The Roland TR-909 is a classic drum machine which was released in the early 80s, and is still heralded today as one of the cornerstones of electronic music. If you have an MPC 2000XL then you’ll be pleased to find this roland tr 909 floppy for MPC which contains a formatted kit of 909 samples ready to be triggered from the classic music production center!
Buying this floopy disk means you can load up the sounds of the TR-909 on your MPC and immediately start playing – no need to sample anything or set up keygroups; a time-consuming process for anyone who’s done it before! The samples have been optimised at 16-Bit 44kHz and feature the kick, open hi hat, closed hi hat, rimshot, snare, clap, ride, crash, and toms (low mid high) – get ready to make a dance floor smasher! A demo pattern and program are also included on the disk, which can be sent worldwide with a tracking number.
The 909 formatted floppies are sold by VALPower who sell a number of useful devices for music making – this being their first foray into floppies! Perhaps we’ll see some more in the future, surely the 808 is only a matter of time. What would you like to load up in your MPC?
