Roland Boutique TR-06 Drum Machine Overview (Part 1 of 2)

[@nodamagedone84]

I got the TR-8 and the TR-06 they work great together, lobbing my DFAM through the 06 you can get up to all sorts of dirty mischief. Turns out I really like drum machines.

[@sullycliftona]

How ,,' i do the old skool noncomputer,, so how doyou get both machines without a mixer . Sound ing from speakers also , r u using trigger or trigger cables and midi .. really want min😂 going , but they dont sound from one speaker monitor what am i doing wrong

[@bladerunnersynthwave]

My jaw dropped at the tuning, decay and sends. I had a 606 briefly in the 90s so these additions are excellent to me!

[@NeoLudditevisons]

The TR-06 is the dark horse big time! loads you can do with it!

[@SuperWave86]

Hallelujah my new toy!!! Totally love this! Want it now!! Super versatile! Next up Roland TR-07 boutique version of the Roland TR-707! Long live Italo Disco and the 80's

[@user-or3ce4gt2r]

Yeah ! Probability for all previous drum machines needed 🙌

[@raffitchakmakjian]

came down here to see all the things people will complain about even though Roland is releasing cool gear.

[@Zeal808]

🤣💯 it’s such a banging machine. Glad I got one

[@rorz999]

Roland have been killing it again for years now and some people still don't realise it. The boutiques are great, so is the MC-707/MC-101

[@Wulfcry]

Roland made step sequencing to the next level, that allot of sequencing capability for such a small box.

[@Zeal808]

Exactly. It’s a really good sequencer..plus sounds and it’s a fx’s unit via the mix-in

[@RzRipper]

All we need now is the TR07, I love that conga.

[@TH3_FURY]

Sounds not bad at all... with some great features and options ... We are waiting for a TR-07 now !

[@rorz999]

I find it really strange that they haven't done a TR-07 yet. I'd love a boutique CR-78 as well, probably won't happen but a man can dream

[@TheDeathBeatsOfficial]

I had no idea this machine was in the works but I'm glad it's finally here!

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

Roland you know you’ll now need to provide an update for both the tr09/08 😁😜

[@oxygenlevelscritical]

I wish all these features (probability, send FX, etc) were available on the TR-08.

[@RobertSaintJohn]

Great demo, sold! I never quite got on with my TR-09, but this looks very fast, very intuitive

[@HT-ue6qb]

Wow, really nice machine it is! I have already TR-8 with 7x7 expansion, but will get TR-06 it adds more flexibility and is so cool machine to be paired with my 03. The inbuilt effects are cool feature. Thank you Roland! 👍👍👍

[@jeremymurray-wakefield8011]

I threw away my TR-606 thirty years ago because it was broken and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Not long afterwards I figured out what the fault was. I've been kicking myself for thirty years at this stupidity. Buying a TR-06 will finally allow me to forgive myself and be at peace once more - I loved that machine.

[@MurrayDagostino]

Sounds really good.

[@gusgarcia4461]

This is a really demo. I like what I hear. I’m getting one.

[@MichaelSouhoka]

Will there be a TR-07 and TR-27 as replicas of TR-707 and TR-727? I wish...

[@rorz999]

Hopefully it does happen, although there's no need for two separate machines, they could put 707 and 727 sounds in the same box for the boutique

[@ruskbask]

I'm really not much into all this usb/daw output. Could we please have a USB-jack breakout box for us who likes to do it the old fashioned way? 😊

[@tsuobachi]

Finally a 606 that is worth buying. Behringer totally dropped the ball on theirs, this is actually significantly better than I was even hoping for. All I wanted was tuning, decay, panning, and compression. This is far better than that.

[@rorz999]

Totally agree with you, the Behringer RD-6 is crap, the only good thing really is that they added a clap and the individual outs, and the distortion circuit is OK I guess. The TR-06 is way better, and hugely underrated

[@ManCalledMif]

4:15 industrial streets of rage sound right there 8:16 combination of TR-06 and TB-03 🙌🏼 SOLD

[@director2bob]

Thanks for pointing that out as I have a TB-03 and I am also sold.

[@detroittrickster3327]

yes the ultimate setup

[@apecityelectronicsoundstudio]

Looks great and neat sequencer features but I've got a TR-8s and an original 606 (with a HC-2!) so that niche is filled but glad you've given the 606 some attention. Just can't help imagining how good a 707/727 boutique would be with all the volume sliders (and 505 and 626 bonus sounds!).

[@wickeddubz]

What is HC-2?

[@rorz999]

@@wickeddubz the Boss HC-2, it's a hand-clap synth pedal. The story goes that Roland/Boss released it so that 606 owners could pair it with their 606 to have a clap sound, since there's no clap on the original 606

[@AlexBallMusic]

Some pretty nifty upgrades, especially to changing the tuning / decay / snappy etc. That was always one of the drawbacks of the original. Most of all, beyond functionality, it sounds cool.

[@formidableexe]

If they only added a special clap like the Korg DDM-110

[@AlexBallMusic]

@@formidableexe Opportunity missed.

[@theMIDImaniac]

@@formidableexe Hi! Apparently there are more sounds available in the TR-06. I just found this vid and there's a clap available :D kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqa4lGttgZp4q8k

[@gregbroadhead6085]

looks good bought an original 606 years back with box +original packaging manuals when no was interested in this old stuff £30 english pounds crazy price

[@amberjarvis2492]

Same here. I found one with the case and instruction manual for $8 at a yard sale in the early 90s. Ever since I parted with it I have regretted it.

[@RandomOscillationOfficial]

I guess we’ll eventually get a tr-07 in the future?

[@kylecrespo204]

Hoping so

[@Zeal808]

[@bumdittybrendan3710]

I guess not since it looks like roland out out a vst on the cloud. 🥺

[@rorz999]

I hope so, it is looking less likely by the day though

[@BDKabrini]

TBH. The TR06 Is Dope. Very easy to use and learn. And ITS 🔥

[@marcelomay4561]

I'm drooling like a patient in hospital. Is that a total of eight drums maximum forever? I would have preferred at least 16 so I don't get bored of them in a few years, despite the diverse range of modification that can be made.

[@ruskbask]

Cool! Can we have a TR-09 firmware upgrade with some of these cool things, like the mute not triggered by holding down a combination of buttons?

[@timshearer5092]

I would LOVE that. I missed out on the TR-09, and it kills me.

[@franmillers]

Ojalá pusieran una actualización en tr-09 con variación de instrumentos y distorsión !!! 🙏❤️

[@dxtrs_mnpltr]

Plus the probability function and distortion algorythm

[@franmillers]

Esperemos Roland nos ofrezca una próxima actualización así!!! En botón menú y para ajustar en knob tempo

[@NeoLudditevisons]

Yes please!

[@DirtboxJams]

i’m not sure about the tweaking options, they look WAY too complicated to reach and it seems you have to turn the pots for quite a while before anything happens. plus: menus, menus, menus. looking forward to try it myself though.

[@recloose2041]

Can say the menus are actually easy to navigate and the probability feature is super cool. Like AI for beat programming...

[@rorz999]

It's honestly not that bad

[@durion6]

Great!!! Do you know if i can trigger with this box ''Apreggio clock in'' on my old Juno-6 ?

[@GerryMoningkey]

I wonder what will happen if Yamaha somehow bring back their RX-5 drum machine (with the same sound engine) and turn it into MPC60 / SP-1200 style sampler.

[@manuelsirotti9340]

Cool..but the song mode ? Is possible on the his sequencer ? Thank You

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Why is there no solo with this unit? The TR-09 had a solo functionality, where you hit the enter button, while in the mute screen, to turn the mutes into solo and vise versa. The TR-06 doesn't do this. I fully expected to enter into the mute screen and then press the write/next button (like the enter button on the TR-09) to enter into a solo mode, but it didn't work. I think this is an oversight. If the TR-09 can have a solo mode, why not the TR-06? The functionality is identical and currently, the Write/Next button is doing nothing, while in the mute screen. Why not make it so this can change to a solo?

[@jimmywheelo]

I see they've ballsed up the implementation of the probability feature.

[@rorz999]

How?

[@PerAnkh418]

great synth. just bought one for the 808,03& sh101A boutique.

[@zeneixi]

Is it a limited edition? Are we getting the TR-09 again? Why TR-09 was a limited edition?

Exactly. The only one I and my band wanted and they limited it.

[@FattSunny]

This will probably cost twice as much as the analog counterpart of the Behringer Clone RD-6. Not sure if they will able to sell this..

[@aurelienvillie5176]

more features tho

[@palindrone]

+ the RD-6 has notably failed to capture the pitching and accenting of the original hi-hats (albeit there's a lot of variability between each TR606)

[@PorchBass]

You have to believe that ACB is as good as the real thing. It will be until ACB v2 comes out in a few years, at which point that will be even better.

[@PorchBass]

@@palindrone it's a clone. You won't need a software upgrade to get better modelling

[@palindrone]

@@PorchBass yes, a clone that will have long since broken. I love the sound of my TD-3 but these Behringer clones are hardly built to last. You get what you pay for.

[@robertogalatola9712]

It’s on backorder almost everywhere..if you order from guitar center they’re getting like 120 units by Oct.28th. All other online stores I can’t say.

[@garywalker7493]

This demo is misleading. There are clearly handclaps on the intro of this, yet the 606 did not have a clap sound....

[@recloose2041]

You are correct, but this is a demo for the TR-06 which does have additional sounds.

[@GerryMoningkey]

an upgrade is always better

[@MFPRODUCTIONSCHANNEL]

Sounds great!

[@matthewconnor6817]

I just don’t see the point. Roland could easily re-release the originals in their pure analogue form and make a killing. no doubt if they put a new TR-808 out at £2K - it would be sold out in minutes

[@zenobibonsai]

Check out the Beringer range they released.. the Behringer RD-6 sounds more like the TR-606 then Rolands TR-06 to be honest

[@ironinquisitor3656]

I'd like that too but I'd rather have these than not.

[@rolandglobal]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@volt7cooltangs701]

Shame it doesn’t sound like a TR-606. Great features though, nice demo. I’ve got an original TR-606 but am a fan of the boutiques (apart from the awful position of the volume pot). I’ll probably get one for a bit of fun. TR-08 still very good as well.

[@PorchBass]

Nice to see five trigger outs.

[@aumwermusicworks1979]

cymbals need definetly an update (the ability to vary the metallic deeper noise from the higher finer sounding noise) also in terms of a more shorter envelope ... same concerning the env goes for the hihats for more flexibility (imagine the ohh plays shorter than the chh, even a short cymbal) Bd well done, but it even could go deeper in pitch. btw i have the tr-606 and know what its capable of. I would have expected more out of this ACB stuff instead of adding extra delay n overdrive fx, at least me i dont need that kinda gadgets. Its all about the sound guys. Sell extra fx modules for the boutique, i do not care, but squeeze the most out of ACB at least !

[@ohstirfry]

All the effects should be add to the TB-03 in a firm ware update. Lol mute is 1000% better then the mute on the other boutique TRs lol

[@theMIDImaniac]

Why do I hear a CLAP in the intro track? How to select that sound because it's not selectable with the instrument-knob. ANSWER FOUND ALREADY: Apparently there are more sounds available as can be seen in this TR-06 vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqa4lGttgZp4q8k
