The other silver box.
Launched in 1981 as a companion model to the TB-303 Base Line, the TR-606 was a programmable drum machine whose size, price and ease of use made homebrewing accessible to all. With its punchy kicks, crackling toms and shrill hi-hats, it became a hit among amateur musicians and was heard across genres from 80s new wave and punk to a variety of electronic styles.
What if you could...
The 606's sound is unique within the TR family and is the basis for countless classics and underground tracks. While its distinctive tone was loved by many, it was not very versatile. The TR-06 delivers a new version of the original with new sound editing potential and stunning built-in effects. Control the tuning, decay and pan for each instrument or increase the internal gain to bring warm overdrive or aggressive distortion to your circuit model. The built-in compressor adds warmth and punch, while the tempo delay creates depth and space with almost imperceptible repeats or controlled chaos.
Advanced Sequencer.
As with the original, the TR-06's step sequencer is familiar and straightforward, so you can quickly and easily create any beat. Now it's enhanced with advanced features like adjustable substeps for rattling sections, step loops for instantly cutting patterns, and probability for each step to create beats that never get tired.
It gets along with the modulator.
Many modular and tabletop kits lack a quality, practical drum sequencer that is easy to use. The TR-06 features five Trigger Out outputs and one Trigger In input, making it easy to connect it to other equipment and give room for new ideas and creative possibilities. Sequencing is fast and smooth, and you can combine and layer your external modules alongside the TR-06's internal sounds for stunning rhythm sequences.
Built for durability, ready for anything.
Like the other Roland Boutique models, the TR-06 has a quality, rugged construction with a metal top and a color-coordinated case with three degrees of tilt. It also has a high-quality USB audio interface for quick and easy recording with your computer, and with standard AA batteries, it lasts for hours of undisturbed jamming. It even has a built-in speaker - you never know what life may throw at you.
Hardware meets software.
Pair the TR-06 with the TR-606 Software Rhythm Composer available on the Roland Cloud and enjoy all the benefits of easy hardware and software integration. The TR-606 plugin offers enhanced sequencing capabilities and the TR-06 drivers are pre-configured for an intuitive, straightforward creative process.
