Acidlab has announced a new analog drum machine, inspired by the Roland TR-909, Detroit.
The Acidlab Detroit is based on the analog circuits of the TR-909, but with added sound parameters.
Audio demos, and details on pricing and availability, are still to come.
It’s ok but I want a drum machine with some bite to like the DMX or Linn LM1 even Yamaha’ s RX series “Damn go ahead and do the Roland’s R8 then”
Seems like an incredibly nontopical critique.
Those are all either samples or digital.
Acidlab almost exclusively does analog. Meanwhile, since Roland is still pushing their ACB stuff, there aren’t all that many ways of getting an analog 909 without going Eurorack, DIY, or for the massive price of an original.
192 pattern memory. Hell yea!
I hope it’s less than $990!
The Drumatix is 660 Euro, the Miami is 880 Euro…I guess the Detroit will be 990 Euro.
Still interesting though. The Roland TR 09 remake was, imho, a major letdown (argh, that rimshot). Looking forward to the sound demos.
A Sonicstate review would be the cherry on the cake 😉
I totally agree. Just wishful thinking. Too many must haves on my list already!
It totally makes logical sense it would be $990 but I hope he breaks the pattern on this one.
It looks mostly similar to the Miami and there’s possibly less circuitry since a few of the sounds are samples, at least in the original. I would almost feel it has to be $909. Unless the circuits on the 909 have way more to them compared to the 808 than I realized, I’d feel it’s almost less for more at $990.

Awesome, yet another Roland drum clone. 🙁
My thoughts exactly. It’s done to death.
PICTURES OF BRANDNEW “MPC LIVE” LEAKED!

Synthtopia should make a posting!!
There’s also a link to manuals and everything… https://fccid.io/Y4O-ACV8
I’ve been hoping for a long time that Acidlab would produce a 909 clone. I have a Bombass (deluxe 303) from him and it’s amazing. It sounds great and is built so well you could run it over with a tank and it would still work.
Finally someone’s gonna do it, shame it looks like Acidlab balls though, cannot stand their aesthetic
I wish Acidlabs would include midi out on their drum machines. Id probably buy one if it wasnt for that.
From the picture, it seems it has a midi output for sending clock.
I’d like a CR-78 clone
e-licktronik NAVA is a real clone and it is already available 🙂
That’s cool but acidlad doesn’t answer to emails….
Plenty of room in the market for this somewhere in between the TR-09, NAVA, Tiptop’s Eurorack and the real deal TR-909.
Excited to see this in the flesh and wonder what new tricks it might have.
More Roland clone? People just can’t be original huh?
Of course people want to be original, just look around at the other gear available. But people also want these kind of sounds as well, so why not make it if people want it
I can’t hate on a 909 clone. Have you heard a 909? Name another that hits as hard..
Admin: Personal attack deleted. Keep comments on topic and constructive.
Lol a new synth thing is released, and imminent personal attacks ensue. It really is the year of being offended.
Will be patient & Can’t wait…
Impossible, You Will never get THE loose timing and 6 bit aggression of samples hi hat and ride of the original TR-909machine, there in big chips stored (its incredible!) it’s THE secret that only kikumoto has delivered to THE original 303, 808, 909. Rolands new modern versions are A Joke as Well … simulating, Really iT doesnt feel reel at all….
What Roland should have done. Another Roland FAIL.
why hasn’t the drumdrone appeared on synthopia yet?
