ROLAND TR-606

Plug In Your Own TR-606

Original TR-606 units are increasingly hard to find and sell for significant sums on the used market. Using our proprietary ACB (Analog Circuit Behavior) technology, we’ve painstakingly recreated the original analog circuits that are the essence of the TR-606’s sound. Our plug-in sounds identical to the original TR-606—with all its nuance and detail—while adding new features that greatly expand its sound and creative capabilities for modern musicians and producers:

• Tuning and decay on each instrument, plus the ability to overdrive the internal circuitry for fat and gritty new sounds
• The classic TR-606 step sequencer, expanded with lanes for each sound to enable faster and more fluid programming
• Each pattern has eight variations for evolving sequences that keep things interesting
• Drag and drop audio or MIDI patterns from the plug-in directly into a project
• Adjustable flams, sub-steps, and soft hits for creating detailed fills and ratcheted sequences
• Each instrument has its own “last step” and shuffle settings, so you can play with timing, experiment with complex meters, and dial in just the right groove

Hardware Integration

The TR-606 plug-in integrates seamlessly with our TR-8S Rhythm Performer and Roland Boutique TR-06 hardware instruments. Transfer patterns from the TR-8S to the TR-606 plug-in, or create beats in your DAW and send them back to the hardware for live performance. And with its pre-mapped controls, you can use the TR-06 for hands-on operation of the plug-in.
