Overview

Recreate the underground sound of the classic TR-606 drum machine with expanded creative features.

The Roland TR-606 software rhythm composer provides a modern take on the iconic TR-606 Drumatix drum machine. With the same instantly recognizable sounds and intuitive step sequencing interface as the original, this virtual instrument lets you tap into '80s-inspired beats and grooves. The software version adds powerful enhancements like individual tuning and decay for each drum, an expanded step sequencer and multiple pattern variations to keep things interesting.

Iconic '80s Drum Sounds

The TR-606 Drumatix defined the punchy, analog-style drum sounds of the '80s. This software version recreates those iconic kicks, snares, toms and cymbals using proprietary Analog Circuit Behavior technology to capture every nuance and detail. Tweak the internal circuitry to overdrive the sounds for extra grit and grime. These raw, mid-focused drums are ideal for genres like new wave, synth pop, vaporwave, synthwave and electro.

Intuitive Step Sequencing

The TR-606's step sequencer made beat creation easy and fun. This virtual instrument expands on that simplicity with individual lanes for each drum sound. Quickly build and modify patterns to find the perfect groove. Ratchet up the complexity with adjustable flams, sub-steps and soft hits. Each instrument also has its own last step and shuffle settings so you can experiment with polyrhythms and complex meters.

Evolving Patterns

Keep your sequences interesting with eight variations for each pattern. Tweak individual drums or the overall rhythm and groove. Drag and drop patterns directly from the plug-in into your DAW to build complete tracks. This flexibility lets you create beats that remain dynamic and compelling.

Integrate With TR Hardware

The TR-606 plug-in works seamlessly with the TR-8S Rhythm Performer and TR-06 Boutique Series hardware. Transfer patterns between the software and hardware and control the plug-in from the TR-06's front panel. Whether you want to design beats in your DAW or perform them live, the TR-606 software rhythm composer provides a complete and inspiring TR-606 experience.
