Roland TR-1000 User Thread

^ That said it seems the way trig conditions and fills are set up in an “absolute” way instead of musically logical.

Let’s say you want to trigger a snare only on the 4th bar, it works fine if you don’t launch a fill. If you do want to do a fill instead of the 4th bar every now and then, the snare will play on the bar after the fill… my timing OCD can’t deal with that and makes trig conditions basically useless!

Please send this to Roland! This is exactly what they NEED to hear.

Why does the Delay insert effect not go below 1/16 time? No 1/8, 1/8D, 1/4, 1/4D etc. Seems odd

It’s a bug.

Did that :slight_smile:

Have you reported it already?

Don’t think ms goes up to 1000 either if I remember correctly

Yes.

same
but dont forget you can use morph on the mix control for tracks 1-4
if you dont have layer 2 sequences for instance, you can get the morph to “turn the volume down”

but totally agree, would love to just have the volume sliders included

I would say that’s a bug. Hopefully they will fix that as it messes stuff up completely…

About to report another one. The filemanager lets you import samples, label, edit and save them but not assign to a track. Filename is either blank or weird when you look it up via gen->user sample to assign.

Anyone using snapshots for anything other than course tune? I honestly can’t see me using it for much else. By the time you’ve programmed in all the motion data you might as well live recorded it into the pattern. Or am I missing some special tricks?

Would be good if you could also momentarily hold down a snapshot to make all parameters jump to the set positions, a bit like the Morph slider but an instant jump. Like the Animate buttons on the Novation Peak. Edit: Actually it seems you can use it like this!

just for the record, i got flagged posting a video about a new clocksync device people where interested further up. its the best but most expensive solution so far imo for people looking for a sync solution for the tr-1000

New 1.14 update available. Says fixed crashing when auto slice.

Pretty underwhelming list if you ask me.

Addressing bugs with more frequent OS updates is welcome imo.

Sample offset delay problem is still there in both modes when triggered via MIDI
Delay IFX is still missing all the various note times.

I gave up looking after that.

I sold this previously but the buyer ghosted me. I left it packed up for a month but set it back up a week ago.

I thought I’d give it another chance until the next firmware came out.

I give up. I bought this to hopefully inspire me to write new music. It’s had the opposite effect unfortunately.

Back in the box it goes.
To be sold (again) after xmas.

Wow interesting. Opposite for me. Most inspiring purchase in ages for me.

If you use the TR-1000’s sequencer, you would never encounter the same issues. Apparently, there can be some timing issues when triggering it with another sequencer I guess. I don’t know since I’ve never tried. I really like using the subdivisions and weak beats on the TR-1000’s sequencer.

  • The response of ROLL has been fixed.

I was hoping this meant rolls are quantised so it only plays on the beat when triggered. Unfortunately not :frowning:

My sloppy timing means my rolls are always triggered slightly early or late so drums play off beat and it sounds awful. I’ve been avoiding playing rolls live for this reason.

Nice to see Roland are actively addressing the bugs though, anything that reduces the freezing and general stability should be priority at this stage.
