The Roland TR-727 software rhythm composer lets you tap into the iconic sounds of 1985. With Analog Circuit Behavior technology, this virtual instrument faithfully recreates the Latin percussion-packed TR-727, bringing its 15 sounds and 64 patterns into your DAW along with modern upgrades. Now you can craft infectious grooves and take your tracks to new heights with tuning, decay and other manipulations not found on the original.

Authentic Digital Vintage

The TR-727 utilized 8-bit samples and analog circuitry to produce its signature sound. This plugin started with the original PCM wave data and modeled the PCM output stage to capture every sonic quirk. Modeling the analog components introduced later allowed the addition of tuning, decay and PCM clock adjustment parameters for more creative control. With the aging skins and LCD-style sequencer, using this virtual instrument will transport you back to the era of early digital music technology.

Percussive Possibilities

The TR-727 came loaded with 15 original sounds that gave tracks an infectious groove. This recreation provides all those original sounds along with 43 new kits and patterns for modern styles. Tune and decay each sound to craft your perfect beat. With the sequencer's mute, solo and per-instrument shuffle for nuance, accent each hit or trigger alternating sounds and flams. Drag and drop audio or MIDI patterns to quickly build a rhythm track.

Vintage to Visionary

While faithfully recreating the TR-727, this plugin pushes its sonic capabilities into new territory. Dig into advanced circuit modeling to overdrive the internal circuitry, modify how each PCM waveform decays or adjust the PCM clock up to 100kHz. With these sound-shaping tools, you can design radically new tones from the classic sounds. Whether you want retro rhythm or a modern groove, this instrument has the versatility to meet your needs.

Seamless Studio Integration

Bringing the TR-727 into your DAW, this plugin supports today's workflow. It is VST3, AU and AAX compatible with native support for the latest Macs. The user interface fully resizes for any display and you can drag and drop audio or MIDI patterns directly to tracks or cells. With multiple outputs, easily send sounds to different channels for flexible effects processing. This virtual instrument may capture the vintage spirit of the TR-727 but integrates into any modern studio setup.
