At this rate a TR-1000 will probably arrive here before my Sweetwater catalog.

You know the analogue voices won’t be good enough even if they are.

Yeah. It’ll be months before I’m able to buy unless I sell things I value (I’m not doing that). Plenty of time to get a feel for if it’s actually worth $2500usd to me. As discussed in some other threads, the expense of this hobby has kind of warped my perception of the value of both money and goods, and it’s always helpful to step back and analyze the decision rationally. If I’m still jonesing in the new year after seeing its real-world use, it’s probably worth actually purchasing.

I want to try this Machine. I’ve reserved one at my local store but I’m also very curious of the upcoming drumDING.

They were obviously thinking about Kraftwerk with that pedal control jack

I could see TR-1000 as a club rider in 2026 :grimacing:

Haha I’m the opposite. It feels very confusing to have invisible automation. Especially when you’re trying to write a melody and you want to experiment with the rhythm

Shift scroll speeds up the flow considerable. So does use the dedicated ctrl button to map the knob.

ok so it has more than a reverb and delay

I think I like the shape of the Encoders/Knobs. They look comfortable.

The 8s and SP404 have those.

throwing my hat into the speculation ring, this is going to drop without any major bugs or fixes required and make the rest of the industry look like video game devs

2 Master FXs?

Will this release put an end to the absurd prices of used TRs?

In the last month I sold my Syntakt, TR8s and Akai Force for a total of 1900€ which ironically (or sadly) is not gonna cut it, if the prices are those that have been speculated

Yeah, but only the SE-02 is actually analog out of the the whole boutique range
