TIPTOP AUDIO RS909 WHITE : B-STOCK : [DETROIT MODULAR]

The RS909 is Roland's TR-909 analog Rimshot sound generator adapted for modular synthesizer use. The front panel contains all of the controls found on the original TR-909 drum machine, allowing you full control over the sound’s volume levels to mix with other drums, and accent levels. In addition to those original controls we have also added control over the two internal oscilators, further enhancing this circuit.

The RS909 is a one-to-one clone of the original circuit found in Roland's TR-909 drum machine. During the design phase, we created additional features only when implementation would not compromise the original signature sound, or add excessive costs. Cloning a circuit that was designed and produced in the 80's was not an easy task. A variety of obstacles including availability of the original parts, the modern SMT manufacturing process, the differences in +/-12V Eurorack power versus the +/-15V of the original 909, and far many more were addressed in the creation of this module.
