The Roland TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin is a faithful recreation of one of Roland’s lesser-known drum machines, now available as a plug-in for your DAW. While not as famous as other drum machines in Rolands catalog, the TR-727 offers a unique sound for your productions. It is suitable for a wide range of genres, including afrobeat, reggaeton, tribal Latin, and more exotic contemporary styles, as well as traditional acid house and pop. The TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin utilizes analog circuit behavior (ACB) modeling technology to capture every detail and nuance of the original hardware, including pitch and tonal changes caused by clocking variations.
In addition to its accurate recreation of the original unit, the TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin also offers expanded features and functionality. You have control over tuning, decay, and PCM clock adjustments, allowing for more extensive tonal shaping. Internal parameter adjustments, such as internal overdrive, provide a crunchy and distorted sound. The plugin also boasts a sophisticated sequencer with individual sequencer lanes, mute, solo, and shuffle per instrument, as well as per-step hit velocity and accents for a more expressive performance.
The TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin is the perfect solution for modern electronic music producers. It offers the punch and character of the original hardware with seamless hardware control. While the original hardware units are rare and expensive, the Roland TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin provides all the same benefits at a more accessible price point.

The TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin is the culmination of Roland’s evolution from analog to digital technology. Before the TR-727, Roland released the TR-909, an analog-digital hybrid machine. The TR-909 used memory chips and digital-to-analog converters to create its sounds but had limited sound-shaping options and was expensive. The TR-727 was a complete digital solution, combining sample-based memory with a user-friendly interface and extensive tone shaping options. It quickly became the industry standard for drum machines.
The original TR-727 hardware utilized a 25kHz 8-bit sample playback system, resulting in quantization noise during decay. PCM waveforms with decay introduced in the analog section of the circuit were used to combat this. The clocking mechanism of the TR-707 caused pitch variances on certain tones, which are accurately recreated in the TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin using proprietary ACB circuit-level modeling.
To capture the unique sound and response of the original hardware, the TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin combines original PCM wave data with ACB modeling technology. It accurately reproduces all the instabilities and uniqueness that give the TR-727 its signature sound. The plugin also offers additional tuning, decay, and PCM clock adjustments for even more control over the sound.
The Roland TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin provides an authentic experience that closely resembles the original hardware. It features the same sound, immaculate dials and knobs, and a user-friendly interface. The plugin is available in two skins, a new or vintage skin, to match your aesthetic and style.
While the TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin delivers an accurate response to the original hardware, it goes beyond what is possible with vintage equipment. It features powerful sequencing, flexible tonal shaping, and drag-and-drop functionality for seamless multi-out setups. It is the perfect choice for modern musicians and music producers, especially live performers, who want an authentic vintage sound with the reliability of modern plugins.
The TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin allows you to sculpt and shape the sound exactly how you want for your productions. You can adjust the attack, tuning, and decay of each instrument, as well as introduce overdrive for a crunchy and distorted sound. Its sequencing capabilities are also advanced, allowing for programming flams, sub-steps, last-step, and per-instrument shuffle. With the TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin, creating complex and evolving sequences is easier than ever.
The plugin includes various features such as the original sample ROM, 64 patterns, and 15 sounds from the hardware unit, as well as newly designed patterns and kits for a modern style. It is compatible with VST3, AU, and AAX formats, making it compatible with most major DAWs. It also has native support for Apple silicon.
The Roland TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin takes your sound to the next level. With its accurate recreation of the original hardware, powerful sequencing capabilities, and flexible tonal shaping options, it is the perfect tool for contemporary musicians and music producers. Whether you’re looking for a vintage drum machine flavor or want to create modern dance floor music, the TR-727 Drum Machine Plugin has you covered.
