I have tested everything on the machine before listing it on eBay and everything runs perfectly.

You won’t be sorry purchasing this TR-909. ” Click here to visit listing on eBay

Roland TR-909 Project Machine

“video explains a lot or ask me for video link of the same video on the listing this is a classic Roland tr 909 personally I think it sounds amazing in person, its hard to tell how good it is from videos, ill describe the problems first, the snare has had a history of dropping out the sound were the sound will get quieter or even glitchy it is not very frequent but has happened you might notice it within 30 minutes of using the synth, the toms tend to change tune by themselves, if I remember correctly a couple of the pots are scratchy but not most I don’t like to change my settings because I believe I found a sweet spot for most of the sounds, also the square led buttons more specifically the track write and pattern play buttons don’t work that good or at all sometimes they take multiple presses or don’t respond at all, luckily the buttons work to make a pattern and even change between midi in and out work, I want to mention the sound this synth sounds amazing, all the knobs except the hi hat level knob properly work and effect the instrument sounds, the instrument select button and shift button work but may take a couple presses that whole section of 6 buttons are like that but work much better than the top buttons, all the instrument buttons work, stop and start work, tempo button does work, tempo change button works, cartridge enter button untested, master volume works, accents work to make the sound louder or more profound, you can make sequences, saving sequences is an untested functionality, midi works in and out there is no through, so midi has to be received or given cannot do both at the same time, outputs sound great, the bass drum singular output has a very small ring to it that is extremely quiet but it exists this problem is known to have happened with other units, it is constant, left and right master outputs have noise, this machine seems to be good with all individual outputs as far as noise and function, I have not tested the sync in or tape functionality, I imagine in time more things will start to lose functionality so it is in need of repair pretty soon, the overall physical condition is very good, I will include a dust cover, missing two feet on bottom nearest to the sequencer side, has battery cover on bottom power cable seems to be third party, not original owner, turns on :D, I have never opened this machine up and I don’t think previous owner did either, they seemed to have stored it for a long time, do your research please watch the video and honestly this is a great machine but there are other great analog drum machines out there, but it does have that iconic sound, buy synths wisely please, will safely ship thank you”

Roland TR-909

“Roland TR-909 RHYTHM COMPOSER DRUM MACHINE- GREAT CONDITION.

For Sale – Roland TR 909, Manual, Deck-Saver (Dust cover) and power-cord.

The Roland TR-909 is one of the most sampled drum machines ever made, due to its iconic use in dance, house and techno music throughout the 80’s, 90’s and 2000’s.

Unlike some other drum machines of the time, the TR-909 features separate outputs for each sound, for maximum editing and mixing possibilities. It succeeded the famous TR-808. It was also one of the first drum machine with MIDI functions, allowing it to sync with other devices. ”

” Works very well. Of course, over the years it has worn into what it is today. Everything works well on it. There is some static that presents itself sometimes among 2 or 3 instruments but it’s only on those volume knobs. Typically it is caused from dust. It is an amazing machine !”

Roland TR-909

“This TR-909 unit was once owned by Skinny Puppy and, previous to that, the one and only Kraftwerk. Considering the enduring influence of both of these groups, it really deserves to be in a museum. It’s been in my possession since 1994 and has never been outside of the studio. While I would love to keep it around for trusty grooves (and as a conversation piece), my interests have changed. It should be in the hands of someone more dedicated to the keeping the techno mojo flowing.

It’s in top shape except for one technical issue: the internal memory has stopped working. A technician traced the problem to a faulty CMOS chip, the repair of which would be relatively straight-forward. In the meantime, patterns can easily be saved to a cartridge (such as the M-16C or M-64C), if need be. In any case, I’m building up beats live most of the time and consider this the quintessential mode — see Jeff Mills ‘Exhibitionist’.

Voltage is currently set for 120V. This can be changed internally to 220V or 110V by switching taps on the internal power transformer. Comes with owner’s manual and annotated service manual in a hard binder. Shipping will be insured and the unit will be double boxed.” Click here to search for synths on eBay

“Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer Analog Drum Machine TR909 TR 909 Vintage.

This unit was recently given a complete review by an audio repair shop and everything was found to be working perfectly. No scratchy pots, everything is in perfect working order. This is coming out of my smoke free studio and this is my every day percussion source, so no surprises it’s in perfect working order.

This unit does have a couple of minor nicks if you look at it with a magnifying glass but is easily the best condition of any TR-909 I have come across so far.

Please note:

I’m also including a Doepfer MSY3 midi-to-dinclock adapter and a 3ft and 10ft midi/din cable so you can just plug and play this into your existing setup!”

Roland TR-909

“If you are looking for a vintage Roland TR-909 that works excellently and you will be able to depend on to function for years to come, you should consider this guy.

It has been serviced by a professional competent tech and all features and functions work great. The knobs move smoothly and quietly, all outputs work, every function has been tested and it is ready to make tracks.

It is in good cosmetic condition with some minor cosmetic defects. It has a few light scratches, scuffs, and indentions here and there.

It has some very mild wear along the front edge in one spot where the paint reacted with the black rubber of a keyboard stand (not noticeable), some mild wear to the plastic ends, but this machine still looks sharp.

It comes with it’s original, printed in Japan, manual and the correct cartridge. It also includes it’s original two prong power cable.

The battery compartment is acid corrosion free. I replaced the double A battery holder and foam during it’s last servicing.

This has the version one EPROM and is a pretty early machine serial number 382,026. I have never had a midi timing issue. Replacing the EPROM to upgrade to version 4 is major surgery since it is not a socketed EPROM so I never bothered. Something to think about is the majority of tunes that made the 909 famous were done with version 1 and 2 EPROMS. This was my reasoning for not upgrading. Another mystery to me is the serial number system of the 909. I have NEVER in all my life (I am old) seen one with a serial number below 381,500. Either way this 909 functions and sounds GREAT. I could listen to the kick from this machine all day long. ”

Roland TR-909

“1980s Roland TR-909 Rhythm Composer (Drum Machine). No issues. Works perfectly. All buttons and knobs work as they should. Well cared for and maintained by Bruce Forat.

**Also a very special mod by Bruce so I can have Rom Version 1 and 4 (Rom version 4 does not allow a factory reset). He made a switch in the battery compartment (see photo). The best of both worlds. You can switch between Rom version 1 so you can do a factory reset and Rom version 4 for midi timing correction. This machine is probably a one of kind. This mod does not effect the sound at all. It’s a costly upgrade.

See photos for cosmetic condition. Comes with power cord and a copy of the owners manual.

High serial number which will have all the Roland revisions to the 909. Great sounding machine. ”

Roland TR-909

“This TR-909 is fully functioning and ready to change hands. The screw mounts for the left side panel are broken and I’ve used tape to keep it in place over the years. It came this way from the previous owner and although OEM side panels can be cheaply sourced from a Roland SBX-80 or custom built wooden ones would work all the same, tape worked just fine for my purposes. To be completely thorough the individual outs are not fully volume consistent, adjusting the gains on the mixer channels to match desired levels (or the volume pots themselves) is necessary. This is true of vintage analogue drum machines in general and comes down to personal mixing preferences. This is a non-issue function wise with the TR-909 itself.
