Modded Roland TR-505 Rhythm Composer

via this auction

"This unit has been modified to accept a circuit board that provides individual outputs. You can see the outputs on the back panel in the images. Some sounds are shared on the same output, but the kick and snare have their own outs. The output jacks are 1/16". Included are 4 - 1/16" to RCA cables. The modification was an after market option offered by another company not Roland."


Update via Keegan in the comments: "Left to right: Bass, Snare, Hand Clap/Rim Shot, L/H Cowbell, L/H Conga, Closed/Open HH, Crash/Ride, L/M/H Tom.

They are grouped together because you can only play one of each sound at a time.

Anyone have any info on this mod? I'd like to do it to my 505."

via Ian: "http://www.burnkit2600.com/tr-505/ has info for getting individual outputs (among other things.)"

  3. This might be my old 505 I bought new and modded. The mount location and sticker look very familiar! Anyone have any idea where this ended up? :D
