"Modified Roland TR-606 / by Filippo Samore / TR-608 > as used by Hainbach on YT [posted here].
The TR-606 in 808 territory and beyond, with tuning, decay and tone mods.
' This Drummachine is on a another level and is a lot of fun (you become very creative) '
' 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.'
Examples:
Visit the phunkydesk dot com Domain / > the files after the slash (/) are as follows:
608_BD.wav, Loop1.wav, Loop2.wav
(there is no distortion/overdrive or clipping converters!)
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!
+ Kick: Tune, env Control, tone and decay.
You can also send the kick through the second output separately!
+ The Kick can also have "almost infinite" decay
+ Snare: same borrowed technology from the 808 but with an improved decay length.
It gives access to tune, snappy and decay.
+ L.H Toms: Tune independent from each other and cuts out the annoying noise present in their circuit.
+ Hi-Hats: Tune and decay, separate for both open and closed hats
++ Original Roland TR 606 carrying case
++ Device is serviced (while Mod)
++ Device checked in endurance test
(Batteries or the 9V TR-606 power supply)"
