Re: Drum machines


I use (and like) a Roland TR626.
You can pick one up for 70-120pounds depending on condition
and at that pice they are great fun.
OK the sounds are very 80s but, hey, isn't that all coming back?
What I really like us the user interface (with BIG LCD screen)
Start in TapWrite and bang in a rhythm (very like using Overbud
on the EDP) adding bits at each pass of the sequence,
then switch to StepWrite and "improve" or add parts + acsents + shuffle
then into Play mode and improvise bits on top.
