- Adjustable flams, sub-steps, and soft hits create detailed fills and ratcheted sequences.
- Each instrument has its own last-step and shuffle settings, so you can play with timing, experiment with complex meters, and dial in just the right groove.
- In 1980, the Roland TR-808 Rhythm Composer was released as a quick and easy songwriting tool for musicians. At the time, the high cost of memory drove Roland engineers to use analog synthesis instead of samples for its sounds.
- Through a series of happy accidents, they utilized unique transistors, creating a one-of-a-kind sound that set the 808 in its own sonic universe. However, it didn’t exactly deliver traditional or realistic drum sounds, leading to it being dismissed by many at the time, with only about 12,000 units ever made.
- The TR-808 software instrument integrates seamlessly with Roland's TR-8S Rhythm Performer and TR-08 Roland Boutique hardware.
- Transfer TR-8S patterns directly into the TR-808 plug-in or create beats on the go and send them back to the hardware. Or you can use the TR-8S or TR-08 for direct hands-on control of the plug-in.
- The Lifetime Key system provides an evolving service that includes free lifetime updates, cloud-based mobility with installation for up to five devices, plus access to current Test Drive promotions of instruments and patch collections.

The Roland TR-707 Lifetime Key Software Rhythm Composer Plug-In brings the totally authentic experience of using this classic machine direct to your DAW. And while it captures the vintage vibe of the original hardware, it adds new capabilities and enhancements for today's workflows. The detailed user interface is fully resizable for any display setup, and you can drag and drop MIDI and audio patterns directly to tracks or cells. Taking its rightful place next to other classic Roland drum machines, this previously underrated instrument has since appeared on hit tracks in a long list of genres, including synth pop, acid house, industrial, electro, indie, alternative, and more.
The plug in comes with a Roland Cloud Lifetime Key, which is managed online and provides 24-hour access to all updates and enhancement at no additional charge. A free Roland Account is required to access Roland Cloud Manager.
- Analog Circuit Behavior technology captures every detail of the original hardware
- It uses the original TR-707 sample ROM
- Includes all 15 original sounds and 64 original patterns
- 43 new patterns and kits for modern styles
- Get modern sounds with tuning, decay, attack, snappy, gain, sample-rate adjustment, and more
- Powerful sequencer with flams, sub-steps, and last-step and per-instrument shuffle
- Drag and drop audio or MIDI patterns directly to DAW tracks or cells
- Original and aged skins along with the LCD-style sequencer window
- Multiple outputs for flexible effects processing with plug-ins like ZENOLOGY FX
- VST3, AU, and AAX support for popular DAWs
- Native support for Apple silicon
- Developed in the mid-1980s, the TR-707 had a 25 kHz, 8-bit (or 6-bit for some tones) sample playback engine that was primitive by today’s standards. These low bit rates caused quantization noise during the sound’s decay, so nondecaying PCM waveforms were used, with decay introduced later in the analog circuitry.
- Furthermore, deviations in the clock and the analog circuitry downstream of the D/A converter caused variances in the pitch and decay characteristics. And though the TR-707 lacked the ability to edit sounds, the combination of these factors ultimately led to it being highly sought-after for its unique lo-fi punch.
- Great care has gone into making the TR-707 software feel special to use, just like the original hardware. Realistic new and aged skins match your vibe, and all 15 original sounds and 64 patterns are included. But these recreations go way beyond vintage with 43 kits and patterns for modern genres, wicked sound-shaping options, powerful sequencing, drag-and-drop audio/MIDI for your DAW, multi-output, and more.
- The TR-707 even works together with the available TR-727, with matching kits and patterns that complement each other perfectly. Load a kit, load a pattern, and let the magic happen.
- Taking inspiration from aftermarket modifications, Roland's advanced circuit modeling offers parameters that let you dig under the hood and modify the sound in any manner of ways. You can adjust the attack of the bass drum and the snap of the snare, and every sound has ultrasmooth tuning and decay.
- You can overdrive the internal circuitry, tweak how each PCM waveform behaves, and adjust the PCM clock from 6.25 to 100 kHz for some serious sonic mischief.
- While the sequencer on the original TR-707 was the most advanced Roland had ever made at the time, the updated sequencer here goes much further, incorporating features that let you add detail and nuance to your grooves.
- Opening the sequencer’s expanded edit panel reveals individual sequencer lanes with mute, solo, and adjustable shuffle for each instrument. Per-step accent is included, and each step can trigger hard or weak hits, alternate sounds, three types of sub-steps, and nine types of flams.
- The Lifetime Key system provides an evolving service that includes free lifetime updates, cloud-based mobility with installation for up to five devices, plus access to current Test Drive promotions of instruments and patch collections.
- A Lifetime Key is a cloud-based authorization for Roland Cloud instruments. Roland Cloud Membership and Lifetime Keys are managed through an online ID called a Roland Account.
