Never heard the Latin reference before. Anyone know more?

  1. matrix, you never heard of the TR727?

    has different sound EPROMs, a different LCD overlay, and (I think) some slightly different VCA decays for some of the instruments.

    oh, and a blue color scheme instead of orange.

    otherwise identical to the 707.

  2. Ah, that's right. I forgot. They don't seem to come up too often. I did find this previous video post of a Diabolical Devices modified 727. The other posts don't mention the Latin connection.

  4. Way over priced! Same with his 303.

  5. "Latin" as in latin american... has some congas, bongos, etc. Doesn't sound very good imo.
