All user reviews of 5/5 for the Roland TR-606

Ultra Connectivity Requirements: Synchro / DIN in / out. A mono master. A headphone jack.
A simple drum kit: BD-SN-HH closed / open-Tom hi / lo-CY and Accent. Clap alas no. No edition. No effect.
TR sequencer step / real time.

UTILIZATION

Everything is very clear, very simple.

SOUNDS

Sounds are legendary, so TR. Little foot, but Charleys hyper metal and singing to perfection. Snare more or less following the punchy accent, as on all percussion sounds ... Anyway reduced to the minimum ("The minimum for the maximum"), but there needs nothing more ultimately, exept one Clap, can be ...

OVERALL OPINION

After going through the 808, the 909 and its clones, I got to the 606 which certainly sounds much more light than his two older sisters (especially the kick) but that is just as enjoyable to play and make touner coupled BAR with another account I do not separate myself before long. She has her character all its own on each sound. Perfect for any production Electro, Acid or Downtempo. Its main weakness is the lack of separate outputs. Otherwise, nothing is wrong. It can only appeal to all those who love the analog sound. Even the design is excellent!

Plastic box of about 25 * 12 * 6 cm powered by batteries or adapter (battery life with batteries)
Headphone output
A mono line
An input or output SYNC24
A trig in out
7 sounds (BD, SD, LT, HT, CC, OH, CH) non-editable (except volume) + accent
Step sequencer, 16 not able to
Tempo Adjustable an knob to "blind"

Difficult to note, must be seen in the context of the time. In short I think it was not so bad, even if the biggest problem is that there's no mute by instrument

UTILIZATION

Composition very simple as all TR. Simply place the notes on time and 16 zou.
The manual is super clear.
Meets sync (master or slave, it is convenient)

SOUNDS

This is where it kills. The sound is 100% cheapness! But then it is cheap, what class!
The Super Kick is deemed low. Bret was true that even with the accent it's just a "click". But after a compressor that provides another key already. I was surprised!
The Snare is a terrible nazillard Just a short white noise!
The Cymbable is lightweight and super metal (it sucks not crash the 505 and 707)
The hi-hats are just as metallic and unrealistic
toms resemble anything but the toms!
In short, that's good for those who want to sound cheap, unrealistic, electro.
To emphasize shame about not assignable to the instrument but not only.

OVERALL OPINION

I had already possessed a long time ago that I could not use because I had nothing to do sync noon.
Having been a TB303 and a conversion box MIDI> SYNC24, I bought one (150 euros).
I do not really regret, despite his side still. Moreover sil are kits for giving it a second wind (~ http://members.ozemail.com.au/ Costain / (http://members.ozemail.com.au/) or http://www. users.globalnet.co.uk / ~ concuss/tr606-mods.htm (http://www.users.globalnet.co.uk/)) and try to morph into 808.
But even this was a raw gem.
I use a duo that TB303 anything that fits on an A3 sheet can kill a dancefloor!
So yes I am in love with this bike, but beware the price. I paid 150 euros and I think the upper limit for it is 200. Even though it was too expensive in terms of ability, you still have this to say that when buying this type of product, not buy an instrument, but also a beautiful object and a part of legend and that it is pay.

See other post for compltes CHARACTERISTICS.

UTILIZATION

The edition is simple, yes, but I use it less than bar, as supplment a rhythm on my SPS. In fact, I love to run the two together, my patterns have never dvastateurs as t
In addition, it is also fun CRER INTERESTED type industrial sound effects. : Lets turn the kick or tom (or 2) at maximum tempo. Adds the saturation / distortion, and will get you the beautiful sounds of engines pests.

SOUNDS

Aaaaaah!! this sound! These hi-hats impossible and sharp (like "tsk tsk ttstsssss"), this kick surraliste (like "tk tk tk"), the tom came from who knows o ("bm bm bm") and the snare unlikely ( "tchac tchac") ... that happiness !!!!!!! Ds I fell in love the very first time I heard them.
In addition, their very special grain allows the TR 606 to dtach idalie a complete mix.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it recently (five months), but it's as if I had always possd. Before you have it, I'm using dj kits in my 606 load sampler ... And since it is a box of my favorites that I will change it for anything (or can be only adding the outputs spares).
