Roland TR-606 Vintage Analogue Drum Machine With Original Case and Original ManualAbsolutely mint conditionBattery compartment is in perfect condition, looks like it's never had batteries in itOnly a few points to mention regarding cosmetics, there is a mark on the bottom of the unit, looks like paint missing from when it was sprayed when new, a set of circles, maybe a set of new rubber feet obscured the paint process when manufactured. Could easily be resprayed to rectify this.There are letters "PQ" written in black marker inside the case lid. Other than that, the 606 is pristine and functions perfectly.I've had this unit for a few years and it's been great. I used it with a Boss HC2 and PC2 triggered from the two trigger outputs, lots of fun!I'll take a picture of the manual shortly and upload, also immaculate condition.Taken from Vintage Synth website:A cool little box! So primitive and cute! The 606 was the percussion side-kick to the TB-303. It even looks like the 303. It stores up to 32 patterns and 8 songs. The 606 allows switching between Pattern Play and Write mode while running - making the 606 the only drumcomputer in the X0X series that can be edited while performing and switching patterns. It is also possible to link up to 4 consecutive patterns in Pattern Play mode. There is only a mono audio output, however there are mods from Kenton Electronics and Analog Solutions that will add individual outputs for each drum tone.The 606 has seven analog drum sounds which are simple, yet great! Kick, Snare, 2 toms, open hat, closed hat, cymbal, accent. The hi-hats are a very tinny electronic sound and its toms are great for soft tribal patterns. These seven sounds alone are still quite popular today, and the 606 has been used by Überzone, Cirrus, Sneaker Pimps, Download, Aphex Twin, Astral Projection, Nine Inch Nails, Mr. Oizo, Jimi Tenor, Kid 606, OMD, Moby, Freddy Fresh, Autechre, Luke Vibert, Orbital, and Union Jack.For control, the 606 can receive or transmit DINSync for synchronization with other TR and TB family instruments. There are also two trig-outs on the unit, which make it very valuable as a pattern-programmable dual-channel trigger sequencer. It's often used for this by various people (Jimi Tenor) to 'drive' other sequencers and the like.
