Circuit bent modular style Roland TR-626 drum machine


YouTube Uploaded by frostedminipete on Aug 29, 2009

"Fooling around with my favorite, biggest project so far outside (mind the "outside" noises). The first section of the video is just mods applied to a single pattern repeating. The rhythm at times due to the RAM being scrambled :] but it's all one pattern until the switch at 4:14 ish

This thing took forever to finish. There's more info at the burnkit2600 website on the TR626 section and here: http://tinyurl.com/nz5ukl

Fully rehoused in custom cut and stained wood, huge patch bay (96 points including multiplexing bay and 12 patch control bay), volume knobs and kill switches, kit switches, "fill" switches and buttons, pitch down, distortions, and... the possibilities are literally endless with this thing.

You can create little squarewave melodies with it as well by replacing certain sounds with synth sounds and then changing the pitch. I didn't do much of that in this video, this was just fooling around.

Everything I've done to this machine is fully documented. You can access it on the burnkit website in a word document. I need a website of my own :P"
