I'll show you what that sounds like a little bit later.

  • And the second one is this trigger out. So on the TR-909 there was a trigger out which was based

  • of the rim shot. So whatever was programmed there would send out trigger pulses

  • which you could use trigger other pieces of hardware.

  • On here we actually have a distinct trigger out in itself. So even though it's located up here

  • we can actually program in our own trigger out pattern that will be sent from that port

  • which again I'll show you when we get in to actually programming.

  • Let's now play something - we've got four tracks that we can play.

  • So what these are is a sequence of patterns, I'll again come back to that a little bit later.

  • Then we have three pattern groups and inside each one of those we have 16 patterns.

  • Which are triggered using the buttons along the bottom. Let's just get something playing.

  • There's a lot of patterns built in already of coarse. This is the kind of machine you're

  • gonna be programming your own. So if you need to do that you can actually overwrite the ones that are already in there.

  • Although there are a lot of slots there, I think you have 96 patterns in total.

  • Let's play something now. So what I'm going to do first of all I'm going to select

  • my bank group and pattern. So well go shift - and you'll see as well we have the little orange box

  • there that denotes that what we are going to be doing when we press these buttons is effect

  • what we can see here, so shift - first of all I'm going to jump over to bank one

  • where we've got some preset patterns in there. This is the kind of machine that you're going to program

  • program you own anyway, but they've got some in there anyway you can overwrite if you want.

  • Next thing I need to do is make sure I'm in a pattern group. So we've got one, two and three.

  • And then I can choose any one of the 16 pads. For a total of 96 patterns that we can have in here.

  • Which is plenty for anybody. So I'm on pattern group one.

  • and I'm on my first patch here so all I need to do is hit play.

  • So what I'm noticing now is we're actually in track mode so we're actually running through a sequence of bars.

  • If you don't want to be in track mode just hit pattern play one. And then we're just going to play a single pattern.

  • So off we go, and I can change what that pattern is just by hitting the button's along here and

  • they'll trigger after a bar finishes.

  • And like I said these are all built in already but there overwrite-able.

  • So while we've got this going lets just have a quick check of that compressor. So I'm going to

  • jump into compressor mode.

  • So it's actually quite a subtle compression, you don't really sort of notice a lot until you give

  • the bass drum a bit more.

  • And then you'll sort of notice as I turn it down it drops a bit of level.

  • So that's the compressor. Let's have a look at the actual controls of each of the instruments now.

  • So exactly the same as whats on the TR-8 so there's no real difference here.

  • On your kick drum you've got tune control.

  • What i'll do is actually turn these down.

  • So here's your kick drum.

  • We can tune it in. You've got your decay control and you attack.

  • Next one over's the snare drum.

  • You've got control over the tune. You can also control the tone and the snap on it.

  • And if you've used 909 sample packs before or one shot samples you'll appreciate the beauty

  • of being able to actually dial this in rather than having to work through a whole sequence of samples to find the perfect snare.

  • Next up let's move over to the toms.

  • I think we've actually only got the low end and the mid programmed into this pattern.

  • We don't have a lot of control on these. These your tune,

  • and your decay.

  • Then we'll move over next to the rimshot

  • On this one you only have a basic level control.

  • Then we've got our hi-hats probably the most distinctive sound of the tr-909 is

  • that open hi-hat we know from everywhere.

  • Here's the clap again one of those characteristics sounds that we all know.

  • The ride cymbal there and there's a crash cymbal on here.

  • There is something really important to be said here which is if we look over at the TR-8

  • again we have some extra controls on here that we don't see on the TR-09

  • And that is basically because the TR-909 did not have them.

  • But, the folks at Roland have put in those extra controls through your menu system.

  • And the way we do that we're going to go shift and then you'll see down here

  • we're on the compressor button we've got edit what your first notice here is we

  • have three parameters so we can affect the gain which is great if you find say

  • for example the clap on this is quite loud if you want to move that knob

  • totally from the bottom to the top then you could turn down the gain of that

  • particular instrument to give you that ability.

  • The second thing we can do is to tune instruments. So again if we look back

  • over here the TR-8 we have tune on the rim shot for example. So we can now do

  • that to the rim shot here which only on this machine has a level control. What

  • I'm going to do is just bring up the rim shot by itself. So i'm going to select

  • tune. I'm going to tell it I want to control the rim shot.

  • And there it is, we can tune that rim shot. We can go - if we get back down to zero

  • we can go negative as well.

  • So you can really set that wherever you want it. I'm now going to

  • jump back into that edit mode again. This time i'm going to select decay or hit

  • enter then I choose my instrument which in this case is going to be my ride

  • cymbal. Now we've got the ride selected we're at a hundred percent at the moment

  • I'm going to turn up my ride

  • and then what I can now do is start turning this decay time down.

  • So there's a couple more button presses to get these things than what you have on the

  • TR-8 but it's all still in there so you're not really losing anything by

  • working on the TR-09 by comparison.

  • Alright so that's basically the instruments that are in there. That shows you the sounds.

  • Let's now take a look at how you would sequence a pattern. What I'm going to

  • do here we'll get out of this right back to the beginning here. First thing I

  • probably want to do is set my tempo. You've got tempo control right

  • here if you want to actually get more detailed than one beat per minute. You

  • hold down shift and then this gives you increments of a hundreth so you

  • so you have plenty of fine control over it if you're needing to try and synch this with

  • something else. Now we've looked at all the things that are on here let's look

  • at writing a pattern so first thing we're going to do is select a pattern.

  • So I'm going to go shift. I'll actually go over to the second bank so now I'm in

  • bank two. Let's stick with pattern write group one. So I'm going to hold down

  • shift - when I hit this will start flashing. So now we're in pattern write

  • mode. Now there's already a pattern in here but quickly before I move on to

  • show you how to put a pattern let's just have a look at the scale button here.

  • So what I can do with this you can see I'm basically changing what each

  • step represents. Sort of a triplet pattern. Most of the time you'd probably

  • be working in this mode which is just your standard four steps per beat.

  • So let's stop this what I'm going to do now is clear this pattern so we've got

  • something completely blank. So we'll clear that now when I hit start nothing's there.

  • And bear in mind what I'm showing you here is exactly how the TR-909 would

  • have been programmed as well there's effectively no difference.

  • So first thing I need to do is select my instrument. So you notice that a lot of

  • the instruments most of them actually have two buttons per instrument and in

  • this particular way of programming all you need to do is use one of them.

  • We'll hold down instrument select. I can actually select either one of those and

  • it'll be the bass drum programmed in. Before you can start programming the

  • pattern so i'm looking at i'm in pattern number one as well I could have chosen

  • any of these and it it would have still worked. So i'm going to hit play

  • once we start seeing the light chasing across the steps now we're actually

  • ready to program. So again I can hold down instrument select at any point it will

  • show me what instrument I've got programmed. So the first thing

  • we notice here is the level i'm getting out of this is not what I had before

  • with the inbuilt patterns and that is because there are actually two volumes of step

  • we can use on the bass drum, snare drum, the toms and the closed hi-hat only. We

  • actually have two different volumes so I'm gonna hit this again

  • now we'll get full volume on these steps and in the options you can actually

  • change the order this work so you can have it so that the first press gives

  • you the full volume and the second press will give you half volume so here's our

  • kick drum. At this point you know you you can dial things in you can tune this

  • and adjust your levels, shape the drum.

  • Next I'm going to do is enter the the traditional, I suppose hihat pattern so

  • what I'm probably going to do is first of all is just drop all of these on.

  • Get some of this.

  • If anyone's familiar with Jeff Mills you sort of start to

  • recognize that these are the sort of things he does. You got your decay control. Now what

  • I want to do also here is throw in some open hi-hats. What you notice when I hold

  • down the instrument select on this it's exactly the same as all the other ones

  • that we have a closed an open. If I want an open what I have to do is press both of

  • them. Now I'm on open.

  • And what happens here is where I've actually added these open hi-hats

  • it's removed them from the closed hi-hat. The open hi-hat will be gated by the closed

  • hi-hat when that next triggers. So again I've got some decay control over that.

  • Now at this point I'm not happy with the pitch of this

  • open hi-hat but because I don't have a pitch knob on here i'm going to have to

  • go in and do the edit again. I'm going to select edit going to move this one over

  • to tune and hit enter now I'm ready to go on the open hi-hat and there it is. So we

  • can tune that right down we cun tune it right up.

  • Just leave it at its flat level there so we've already looked at how we can

  • control the ride cymbal so let's maybe put a few of those in there.

  • What I'm noticing on this one is the ride's actually quite quiet. So I'm going

  • to jump in here. Edit mode again we're going to gain this time to select a ride

  • so I got some more level on the ride now. Let's jump back out maybe turn down these decay times as well.

  • Now the cool thing with the 909 as well the toms in them are

  • quite useful you can make bass lines with them essentially. So let's have a

  • look what we can do with the low tom. Let's jump in there.

  • Let's get some level.

  • Now let's move on to the mid

  • And let's move over now to the hi tom

  • If we get rid of our ride now for a second I'll just show you -

  • So we've got just the tom's playing and what you can do here is actually tune them in.

  • Drop that kick drum back in.

  • Let's add some clap now.

  • This is where it can get maybe a little bit interesting so lets try this compressor out now.

  • Let's not go crazy and it will just leave it there. Now the snare drums also

  • a really interesting thing to use on this it's a really nice big noisy snare drum

  • I'm gonna actually use this more in a context of using it for build-up than you would as a snare drum.

  • And you notice you get some really different characters out of the snare drum. So if I drop it back to that -

  • We can also almost get sort of a tom like quality out of it as well.

  • Let's look at the rim shot.

  • So what we've got is actually a really powerful machine. You can get a lot done

  • with it and it gives you that sort of classic house or techno sound it works

  • perfectly in any track. Of course you can layer with other drum sounds in your software

  • if you wanted to use it that way and as you can see it's actually great as a

  • live tool as well as I mentioned you can see Jeff Mills playing these a lot and

  • he'll play it almost with nothing else or actually for long periods with

  • nothing else. It's really quite a versatile little machine even though

  • only has a few sounds in it and from the point of view of someone actually using it.

  • it's great fun it feels authentic when you stand in front of it

  • The other thing I didn't mention before which is the crash cymbal. So just show

  • what that sounds like.

  • And we have a tuner for that as well.

  • I should mention as well that on the TR-909 it wasn't a totally analog machine it was actually a hybrid.

  • And I think it was probably one of the first machines to do that if not the first.

  • So all the drums and the the toms and the rim shot and the clap are all

  • analog synthesis. All the cymbols are actually little samples so you sort of

  • have the best of both worlds.

  • So let's have a look at a couple of other things I can do this with now that it's

  • playing I'll just get rid of that crash cymbal. First thing I want to do is control the

  • shuffle of this pattern. So i'm going to hold down shuffle. I can do this two

  • different ways actually so i can either use the knob or I can use one to seven here.

  • Just select pre-programmed values or off for number eight.

  • The other thing we can do is get rid of all these other things. So we can have flam

  • on any of the instruments between here. So your bass drum, snare drum and your

  • toms. So the way I'm going to do this I'm gonna hit instrument select, gonna hit

  • snare drum. So I press both of them to get to the flam setting. Now let's

  • turn down everything i'm not using just so you can hear what this does.

  • So now I just got that snare drum playing and wherever I put a trigger a

  • step now will be a flam.

  • And what we can do is adjust the distance of that flam - holding down this button.

  • And that's really close together up this end.

  • much further apart

  • Let's turn those off

  • There's another way we can enter patterns too - so I'd hold down shift and

  • i'm going to hit tap so this works kind of like just by playing the drums this

  • is probably the only thing for me where the little tiny buttons are not particularly wonderful.

  • So what you do is we hit start.

  • And it's as simple as that.

  • So you just play in the rhythm that you want and then the next bar over it's in

  • the pattern and it's quantized. So as I said it doesn't feel particularly

  • wonderful doing it that way and I don't think a lot of people would use it that

  • way anyway. To fix that if I wanted to do that I can jump back very easily into step mode.

  • Start playing, select my bass drum and then I can just get rid of the extra

  • steps I created there.

  • So now we've all got our patterns in there one thing we

  • probably want to do is be able to copy one pattern to another. So the

  • problem that we have is that my first pattern here is completely different to

  • my second pattern and I want them to be the same so I can then add some very

  • small variations to that pattern so that when I have sequence of patterns that

  • might just have one or two different things.

  • What I'm going to want to do is get pattern one into the pattern two slot so

  • this is where i'm going to want to go.

  • First thing I do is select the destination. So that's number two so we

  • just make sure that that's the one. Now next thing I'm going to do is hit

  • copy so that's under number 11.

  • Copy, now i'm going to select which pattern I want so same deal again but we want

  • number one this time and then i'm going to hit enter to complete that. So when I

  • go back to pattern one let's go back to pattern mode.

  • Number two, there we go we have the same thing and then what I could do on

  • pattern two for example let's go back into pattern write mode. We could have maybe

  • a different pattern with let's try the crash cymbal just something really obvious.

  • So we jump back into pattern play mode.

  • We don't have anything on number one but the crash cymbal comes in on number two.

  • Now what we could do is we can actually set this up so that it will just play one

  • and two in a cyce. If I hit both of these, these will now become a grouped. So once we

  • play through one it will move over to number two, back to one, back to number two. And so forth.

  • Now if we wanted something even more detailed than this with more patterns we can actually

  • create a track so in the TR-09 there are four tracks again this is the same as

  • what was on the TR-909. So i'm going to hit track and i'll just show you how one

  • of them works. So let's go back to this again so were back in group one and I

  • should mention as well you can have two groups of the tracks so you have eight in total.

  • So what you'll see is happening is we're triggering a different pattern each

  • time this ticks over. So if we want to make our own - let's just find one that's

  • blank let's maybe go back to bank two again, number one.

  • Ok that's blank. We're going to enter pattern right mode and what we have here

  • so now where you can see we've got bar 1. I'm going to select back to my patterns

  • again so bank two, pattern one. Let's go number one. Once we're ready to write the

  • track so I'm going to start this playing. So it's just going to sit on number

  • one until I move to the next one. So I make sure I've got the right one

  • selected. So I'm gonna go pattern one, move on to number two. I want to have my second pattern in there.

  • Number three i'm gonna go with the second pattern again. Number four i'm going to go

  • with my first pattern. Then i'm going to hit stop and I want to go back to

  • track play mode. So i'll just do that i'm going to go back to buy a number one and

  • off I go let's see what happens.

  • So that's playing back a track the only other thing I haven't mentioned yet is a

  • little knob here we have called total accent. So i'm going to actually just

  • jump back into a pattern again. So let's go back into pattern right mode and

  • what we're going to do - you see we have total accent on here. So you program it like

  • it's another instrument. So we'll go instrument select, total accent.

  • So I'm going to put these in some random places so they jump out and as I turn this knob up.

  • There we go, so on the kick drums you can certainly notice it. You can have

  • varying amounts of that you've got a knob here so you can control that what this does

  • is applies accent to the step rather than to the instrument so everything that

  • lands on that step will be amplified.

  • Now i'm going to move over to my computer and show you how I've got this

  • setup. So I've set up a few instruments here the important ones are going to be

  • there is two to five. This is an external instrument i've setup in logic and the key thing we

  • have here these are my inputs which are actually my USB outputs on the TR-09 and

  • you can see we've got a set of five there. So I'm gonna make sure they're

  • successive five-six, seven-either, final one will be nine and ten.

  • The first one is if you just if you're not using that USB functionality

  • everything will just come out of the first one. So now what I have to do is set up

  • which instruments are going to come out of each output from this into the

  • inputs of my computer. So I'm going to jump into menu. We''ll move down to USB one. So

  • which ever thing is flashing is what I'm sending to that output. So at the moment I

  • just want my bass drum only to be going to number one and this is pretty commonly

  • how you want to use it you want to have control over that drum separately.

  • Going to move to number two. Again I'm just going to have my snare drum so I have

  • totally independent control of my snare drum. USB 3 i'm going to include all the

  • instruments in the middle - so my toms, my rim shot and my clap and number four

  • these are going to be all my cymbols. So let's just have a look what happens

  • let's jump out of here, patterns are ready to go and we're gonna hit start. Now let's have

  • a look at the software. You'll see I'm receiving everything in through these

  • extra four ports here.

  • So what we'll notice here the second one there that only has the bass

  • drum on it. Moving down here this one only has the snare drum on it.

  • This one is all my percussion other than the cymbals and finally this one here

  • has just my cymbals on it. So the beauty of this thing I can edit all these

  • separately, I can record them separately, I can apply effects of them separately

  • if I want to do that. We've gone through pretty much everything on here now so

  • the last thing to mention is the awesome built-in stand that you get with this.

  • I'll show you how that works.

  • So it's just a release here works very similar to the keyboard for the initial boutique releases.

  • And there's the second level there. So I can have it quite upright, I can have just a medium level

  • slight rise or I can have it flat. You can also buy these cases now separetly for the original boutique series

  • if you want to have those instead of the keyboard.
