Roland TR-909
Rhythm Composer (1983)

The legendary cult drum machine considered as sought-after as the elder brother Roland TR-808.
TR-909 has been a commercial failure and Roland retired the machine from the market after a few months.

DRUM MACHINE Main panel features a basic segments display, 31 knobs, 23 buttons and 16 pads with no velocity.
Backpanel terminal connectors:
- main signal out
- 10 individual outputs
- Midi interface
- tape interface
- 5-DIN sync input
- a +5V pulse trigger out controlled by rimshot
- pedalswitch input for start/stop
- memory cartridge slot.

SOUND based on a CPU NEC UPD7811G manages 10 channels each with individual mix levels.
STRUCTURE the sound generation is an hybrid between:
- Analog generation.
- PCM digital samples.

ANALOG family is generated like as several mini-synthesizers with individual circuits, onboard VCO oscillators, noise generators, envelope VCA stages and filtered by lowpass filters.
Each percussions have different controls:

Bass Drum
tune sets the pitch
decay sets the lenght
attack adds a click at the beginning
Snare Drum
tune sets the pitch
tone emphasizes the VCF filter and the total decay
snappy sets the amount of white noise
Low tom
pitch sets the tuning
decay sets the relative lenght Mid tom
pitch same as low tom but with different range
decay sets the relative lenght
High tom
pitch same as low tom but with different range
decay sets the relative lenght Rim Shot
no controls
Handclap
no controls

DIGITAL internal ROM 3 PCM samples coded at 6 bits resolution / 18 kHz frequency- the rest of the audio signal path is pure analog including EG, VCF and VCA.
TECH: PCM shots are stored in a 32 Kb ROM HITACHI HN61256P.

Hi-Hat (open)
decay makes a long open sound
tune sets the pitch Hi-Hat (close)
channel-shared with opened hihat circuit
they canno be played at same time
Crash
tune sets the pitch of the sample Ride
tune sets the pitch of the sample

SEQUENCER is based on famous 16 steps or tapping method.
There are 3 main sequencer functions that enhance the pattern groove:
- ACCENT: makes a specific step louder for a single instruments or all
- SHUFFLE: swings the beat for a more human rhythms
- FLAME: adds a syncope on a step. It does not apply to: rimshot, claps, hihats, crash and ride.
MIDI it is possible to trigger the sound percussions directly by Midi, but implementation is rather basic and offers only ON/OFF messages.

SYNC internal tempo range from 37 to 290 BPM or external clock sync is possible in 3 ways:
- 5 DIN SYNC signal at 24 PPQ
- Midi clock
- tape sync.

MEMORY:
- 4 songs max.
- 48 patterns (up to 896 measures)
Patterns and songs are saved if batteries (2X 1.5V) are fitted, then these can be saved to tape dump or in a M-64C RAM cartridge.
