"Sounds just like the real latin percussion instument."

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.

  3. Uh oh! Shame on you! (Ok, ok. You're excused because of the analog content of the blog. ;) )

  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.
