Roland TR-1000 Rhythm Composer

Two demo clips resp initial hiccup and general jitter

FW 1.5 updated and factory reset done. Factory setting kept (ALL GENS, no sync delay), SYNC set to USB from Bitwig

  1. Hiccup is cured welle nough for me. Tested drumloop and pec loop layered. BPM sync on and record from stop start synced to Bitwig. In previous versions I’d get some BPM garble first, i.e. the loops would not be on time and needed until the next trigger (1 bar) to be on time. I’d need hit play, wait until tempo settles and then hit record. Now I get this effect only every tenth or so start/stop. clip shows three different loop combos recorded from stop state.

  1. Jitter with TR in sync (I expect the same on TR on internal clock) is a tad more stable IMO but still not bombproof. MIND YOUR EARS! BD and SD out recorded triggers with each step on 110BPM set to quadruplets. I then start browsing samples in the gen select menu on a third track. You’ll hear when this happens. As I’m not into shotgun drums type of music, I guess halfway good enough for me ATM.
