The TR-606 was introduced in 1981 as a companion to the TB-303 Bass Line. With its size, price, as well as ease of use, the programmable drum machine made home music production possible for the masses. Musicians loved the punchy kicks, popping toms and crackling hi-hats, which were used in a wide variety of genres in the '80s - from new wave to punk to electronic music. Within the TR family, the sound of the 606 takes a special position and served as the basis for countless hits and underground classics. The distinctive sound found many fans - but it was not particularly versatile. The TR-06 brings the original back to life, adding new sound design options and powerful built-in effects to the 606. Control tuning, decay, and pan for each instrument, or turn up the internal gain to smoothly tweak the modeled circuitry as needed.
