Me & Roland TR-909

[Animalinstinct89]

shit, i love it 0:55 when those raw claps come in

[irvingdmotion]

niiice

[blueyesalexya]

are you selling your TR-909

[SteamMachine]

2:00 onwards I was raving! :D

[indepe89]

thats tight as fuck.

[interstellar10]

As far as the 909 goes this is about as basic a sequence as you can get ... Don't get me wrong, the 909 is awesome - just this is pretty vanilla. I have a 909 and you can get a lot of variety by chaining patterns together or inserting them manually.

[jumboclipexponent]

@interstellar10 ..pretty vanilla!??? I thought it was mint choc chip ! like I say on the description this was the first sequence I did with no midi when I first got hold one. I have done a lot more on it since ,released several e.p's but I know what you meen the stuff that Jeff Mills does with one is amazing but then again some other videos posted are pretty tame too. LOL

[popyybbeisdabest]

you rock !!!!

[snolan1990]

That's it I have decided I can't not have a TR-909 any longer but reading online about the TR-909 in anticipation of buying one i have read that there are MIDI & Din issues when slaved. Have you experienced this?

[jumboclipexponent]

yeah.You can get around this by chaining it off a TR-707 or 727 or buying a midi synchronizer like a Korg KMS30 which I had..the TR-909 midi is not the best as midi was only just brought In when It was manufactured.

[snolan1990]

R* sticker FTW

[jumboclipexponent]

yeah ! Rock Star games !! it is just a sticker to hide a dent LOL

[network909]

TR-909 forever!

[mynamesmatt111]

[USEPartyPeople]

The hand claps on this machine are the absolute best!

[elsongs]

HAPPY 9/09/09!

[jumboclipexponent]

safe :D

[dannymiooo]

groovy beat!!! good job!!! love the 909!!!

[ShadowlightSE]

I just got mine, but I hardly get any respons when turning the decay on the bass kick. Do you think you can post a video when you just play around with the bass kick for 30 secs and turn tune, decay etc?

[jumboclipexponent]

the decay on the 909 is not quite as strong as the 808's decay you may need to route the bassdrum out to get big decay ;D

[steviepdj]

nice programming dude - loved it! wish i had one :)

[minsoochoe]

how do you get your sponsors for all that gadget?! i love your 909.

[jumboclipexponent]

no sponsers just a lot of saving lol

[degekkeorgelman]

that sounds very nice, very tribalistic

[NTBeat]

Can you get anything besides drums with a 909? I mean like melodic things and pad sounds.

Good jam!

[v2vmusic]

TR 909 is a 80's drumachine: so you have to expect awesome drum sounds only!!

For pads and leads you have to play another instrument :)

[thchris]

lol

[FunkyVinylJunkie]

I'm new to the machines, but not new to the beats. Any main or drastic difference between the 808 & 909?

thanks for posting

[jumboclipexponent]

the 909 has a more solid bassdrum harsher hats. Its claps are similar to the 808. The 808 has that deep bass drum with loads od decay and has the sweet electro sound & is 100% analogue and crooses over into RnB and hip hop (marvin gaye-sexual healing's beat is 808 )...the 909 is really for techno and house only ....pete ;D

[FunkyVinylJunkie]

thanks, greatly appreciate it!

[mmmrenkas]

Ive heared some early 80s funk tunes with a 909,

it sounded really weird

[Capeau]

Basicly if you want punchy drumsq (techno'ish) then go for the 909

If you want deep and booming sound (r&b'ish) then go for the 808.

But keep in mind that you can make great techno with the 808 also and great r&b with the 909. Its just to give you an idea how they sound different

[jumboclipexponent]

yeah sure the 808 is a mega machine too. When I first listened to those great Detroit trax from around 87' I mainly just noticed the 909's sound but its nice to listen to them again and you here a lot of 808's used aswell as the 909. I had a 707 too and that had that great early house feel that was graet on earlt chicago house trax like Armando "Land Of Confusion"

[aszent]

Nice pattern-programming, but you should use both hands ;-)

[snolan1990]

i think he was probably using the other hand to hold the camera :P

[jumboclipexponent]

you got it mate ! I could have used a tripod but I was caught in the moment ;)

[discotechwreck]

that was pretty sweet!

I am dieing to get my hands on a 909

[NextDoorButOne]

808, 303, 909.. it's all good! That Roland guy is truly versatile eh?

[digitalzero]

I must admit that I'm not a big fan of the 909, but I have to congratulate you on your acquisition. I'm sure you'll make good use of it.

Let's hear it with that Revolution in the background, eh?

[jumboclipexponent]

cheers man..check my other vid there is an acid jam I did with the 909&Futureretro :D
