Description

Edit description

The 9090 or "TR9090" was an open source Roland TR909 clone that could be built from a project kit. The units cloned the tone circuits of the 909, but without the sequencer. All drum voices were organized into a rack module that could be triggered via midi.

In the infamous gear list within 2014's Syro album artwork, Aphex Twin lists a "TR9090", which was a common way to refer to the open source Project 9090, a TR-909 clone project that was in its prime at that time. Building your own TR9090 gave you a rack-mounted TR-909 cone that could be triggered via MIDI.

Examples of builders calling these things "TR9090":

Building a more-controllable TR-909 clone from a kit is pretty on-brand for Richard James. BTW, these things sound great.
