"We're very very excited to offer instruments from Diabolical Devices and their sister company Class A Electronics. Diabolical takes instruments like the Roland TR-707 drum machine, the Casio SK-1 and others and modifies them. Whether it's a pitch mod for every drum sound, or a banana plug patch bay for different bends, or an added LFO, these pieces come back from the dead!
Here's a picture of a circuit bent TR-7027. This is a Roland TR-707 that also has the sounds from a Roland TR-727. You can switch back and forth. All the drum sounds have pitch mods with knobs to control the bends. They also have three separate global bends and a cymbal delay bend. On the left there's a banana plug patch bay allowing you to link several bends at once creating some truly unique sounds.
Class A Electronics makes some incredible guitar pedals as well as small wattage tube amplifiers and more. Check back with us soon for the latest from these guys!"
I think it's quite sad people are violating the mighty Tr-707 by bending it. It's a nice sounding machine, no need to disfigure it by adding features.
ReplyDeleteIt's just visually, you can get the original sounds out of it if you want.
ReplyDeleteImagine it's Robocop, this 707 has all kinds of cool stuff up his sleeves but deep inside he's still officer Murphy, yaknow?
that's an interesting way to put it, but the difference is Robocop looks cool.
