Hello people of the internets!
I'm selling my Roland TR-626 which I modded and cased in a custom wooden housing.
Let's just start with some pics, shall we?
The patchpoints in the top-left connect to the main ROM, lots of bends possible there. Under those points, there are volumeknobs for all 8 channels, that go from mute, to normal to crunchy. next to that is a small patchbay. the switches on the bottom connect the middle point to either the left of the right (of the white and the red points), the knobs control the resistance between top&bottom left, and top&bottom right. (sounds complicated, I know, it's just some options to give you some control over the bends.
Then there are 8 inputs for each gate of the 8 channels. you can plug in points from the circuit bend points to override the samples, or you can plug in external audio to run through the gates of the 626 (incoming audio needs to be really loud tho)
under those 8 points are 8 switches to mute each channel.
Then there are 4 inputs in various points of the audio lines. which makes for different kinds of bassline madness and distorted audio. lots to experiment.
And at the bottom, 4 switches. Two different kinds of pitch bends, one auto-flam / echo bend. And one switch that sort of overrides the gates, which can give crunchy effects.
I made a quick video, but I dunno what happened there .. but the sound is ok. I'll export the video again tomorrow.
I'm asking €345,- for this thing. May sound like a lot, but there's lots of work in it, all by hand. And you get a machine with lots and lots of options.
If you have gear to trade, I may consider doing it with part money, part gear. I'm always looking for gameboys and drumcomputers.
If you have any questions / remarks / counteroffers : Let me know!
cheers, Timbob.
