"Modified Roland TR-606 dubbed the TR-608 As used by Hainbach. Takes the humble TR-606 and supercharges it into 808 territory and beyond with tuning, decay and tone mods. Incredible modified Roland TR-606 for sale. This is the TR-608, believed to have been modded by Filippo Samore. As used and loved by Hainbach (video below) who had this to say about it: “The mod is high-quality and truly enhances the sound engine of the 606 without compromising its handy form factor. It is almost like a TR-808 now, except maybe a little more interesting, because it is still a charmingly shuffling 606 at its core.” https://youtu.be/aovvoLD2BCs The main modification in this revisited classic is the complete redesign of the kick drum circuit with a lot of borrowed technology from the 808. - On the kick, It adds: Tune, env Control, tone and decay. - Similar thing with the snare, same borrowed technology from the 808 but with an improved decay length. - It gives access to tune, snappy and decay. - It adds tune for L.H toms independent from each other and cuts out the annoying noise present in their circuit. And finally the modification taps into the original circuit of the hi-hats opening the way to hands-on control of : Tune and decay, separate for both open and closed hats This example has had individual outs for kick, snare and toms added. It also has a Kenton Kadi port installed for anyone who already owns a Kadi box or a Kenton Pro with Kadi capabilities added then you are definitely cooking with gas! Voltage Information: Takes a standard 9v power supply (not included).
Lots of interest in this, so a couple of answers to questions: 1) The individual outs are Bass Drum, Snare, Toms 2) Each individual output has a fixed volume and is completely independent of the master output. You can still feed the bass drum out through the master output if you want. Or turn it down to mute it from the master volume. 3) Din Sync is untouched and works as originally intended by Roland."
