Heaven for Chris


flickr by quasarsglow.

"Surrounded by things he loves. The place had about 250 individual musical instrument stores."

Reminds me of FiveG. Anyone know where this is?

Update via QuasarsGlow in the comments:
"It is in Seoul, South Korea. The place is huge. Its called Nagwon or Nangwon. I forget which, but yes, about 2-300 shops full of musical kit. Loads of pianos, guitars, brass, woodwinds, synths, effects pedals. Chris in the photo ended up buying a Mu-tron biphase effects pedal and a left-handed cutaway acoustic guitar for about $700US all told."

"This site will one day detail modifications (mods) to all sorts of electronic instruments. For now however, it documents mods of my Roland TR-606, turning it into a Roland TR-666. The TR-666 is a beast that is part 606, part 808 and part devil.

Basically, as you can see from my pictures, I've added 19 new knobs (one is internal), and a switch to a Roland TR-606 to allow for some pretty smooth or freaky sound control. The new controls are:

BD. Tune, Tone, Decay, Pitch. (also internal max. decay limit)
SD. Tune, Snappy, Decay
HT. Tune
LT. Tune, Pitch
HH (common). LPF, BPF
OHH. Decay
CHH. Decay
CY. BPF (common to HH also), BPF (separate), Decay
System Noise Amount.
Tempo Fine Tune"

Title link takes you to more info including samples and a close-up of the knob box.
