Roland TR-06 Drumatix Drum Machine

Roland TR-06 Drumatix Drum Machine

Roland has introduced the TR-06 Drumatix , the latest addition to the Boutique series that blends the sounds and workflow of the ‘ 80s-era TR-606 hardware with modern enhancements .
This new Boutique version captures the distinctive tone and look of the original while reimagining it with new sound-crafting potential . Users can control tuning , decay , and pan for each instrument , or up the internal gain for each circuit model and push it into warm overdrive or aggressive distortion . An onboard compressor adds fullness and punch while the tempo delay creates depth and space .
Like the original , the TR-06 has a familiar and straightforward step sequencer , but now it ' s been updated with advanced features like substeps for ratcheted parts , step-loop for instant pattern slicing , and more . With five trigger outputs and a trigger input , the TR-06 integrates with modular setups . It ’ s also a high-quality USB audio interface and features battery operation and a built-in speaker for production on the go .
