CR‑78 Software Rhythm Composer

The CR-78 Software Rhythm Composer from Roland brings the legendary 1978 programmable drum machine to your DAW with component-level Analog Circuit Behavior modeling. You get the warm kick, crisp snare, silky cymbals, and exotic percussion like congas and guiro, all with the organic variation of the original analog circuitry. Beyond vintage authenticity, deep editing lets you tune, adjust decay, level, and pan per instrument, while advanced sequencing offers variable sub-steps, accents, shuffle, and last-step control. A curated preset library spans classic and contemporary kits, and drag-and-drop pattern arrangement with tempo sync makes it easy to build grooves. The resizable high-DPI interface includes woodgrain and black skins. Whether you produce synth-pop, new wave, or futuristic beats, this instrument suits hobby producers seeking iconic rhythm with modern flexibility. It runs as AU, VST3, and AAX, integrating smoothly with FL Studio, Ableton, and Logic.
