In this video I service and clean my old TR-909, and I'll tell you the easy fix for 90% of the problems with a TR-909. It is the second time my TR-909 had this problem, and this time it repaired itself.
The classic Roland TR-909 needs no introduction, if you have heard of drum machines, you have heard of it and it's older sibling, the TR-808.

Great video, my 909 has some issues with the pattern leds and I might try cleaning the connectors!

@RegebroRepairs 2 года назад

Did it work?

@RegebroRepairs 2 года назад

Do you still have your 909, I would need a set of clean 909 samples from a second 909, for a video comparing the sounds with a RD-9.

@cryptout 2 года назад

@@RegebroRepairs yes I still have it. Did not get it serviced yet though.

@RegebroRepairs 2 года назад

@@cryptout That's OK, I just need some clean sounds recorded from the main mono out. Could you mail me? regebro@gmail.com

@ianpreece6391 2 года назад

wow your 909 is in great shape! You mustve got it very cheap 30 years ago? I miss those days of bargain hunting for classic analog gear :)

@RegebroRepairs 2 года назад

IIRC correctly I paid 3000 SEK for it, I think it was 1987, maybe 1988. I've never toured or anything, so yeah, it's in great shape.

Do you know how to save patters to the memory cartridge? I have a TR-909 and I haven't yet been able to figure it out.

@RegebroRepairs Год назад

It's a long time ago since the battery in my cartridge died, so I can't verify it, but I never had any problems, and just followed the instructions on page 33 in the manual...

@Flashback_Jack 6 месяцев назад

@@RegebroRepairs Forgotten I even asked this question. I recognized shortly after the fact that as long as you have a fresh battery inside the unit, the patterns will be saved even without the power, so memory card not needed. Good enough for me.

Do I hear a north germanic accent? Have been learning some Swedish during the last years and your perfect english contains some elements of the north germanic singsang.

@RegebroRepairs 2 года назад

Singsong? ♫ Aj had ♬ no ♪ ajdii what you are ♩tåking about. ♫ 😀

lennart does RS and CLP share accent? not TOTAL but normal accent

@RegebroRepairs 2 года назад

Rimshot, hand clap, open hi hat, crash and ride has no individual accent on the 909, only total. The are all velocity sensitive via MIDI though, amazingly enough.
