Hi nice to meet you too just to clarify the entire quote is "Unless you have $20,000 worth of preamps, transformer balanced DIs and mastering grade converters you simply can’t get a punchier or fatter electronic drum sound, happening at once, all playable inside your computer" which I stand by. I'm not trying to scam anybody and I do stand by the fact that using high quality cables into a Neve 1073 and mastering grade converters with a passive transformer balanced DI produces the best 909 drum sound, hence one the reason why I made this instrument. There are many audio chains you could pick with a 909, or any source, and because this was captured clean you can still use those chains after the fact although I do understand that doesn't work for everybody.oblioblioblio wrote:DO NOT TRUST THESE MEN!!!! !!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

fcking cunts!
The sequencer is cool but not when you're trying to sequence to other elements that don't play well with the 909's DIN SYNC. Hence the reason for putting it all inside of Kontakt with Round Robin sampling and the ability to adjust the parameters with the ability for recall.oblioblioblio wrote:I don't want to seem like I'm being negative for no reason. But this whole product just makes me feel sick.
To say that you can't get deep sounding drums without 20K studios ... those guys should be put in the stocks and be forced to listen to moldy commercial preset music for 10 years until they are so disgusted that they decide to make a product with geniune musical value, or get corperate jobs and stop selling dreams to people who don't know any better.
The reason why people dream after those Roland drum machines is becuase they were used well by fantastic musicians in famous pieces of music, and so subsequently the macines have a high value, which makes them inaffordable. But they are not the only good electronic machines that will ever be made.
If you want the fattest kick drum sound ever you can get it for $350. It makes the 808 kick drum cry. Metasonix r54. Yes, it is not a kick drum or drum machine but you can easily use it like one.
Yeah I should chill out but those guys are twats.
Perhaps your 909 is not the same as mine because on mine the pitch of the kick drum easily changes by a semitone over the period of an hour and half that it takes to warm up. Not exactly friendly when you're trying to overdub a part or lay in a few more hits from the machine, or having to wait for the kick to sound just right.steevio wrote:haha i agree with mark.
quotes like this
' We love the 909 but we don’t love the instability or limitations of dealing with vintage hardware in a modern studio'
bullshit, there's nothing instable about the TR909,
i just keeps on rocking away. never misses a beat
non of the vintage hardware i have has any limitations that are going to make me want to put them on ebay and use software instead,
and how about 'better than the real thing' !!!
yes mark mate you lost it there - fair play
Revolution-909 is a model of the original that is made from and matches the behaviour of the original. I think people will still be interested in accurate models of classic gear in 25 years, but not everybody - some people don't care right nowsteevio wrote:i think this is really funny..
check out it out, these guys are so enthusiastic, somehow cant imagine anyone being so enthusiastic in 25 years time about the revolution909 software, if you can find a pentium in your attic to play it on that is.
I'm more than happy to answer any questions you all might have and I would even be willing to send a NFR copy to a veteran forum member here who uses Kontakt 4 and wants to prepare a comparison between the real unit and Revolution-909.
Cheers,
Matt
