Led modification
All the LEDs was getausch by clear leds. Where the Pattern
each fourth LED having a different color.

Trigger LED Modification
In the pictures you can see below the dials still Leds. The flashing when e.g. a bass drum or hi-hat is struck in the pattern.

For me, the modifications to the snare drum, hi-hat and cymbal are the best. The trigger Led modification has indeed sees no impact on the sound but just in extremely dark from Cool ;)

As you can see, the controls are mounted so that they destroy as no lettering of the TR 606. A caption of the buttons do not exist. I but I am enclosing a picture where it can be seen which button does what.

The device is of the age in good condition. There are a few light scratches on the top. But everything is still in the frame and is not covered further on. The battery compartment is of course still available.

This is the MSY1 it can start right away and synchronize the TR 606 to the sequencer via Midi. For this purpose, must be set in the sequencer MIDI clock is transmitted.

When checking if the device is ok I again realized how much fun this thing. Operation is simple and intuitive with the modifications you have more great influence on the sound.
But I've been doing for 8 years, no more music and the TR 606 was in the closet ever since. Therefore only give to someone you frequently used than I am!)


The 606 TR works as far as I could test it properly. Because private sales, I take no guarantee or warranty, no return possible."

Includes Doepfer MSY1 MIDI to Sync Converter.
