Roland has released the Drum Machine Collection, five of the most revered rhythm machines from the 1980s as recreated modern plug-ins. This single collection offers users access to authentic recreations of Roland’s TR-808, TR-606, TR-909, TR-707 and TR-727.
These five drum machines have served as backbones to numerous tracks over the past 40 years, and these recreations are intended sound and behave as like the vintage hardware, with the addition of advanced programming features and controls fit for modern production.
The plug-ins are enhanced by new sound-shaping options and advanced sequencing capabilities, as well as proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior (ABC) technology.
Additional specifics include detailed resizable interfaces the aim to give the feel of working with the vintage hardware, extended parameters and onboard effects to shape and modernise the classic sounds and advanced sequencers to support complex patterns and intricate grooves.
All the original factory patches, plus new sounds are included, with the TR-8S Rhythm Performer allowing hands-on control and pattern transfer.
A Lifetime Key purchase provides free access to future updates and feature enhancements for VST3, AU and AAX plug-ins, and native support for Apple silicon
The Drum Machine Collection is available for US$499.99 through Roland Cloud and retail partners. There is also a trial with a 30-day free trial membership.
