Hi folks,
I know it’s like making a comparaison between apples and pears but I do have a TR-909 but while I love, I’m slowly looking to swap it for the AR which can cover more my needs.
I was wondering if any of you in here did that swap ? If so, adding 909 samples into it helps you to get the same flavour in case you miss is sometimes ? 
Have a good day !

Sell the 909, get an ARmk2 and a TR-09, profit 
Joking aside, that would be a smaller footprint, more capable setup, but you do have to consider if you might regret getting rid of the original 909, chances are you’ll have to pay more in the future than what you’d get for it today.
Coming from someone who sold lots of classic gear in recent years including 808 and 909, I don’t regret it but what I sold them for a few years back is less than half what they currently sell for, so there is very little chance of me getting a 808 or 909 again.
But I don’t want them, I’m more happy with the gear I currently have so no regrets.
Edit: Yes sample the hell out of it before you sell it.
Exactly my though. I was thinking about a RYTM and TR-8S or a TR-08 & 09 they sound very good !
I’ll give you a Digitakt and a packet of custard creams for it…
A couple of TR-8s owners on here have mentioned they preferred the 09 over the TR-8s version of the 909, but if you get plenty of samples of your 909 then you might want to go with the TR-8s for the improved sequencing then load it up with your own 909 samples?
Sounds like a deal !
Yes but I guess that would be a cool idea to load my 909 sample into the RYTM no ?
Yeah definitely, that is a whole other ball game though 
sell 909 , buy rytm , go on holiday .
This comment made my day !
or you could sell 909 , buy rytm mk2 and re909 and still have money left over.

theres a few 909 recreations appeared recently .
Yes I saw that and following their work for ages. If I sell the 909, I’d got for sample on the RYTM if I miss it I guess
Buy a TR09 as well, take that on holiday…
Honestly, the TR09 is well worth having. Then you wont ever “miss the 909” and you can easily afford it with the sale of the OG, even of you buy a AR.
There is something about the TR909 which is unique, you cannot replicate it on an AR or on a TR09
It was also discussed in one of the Stoor hang outs by Surgeon and Speedy J
If I had TR 909 I would never sell it
Samples do not produce the same result
I saw that video. I quite enjoy all of their stream
That little 09 is indeed quite powerful !
Yes - I tried it- kick is ok
Hi hat and rest of percussion not so much
I had the chance two 909 and they sounded very different so I bet the 09 sounds different too
Maybe that’s true, maybe it isnt. Question is, does it matter?
If the OP is considering getting rid of the TR909, that suggests to me at least, that the TR909 isnt that special.
As with most instruments, its mostly subjective anyway right?
I second this.
I love the machine, don’t get me wrong but I’m just seeing myself doing drums I prefer with my modular or my A4. I’m just a bit afraid to regret but time will tell
