Cyclone Analogic has created two companions to its TB-303 clone.

French company Cyclone Analogic has introduced two new clones of classic Roland drum machines.

The new models are clones of the TR-606 drum machine from 1981, and the CR-78, released in 1978, which was used on early synth-pop records from Blondie and Ultravox.

The TT-606 Drum Drone features all the same sounds as the TR-606, but adds clap and rim shot sounds. It also adds individual audio outputs for many of the sounds, a feature not included on the original model.


Performance using only the Drum Drone TT-606, amazing analog drum machine with advanced features, intuitive tools and inspiring sounds that work well with all styles of music.

499 euros? That's more than the real thing is going for
This looks like a psychotropic reaction. No wonder it's so popular...

And there's also this video... people are suggesting the tone knob was not set properly on the TT. I'm not convinced that accounts for all of the difference. Even still, I really like the clap on it!

In which non-existent European country do you reside? :lol:

Sounds pretty good to me. The tone parameters and simply being able to properly program ALL the sounds pretty make this a no-brainer replacement for the original.
Do you even post on vse bro?
