Inspired by the Roland TR-606 Drumatix, the Cyclone Analogic TT-606 Drum Drone is an analogue drum processor featuring an additional sequencer and expanded option set. The TT-606 has individual outputs for each instrument, MIDI In/Out & Thru, headphone jack and an amplifier send.
The instruments included are bass drum, snare, low & high toms, cymbal, open & closed hihats, rimshot and clap. A fixed parameter can be adjusted for each sound using the instrument selection switch whilst the sequencer is running. The parameters for each sound are as follows: Bass drum – Pitch, Snare drum – Snappy, Low & High Toms – Pitch, Cymbal – Decay, Open HiHat – Decay, Close HiHat – Pitch, Rim Shot – Decay and Clap – Mix Noise. Furthermore each track has access to an additional ACCENT track, FLAM track and ROLL track.
During runtime the sequencer can be varied between 1/16, 1/32, 8 Triple and 16 Triple times, and TT-606 features an eight stage shuffle. Users can program in either real-time or via running light as the situation requires.
