No, just a few things that are good pieces of gear but don’t really fit into what my setup needs to be right now (lightweight/compact), and wouldn’t really be a part of a TR-1000 based system.
All sellable and don’t compete in the drum machine space 
hadn’t seen this pic posted yet. nice for size comparison.
this machine seems pretty cromulent. shame there’s no analog 606 sounds though.

Will it have backward Sequencer feature? 
I thought it was bigger than it appears.

What do you guys suppose the “Vari chain” button on the left means?
Chaining pattern variations.

then again i’m a broke student who just bought Peak might have all to do with the lack of GAS. I’ll bring it in '26 mkay

So, from the SH101 dimensions (570x311mm) the dimensions of TR1000 should be approx 505x316, about 20% bigger than TR-8s

It’s interesting to note that no partnership has been mentionned regarding the analog part.
Studio Electronics and Malekko were responsible for the very few Roland-branded analog machines that came out recently.
Senior engineers that were in charge of analog designs in the glorious days of Roland were never replaced, and the brand had nobody left in-house to work on those things for years (as I was told by one of their reprentative a few years ago).
Maybe something has changed…

Jesus and Vari Chain.

Ah yes. Thanks
Was kind of hoping they’d allow for just longer patterns instead of having to have a bunch of variations like the tr-8S
But no biggie. Excitement level still at 11 haha

I believe they do. Song mode.
Chaining variations was possible also on the TR-8s, but it didn’t have a dedicated Vari-chain button: you would hold the first variation button and press other variations to chain (so you can do ABCD, or ACFG etc).
My guess is that without a dedicated Vari-chain button you could not do e.g. AAAB so that’s an hypothesis explaining the Vari-chain button.
Then you had also 2 fills variations, and the nice “auto fill” feature, except that the 2 fills variation were buried under menus so not easily accessible.

Explain this technique (and how Kraftwerk used it), please? I’m a huge fan and this piqued my interest
I found the 404 ones a bit cheap feeling personally - so I’d be getting an order in with DJ Tech Tools for some nice rubber knobs.
In bright green of course to fix Roland’s oversite in the styling.
