Iconic status
First released in 1981, the TR-606 was the perfect companion to the TB-303. The wide range of tones it provided levelled the playing field. Finally, home recordists could achieve "record-ready" drum sounds without the need for a professional, high-end studio. Over time, the TR-606 has cemented its legendary status in popular music. Its thunderous kicks and sizzling snares have become the driving force for many genres. From Hip Hop to Lo-Fi, and New Wave to Punk. It came. It saw. It conquered.
Made for modern music makers
Push your sounds into uncharted sonic territory with the wide range of functionality on offer. You'll be free to manipulate the pitch, length and the panning position of each instrument. Push the internal gain beyond its limits to achieve unique saturation and natural forms of compression. For dynamic control and punch, adjust the on-board compressor. The inclusion of tempo delays provides a unique sense of depth and unpredictability that's sure to enhance and inspire any rhythm. This is no one-trick-pony. The seemingly infinite number of options available will rejuvenate your approach to the way that you perform and make music.
Need inspiration? no problem
The intuitive on-board step sequencer allows any user to easily programme quick rhythms. What's more, advanced features such as sub-steps and step-loop keep the process fresh. Creating and writing music will never become tiresome with the TR-06 in your set-up. Use the on-board trigger in and outs to merge your interface with other equipment. The ability to combine your equipment with other modular and table top rigs allows you to expand on the impossible, generating the most awe-inspiring rhythms possible.
