TR-808 Rhythm Composer
TR-808Futuristic in sound and design, it was initially released at a time when the digital recreation of real drum sounds was highly favoured over analog devices. As time passed, its affordable cost and unique analog sound made it popular in hip-hop and dance music styles. Its impact on the sound and development of these genres is undeniable. With its characteristic bass drum, which was able to produce very low frequencies, and its distinctive cowbells, the sound of the TR-808 was unmistakable. Used on more hit records than any other drum machine in history, it has come to be one of the most recognizable and celebrated drum machines ever.

TR-909 Rhythm Composer
TR-909This machine was one of the first Roland instruments to be equipped with MIDI, and was the first analog/digital hybrid machine, combining analog circuits for its drums with digital samples for its cymbal and hi-hat sounds. Fully programmable, the sequencer section was incredibly powerful, allowing the user to chain 96 patterns into songs of up to 896 measures. The analog circuitry allowed for sounds with tweakable attack, tone, tuning, snap and accent parameters. The 909 sound was synthetic compared to its more expensive, digital sample-based counterparts, which were superior in reproducing real drum sounds. Over time however, this futuristic sound, coupled with its affordability, saw it reach new heights as an integral part of the techno movement during the 1990s.
