Happy 909 Day

Happy 909 day.
I love this machine almost as much as my 808.



As if inventing the TR 808 wasn't enough. Initially, the 808 was a flop so Roland thought they had better try something new. Little did they know that the 808 was simply way ahead of everyone else and in time would be viewed as a work of art.

So Roland followed with the TR 909. Their second classic.
Probably the engineers thought the public wanted a drum machine to sound like a real drum.


Unlike the 808 which was a pure analog machine, the 909 used samples for some of its sounds.
The 909 also has midi :-)
