Came across this three weeks ago as baked as a tray of cookies and it took me a good few seconds but when the realization hit the toms were playing the intro melody I think I may have laughed so hard I phased onto a new plane of consciousness and traumatized passers by with my synth nerd cackle. Love this series, the comedy, the way you present it, everything. Much respect. :)
Yeah what gives with the prices on this? I copped mine years ago at a guitar center clearance sale and I used a coupon. It’s crazy small and I had to go over to Jersey to get it (the worst part)
How can Roland miss the very important point about 80's dance music. What made 80's dance music was playing the hardware live as a performance. It started with the TB303, a nightmare to program so you had to put the very basic of baselines then twist the controls over time, after that it kinda caught on.
On the Mac at least, you can easily add the TR-09 (and other boutiques) to an aggregate audio device, along with your main audio interface. Works very well.
@@AudioPilz I use a buffer of 128 samples at 44.1 kHz, so latency is around 10.7 ms, but in Ableton Live I found a MIDI clock offset of -12.6ms is perfect to get everything in sync. I have six boutiques and a System-8, all connected via aggregate device, and several other hardware devices all using MIDI clock. In the aggregate, I have "drift correction" enabled for all devices except my main audio interface. No pops or clicks, but it does use some CPU.
Audio MIDI Setup really needs to not be a hidden unsung gem for Mac producers! It’s also very useful for adjusting gain on a per-channel basis to keep your inputs in balance (not so useful for recording, useful for streaming though)
I always wondered: "Will you ever run out of words to describe your music pieces?" And low and behold, you answered as if you knew. I guess something for your patreons to come up with :)
I like how the video for the "I don't know what to call it" shows somebody going through one red light after the other, and it ends as soon as a green light is reached :)
The mystery sub-genre is blatantly Neo-Cappuccino Italo-Bloopmooch. Perfect for those times when you're gliding smoothly along the sun-drenched coastal roads of the Cote d'Azur in your vintage Italian convertible, grinning like a loon because you've just won a Mahjong tournament.
For Roland's new gear i've had a work around for the interface "issue". Create an aggregate interface, basically a hub for all your interfaces under one name. This is how to use it on Mac, i'm sure there is a windows equivalent for a solution too but this has worked well for me. Worth looking up.
Its definitely a good solution, but with one caveat - The system latency will only be as good as the worst device in the aggregated chain in my experience. But it works really well overall.
Sounds really good actually without the OG "hiss sounds" that come with 1980s gear. Crank up the comp on bassdrum and snare. Use the little sub menu to adjust parameters. The only big issue is size and lack of more outputs...if you need that go TR-8S
Well... If you compare their prices to the used priced of the originals, then yeah, they're definitely cheaper. xD They sound amazing, but these tiny knobs and faders are a real PITA imo... I tried some of them at a store, but got frustrated with them, cause either i couldn't do adjustments fine enough or i kept bumping other controls with my fingers...
@@AudioPilz Scrunching functionality down into a compact, jam-it-in-a-backpack-and-eat-lunch-in-the-park form factor can end up costing a pretty penny.
Nice drum pattern , good 5th note beat gives it some motion and the swing makes the keys come right in with the groove. love making those off beat patterns for todays tech and progressive, not just the 4 on the floor anymore.
@@AudioPilz Now if they can just keep the QC sorted. They make some cool stuff for some cool prices, but sometimes the build quality is a little "nervous-making", y'know? :D

As a former owner of a real, vintage TR-909, I'll stick to using the sample library (via my MPC 1000) I created before I sold it. But if I really felt the desire to have another hardware unit versus the samples from the O.G, I'd buy the Behringer clone. LOL!
@@AudioPilz Facts! Sampling up to 10+ different hits for every sound wasn't though.

And I barely use them alone. They are mostly used to layer and build unique drum hits. Combining them with my Vermona DRM 1 MKlll or Yamaha RY-30. It was fun to learn the ins and outs of the machine in order to really understand what the O.G. process was. But the sounds are a bit dated. And can get lost in the mix unless it utilized very minimalistic instrumentation.
@@AudioPilz The original TR-909 is the most convenient weapon to keep the crowd dancing during a live techno performance. It even has strange flaws in its sequencer timing which for some reason make it more groovy. That being said I wouldn't want to buy a 909 these days, although the RE-909 certainly is a nice piece of gear.
I got a bunch of the boutiques. They're just cheap versions of classics that have gotten too expensive for hobbyists like me. They're not perfect and they're a pain to get a handle on but I actually ended up liking how they handled the individual drum outs because, with my cheap gear, it's easier for me to record with one audio cable out rather than one audio cable for each drum. For pros like the AudioPilz this thing probably sucks on toast. It's all about who you are and what you plan to do with it. Great video as always!
i owned several boutiques, sold them all to get a System-8 (which is very freaking awesome aside from the tiny screen). The only boutique i kept is my blue edition Sh-01a.
You can use ASIO 4 ALL to combine the audio interface in the TR-09 with your own audio interface. That way you can get multiple outs + your audio interface. I made a video about it with the MC-101 as an example.
Well, I tried that with two MX-1 and a TR-08 - never worked reliably, unit assignments were swapped around between sessions, had to rearrange everything in ableton too many times.... If only Roland had reached out to RME, they might have coded something useful, like, a multi device driver that allows you to have every boutique synth connected via USB and then aggregate that into a big fat single device (for Windows). Still love the boutiques, went the analog route after lots of frustration and today your comment (and this video) motivated me to give it another try!
MUTE and SOLO modes make the TR-09 very useable for live use. I’m pretty sure the OG 909 didn’t have mute and solo modes. I’m not that fussed not having separate outs to be honest. The size of it is bloody practical. I have owned 2 x TR-909 in the past but just sampled the voices of it in the end and sold them before the internet and ebay sent the prices crazy high. They were superbly built though and looked awesome. Those were the days when everyone went nuts for the Alesis HR-16 “real sounds” and velocity pads. The Boutique 09. I love it. Bought for £270 second hand. Wish it had square USB B or USB C instead of Micro USB power. They look very flimsy & breakable. Oh well, it least it can run on batteries which again is very handy. As you say the dedicated trigger out is great and let’s you free up the Rim. I also love the way the TR-08 and 09 let you program in 32nd notes for trap fills etc. The originals never let you do that and that is much more important to me than separate outs. Shame Roland discontinued this to be honest. It’s one of the best Boutiques and sound wise it’s very, very close to the original. I find the bass drum super usable. Probably has more attack click than on the original which I prefer and you can dial that in nicely. Do love the vids of course, sometimes wish they went longer into “proper” detailed reviews. Guess there are other channels for that. Oh and guys, Florian is right. The TB-3 rocks.
It’s funny how I hated this thing when it first came out. Now, years later I totally get what’s so great about this little boutique here. The size fooled me.

@@jbmcb The Benz' suspension was far better to put a 35mm movie camera in it, a sporty Ferrari wouldn't do the job in 1976 without any image stabilization process. 🧐
Mind blown with the all-909 theme. Also live tuning the ride cymbal is always fashionable. Thank you for that. Re: Jeff Mills’ knees - jamming on the TR-8 is the absolute shit, and not many people know this but the green border was designed to increase cartilage growth.
Roland boutiques in a nutshell: Imagine if Fender stopped making electric guitars in 1959. Then they started putting out portable transistor organs with Guitar Hero-like keyboards on the necks. Then the 1980s come, and they create a device that can somewhat recreate the sound of a guitar, but it's tiny, plasticky, and stringless. This would be okay if they didn't still call these devices Strats, Telecasters, and P-Basses. Better yet, imagine if Yamaha stopped making acoustic grands when they started making their Clavinovas.
omg, so many jokes and references (video length?), even the ferrari cruising paris video is there. Amazing series, incredible humor, loving it, keep it up man.
The TR-09 is pretty authentic to the original in terms of sound and appearance. That ticks the two most important boxes for me as a gadget (yeah, a gadget) What I don't understand are the JP-08 and JX-03 which don't resemble the original at all. What were they? They can be the real stars in the Bad Gear show.
Omg 1:15 the PMA-5 brought me back (surely the inspiration for the iPad and iPencil thingy). I traded my MC-303 for one in the late 90s; the PMA-5 would make an interesting episode :-) loved the TR-09 upload as per usual, keep up the awesome content, thanks.
The track sounds like early Dreamhouse to me. Like before it got folded into the "trance" genre. Sounded good to me though, you gotta drop a Bad Gear EP already. Press it on vinyl for style points. I'll make like 50 cassette dupes for extra style points. Send it to Tech Moan to burn onto Mini-Disc for ultimate style points.
Sampled and sold. No regrets. I miss my original TR-909, and while this does sound good, this little box is just not performance friendly for anyone larger than a hobbit.
For the USB issue, if you have a Mac you can just create an Aggregate device to merge the TR-09 inputs with the Soundcard's inputs. It's a bit of a faff, but it works nicely.
@@0713dm it has built in reverbs, flanger, delay, compressor, slicer and many many more effects. It’s is midi so you can sinc all your stuff through it. You can control ableton with it too!
@@digitaldobbie killer! So somehow we can overcome this issue of no individual outs on the TR-09, right? I keep hearing it is the main gripe and I’ve seen people doing it (haven’t quite tried it yet)

If you think those knobs are tiny and crowded...try the SE-02 lol. I say that, but I absolutely love it. I have that and the JU-06 and JU-06a..but SE-02 is by far the best Boutique, and my second favorite piece of hardware I own.
@@AudioPilz .. I agree! Growing up in Detroit in the 80's/90's, I had the unique fortune to see every classic Detroit DJ, dozens of times. I think his birthday is in a couple days. :)
Great vid as always! That intro - seeeeeeesssssshh. As much as I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE the 909...... the tiny knobs were a no go for me. I even let go of my SH01a partly because it was just too small of controls. I do admit though they do sound good.

Sampled and sold. No regrets. I miss my original TR-909, and while this does sound good, this little box is just not performance friendly for anyone larger than a hobbit.
Agreed!
Then it's perfect for me!
Some of us do like Second Breakfast.
Same lol
For the USB issue, if you have a Mac you can just create an Aggregate device to merge the TR-09 inputs with the Soundcard's inputs. It's a bit of a faff, but it works nicely.
Thanks for the heads up
I use the TR-09 with the MX-1, makes life easier and you can continue to use your interface with the added bonus of multiple FX
That combination is super interesting!
Seconded, the MX-1 is secret heart of all the recent Roland stuff
I have a TR-09 (and TB-03, TR-06, JX-03...) and I enjoy it very much. What can the MX-1 do to maximize the potential of the TR-09 and Boutiques?
@@0713dm it has built in reverbs, flanger, delay, compressor, slicer and many many more effects. It’s is midi so you can sinc all your stuff through it. You can control ableton with it too!
@@digitaldobbie killer! So somehow we can overcome this issue of no individual outs on the TR-09, right? I keep hearing it is the main gripe and I’ve seen people doing it (haven’t quite tried it yet)
tune at the end was a beauty
Thank you!!!
I love my tr06 but it has distortion and delay along with volca style step jumping
Nice!!!
That Jeff Mills comment , I thought the same thing watching that clip no sign of agony on his face , knees of steel .
And he was already over 50 in that vid. Kudos!!!
7:09 The genre name you’re looking for Is dream trance
Thanks! Just listening to Robert Miles;)
anything by Nick Bracegirdle
Great work yet again.
I don't know where that driving footage was filmed, but the architecture was lovely.
Thanks! www.imdb.com/title/tt0169173/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk
@@AudioPilz oh how clever!
#participation That was clearly "Vintage Paris Tour Ambient Bass Techno".
Nice one! Thanks!
"C'était un rendez-vous" ambient bass techno
@@cedwards427 Oh, yeah, right, that was the name of that movie. Thanks, I couldn't remember it.
Here in this "Early 90s, minimalist, Super Nintendo, F-Zero practice course, how did I get so old" Jam!
Good one, thanks!
would love to see your take on the roland sp404, cause why not another roland product! Its pretty clunky at times but shows some true power in specific use cases
Great input, thanks!
It's very powerful but it's not very user friendly, those lo-fi hip hop artists make it look so easy
Please don't encourage him to break my heart :^(
@Chris Cheltenham it's just part of the Roland "experience". Not gonna lie they do make good products though, well mostly
i really loved the track at the end with the video
Thank you!!!
I'm going to call this a
NEW OLD NEW WAVE
CRUNCHY SMOOTH LO-FI
FORCAST ON THE EIGHTS
QUASI TESH TRANCE
#participation
Nice one!!! thanks!
As someone with a seriously limited amount of desk space the Boutique range has been a godsend
Agreed!
Rumor online is if someone uses a Roland boutique with a Korg volca, they rip a hole in the space-time continuum.
we used a TD-3 as well, mistake, you dont want to deal with a dimension of angry accountants whose ledgers just disappeared into a tear in space-time
SINGULARITY!!!
I use a JU-06 and a Volca Bass😩. Planning on selling it and picking up a Grandmother soon
Awesome vid once again ☺️ my #participation entry: "We put the NEIN! in the TR-09" 😁
Thanks, good one!!!
FRIDAYYYYYYYY
Hell yeah!!!
Nice touch having the video be exactly 9 minutes 9 seconds.
Pure coincidence;)
Maybe I'd call it new age ambient house #participation
Good one, thanks!
You should have at least 10x more subscribers, love your content bro!
Thanks! Working on it!!!
What's this, a drum machine for ants?
Damn, I should have put this one in!
@@AudioPilz and i should have known that wonderful stereo to mono meme before. the power of the internet!
i love the compression used in the voice recording. maybe im the only one who notices this stuff in youtube videos
Thanks! It is indeed squashed to F
Funny that Behringer releases better Roland clones than Roland themselves
It's so strange
Now, with new Bad Gear video, my Firday is complete and i can chill properly
Same to you, thanks!
I did like the theme played with the toms. Very nice.
Thanks!
I really love your content and you make my fridays so much better. You deserve way more love, and I'm sure you get a lot of it. Never stop doing what you do!
Thank you so much!!!
Hahaha, I feel bad for Jeff's knees just imagining that 8:45 :D Thanks for the videos, recently I joined the bad gear family with my Yamaha Cs1x!
He has the strongest knees in electronic music ;)
"PS1-era racing game score results screen type beat" for that final jam
Good one, thanks!
If you think those knobs are tiny and crowded...try the SE-02 lol. I say that, but I absolutely love it. I have that and the JU-06 and JU-06a..but SE-02 is by far the best Boutique, and my second favorite piece of hardware I own.
Yeah, these faders look, erm, challenging;)
Best episode yet!!!
Thank you!!!
I have a TR08 and ALSO come across midi issues. Honestly it has become my least used Roland instrument. Def love to throw a TB3 into any mix!
TB3 is gonna be legend!!!
Another great video. 6:00 felt so Jeff Mills to me. I guess it's in my genes. :) Cheers. EDIT: I entered my comment before the end of the video, lol.
Thanks! JM is the master of the 909
@@AudioPilz .. I agree! Growing up in Detroit in the 80's/90's, I had the unique fortune to see every classic Detroit DJ, dozens of times. I think his birthday is in a couple days. :)
Great vid as always! That intro - seeeeeeesssssshh. As much as I LOOOOVVVVEEEEE the 909...... the tiny knobs were a no go for me. I even let go of my SH01a partly because it was just too small of controls. I do admit though they do sound good.
I do have very small hands and the knobs on this one would be a dealbreaker for me
I immediately laughed at the fact that the video was 9:09. You're still the music tech, hero/anti-hero, genius we didn't know we needed long ago, still putting things in their place and slapping it with a genre to suit.
This channel is the highlight of my Friday night/Saturday night TH-cam viewing, it pushes so many buttons!! 😋😋😋🥳😹🐱🐉🐔🐈🦨🐍🦢🦜🐤🦷 (
Thank you so much!!!
Obviously it was made on purpose lol
