The Roland TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin is a faithful recreation of the original hardware drum machine, now available as a convenient plug-in for your DAW. This drum machine was widely used in popular music genres such as synth pop, acid house, industrial, and electro during the 80s and 90s. With the TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin, you can now achieve professional and polished results at home.
Using proprietary analog circuit behavior (ACB) modeling technology, this plug-in accurately reproduces every detail and nuance from the original hardware unit. It even captures the pitch and tonal changes that were a result of clocking variations in the hardware. In addition to faithfully recreating the original unit, the TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin offers expanded features and functionality. You have control over tuning, decay, and PCM clock adjustments, allowing you to shape the sound to your liking. Internal parameters, including internal overdrive, provide a crunchy and distorted sound option.
For live performers, the TR-707 offers a sophisticated sequencer with individual sequencer lanes for each instrument. This sequencer provides options for mute, solo, and shuffle per-instrument, allowing for a more expressive performance. The TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin is a cost-effective alternative to the original hardware unit, which is rarely available and can be expensive.

The TR-707 drum machine was developed as a transition from analog-digital hybrid machines like the TR-909. Unlike the TR-909, the TR-707 utilized complete digital technology, providing more tone shaping options and a user-friendly interface. The TR-707 became the industry standard for drum machines during that time.
Due to the technology available at the time, the original TR-707 hardware used a 25kHz 8-Bit sample playback system. This resulted in quantization noise during sample decay. To address this issue, the TR-707 used non-decaying PCM waveforms with decay introduced in the analog section of the circuit. Clocking variations in the hardware also caused pitch variances in certain tones. The TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin accurately reproduces these quirks and characteristics using proprietary ACB circuit-level modeling.
To capture the unique sound and response of the original hardware, the TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin combines original PCM wave data with ACB modeling technology. This ensures that every nuance and detail of the PCM output stage is faithfully reproduced. The plug-in also offers tuning, decay, and PCM clock adjustment dials for further tonal shaping.
The TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin is designed to provide an authentic experience. It looks and sounds just like the original hardware, with responsive dials and knobs. The plug-in even offers two GUI options: a new skin or a vintage skin, allowing you to choose the aesthetic that suits your style.
While the TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin accurately emulates the original hardware, it also provides features that go beyond the capabilities of vintage outboard equipment. It offers powerful sequencing options, flexible tonal shaping, and drag-and-drop functionality for seamless multi-out setups. This makes it an ideal choice for contemporary musicians and producers, especially live performers seeking an authentic vintage sound with the reliability of modern plugins.
To enhance your sound, the TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin allows you to sculpt and shape the sound with adjustable parameters. You can adjust the attack, snap, and decay of each instrument, giving you precise control over the sound of your drums. The plug-in even offers the option to overdrive the internal circuit, providing a crunchy and distorted sound perfect for modern dance floor music.
The TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin features one of the most advanced sequencers found within a drum machine. It allows you to dial in the perfect rhythm and groove, with individual sequencer lanes for each instrument. You can audition tones within each sequencer lane, add accents and velocity for an expressive performance, and experiment with sub-steps and flams to create complex and evolving sequences.
The TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin also includes other features such as expanded tonal shaping options, drag-and-drop functionality for audio and MIDI, and two skins to choose from: original or aged. It is compatible with major DAWs and supports VST3, AU, and AAX formats.
In order to use the TR-707 Drum Machine Plugin, your system must meet the minimum requirements for operating system, CPU, RAM, hard disk space, and display resolution. Internet connectivity is required for software activation.
