"Modified in a similar way to my other 505 except this one was already 'perma bent' to a minor degree when i picked it up. The drum sounds have always been slightly odd and the toms and low conga sound strange when you turn the pitch up beyond it's standard setting. Building a distortion circuit into it proved to be a major headache due to it's bizarre flaws so i took a look at www.burnkit.com and found a cool square wave injection modification there. It may not have the nasty edge of my other tr505 built into it but it has a larger range of sounds. It still sounds cool through some distortion though so at 2.59 i processed the audio in soundforge through the ohm boys vst plugin ohmicide before compiling the video. Ohmicide is the best vsti distortion out there in my opinion and gives a good example of how cool this thing would sound through some decent hardware fx.

Thanks to the guys at www.burnkit2600.com for putting the time into their site and sharing so much good info on not only the tr505 but the 626, hr16 and lots of other stuff."
