DR-910 VST plugin emulates Roland's TR-909 drum machine | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

MaxSynths' DR-910 VST plugin pays homage to Roland's iconic TR-909 drum machine, promising a faithful emulation with added features. It includes a reverb unit, a compressor tailored for drum sounds, and a lo-fi FX device, allowing users to shape their sound without needing additional plugins. However, its limitation as a 32-bit Windows-only VST might deter some modern producers looking for broader compatibility. At €24.99, it offers decent value, especially with a demo available for those wanting a test run. Overall, a solid choice for enthusiasts of vintage drum machine sounds, but with platform constraints.

New Virtual Instrument, Maxsynths DR-910, Inspired By Roland TR-909 Drum Machine – Synthtopia

synthtopia.com

While the MaxSynths DR-910 is praised for its low price and faithful recreation of the iconic TR-909 sounds, its lack of a built-in sequencer and limited platform support leave some potential users wanting more. It's a decent pick for those on a budget, but might not fully satisfy purists seeking a true 909 experience.

very good modelled 909

This sued to be a commercial plugin but all the macsynths stuff is freeware now. A lot of the synthesizers are just okay, ut I really like the sound of their 909 simulation. Generally if I wanna do the roland house drum machine thing I use a mixture of good samples and maybe some extra kick 4on-the-floor looped for a few bars offa my dr55, but when I first got this last year I was really taken with the sound. Apart from the cymbals which, like a 909 are sample based, this guy uses a little VA synth engine to replicate the rest of the drums. The toms sound particularly nice in a cheesy 80s way. Anyway, it doesn't sound JUST like a 909 but its big in a way samples aren't before processing. Drawback is that while there's a good internal mixer and some effects including a bare bones compressor and algorithmic reverb there are NO individual outs like a real 303 so everything gets routed to a stereo bus. My work around was to set up 2 or 3 separate instances when iw ant more control but its really a waste of CPU power. Its cool to use 1 of these layered with your samples on individual channels where you treat the plugin like a pair of overheads and the samples as close mics but you need to spend a lot of time ear tuning the plugin to match the pitch and you need to pay attention to the phase of your samples by ear to prevent washiness and dissonance. Still, one of the better 909 plugins out there for capturing the vibe if not the precise sound. Its nice to be able to tweak the knobs in real time. Good luck doing that with even the nicest samples.
