Based on the first revision of the legendary Roland TR-909, Beaotic XT-909 faithfully reproduces the sound of the original while adding a bunch of new sounds, extra features and sonic capabilities.


In addition to all the classic 909-sounds that you know and love, we've recorded a collection of hi-hat/percussion instruments and processed them in our Ensoniq Mirage sampler for true low 8-bit fidelity. We've also added electronic effect sounds from our analog modular synth to spice up your beats. 


The XT-909 is not a one-to-one clone of the TR-909. Obviously it does not have a built in sequencer like the original. But the XT-909  offers more controls, wider parameter range, more sounds and modern features such as automation, altogether making it a more versatile and in many ways a much more expressive instrument.



Key features

BMS (Beaotic Mapping Standard)

Note and control mapping are the same across all Beaotic kits, making it possible to exchange kits along the way without thinking about note and control data.
RANDOM SAMPLE SELECT
Every time a note is triggered, a random variation of the designated sample (different from the two previous) is triggered. This custom algorithm effectively eliminates the so-called machine gun effect.
VELOCITY ACCENT adds a random sample select layer for velocities at or above 85. Velocities at or below 84 hold the random sample select layer without Accent. This makes it possible to mimic Accent on a per-note basis. The Accent slider controls the Volume on the accent layers.
VELOCITY TO START results in a sonic expression very different from Velocity to VCA (volume). It controls the start position within each sample via Velocity. The harder you hit the note, the closer you get to the actual start of the sample.
OSCILLATOR DRIFT is a function that adds a subtle pitch randomization, very similar to the pitch drift on old analog oscillators. By using Oscillator Drift you get a more organic pitch.
IMPACT is a powerful feature of the Bass Drums group. On BD1 - BD4 it works just like the Attack parameter on an original TR-909. On BD5 - BD6 it works as a booster.
SNAPPY in the Snare Drums 2 group resembles that of a classic Roland drum machine, but we added Snappy Color and Snappy Decay for more flexibility and fun.
STICK BALANCE in the Hi-Hat 2 group adjusts the balance between the "ringing" character of the hi-hat on one side, and the "clicky" character of the drumstick on the other side.
Authentic pitch logo AUTHENTIC PITCH is a feature that mimics the pitch character of a given source. In this kit, Authentic Pitch is featured on Hi-hat 2, Djembes, Claves, Shakers, Tambourines and Cowbells, all recorded and processed in the 8-bit Mirage sampler. Of course, it's still possible to modulate the pitch in real-time, individually on any sound.
COLOR
The color parameter lets you select between sound-variations sampled through analog hardware filters, bit crushers, or pre-amps. In XT-909 you'll find the Color knob on SD2 Snappy.
NOTE EDIT is where you make individual adjustments of Pitch, Level, Pan and Output of each notes's sound. Pitch can be either absolute or relative to that of the group.
HIGH SAMPLE RATE
All samples in every Beaotic kit are recorded at 96 kHz. This gives each sound a more accurate amount of overtones, notably when pitched down. Of course it's all recorded in 24 bit with the shortest possible signal chain.
FREE UPDATES are included for the entire product lifetime. All accessories, templates and guides will be developed and made available on this webpage for free as well.
