The Roland TR-606 Drumatix
All shapes are created in basic parts and modeled in Bryce and Vue Studio with the so-called traditional boolean technique. Then I brought all the objects together along with the textures.
About:
The Roland TR-606 Drumatix is a drum machine built by Roland Corporation from 1981 to 1984.
Sounds:
It uses analog synthesis rather than samples to produce sound. It imitates acoustic percussion: the bass drum, snare, toms, cymbal and hi-hat (open and closed). The sounds cannot be edited.MusicRadar wrote that "the snare snaps and cracks, the kick offers a satisfying thud, and the metallic hats sizzle".
Sequencer:
Rhythms can be programmed using the sequencer, which includes controls for accents. The sequencer can hold 32 patterns in memory, and patterns can be sequenced to create songs.[1] The TR-606 was designed to be used with the Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer, and can be synchronized using DIN sync.
Users:
The TR-606 was used by artists including the Sisters of Mercy, Orchestral maneuvers in the Dark, Skinny Puppy, Big Black, Autechre, Aphex Twin and Luke Vibert. Prince used it on the Purple Rain outtake "Velvet Kitty Cat". The electronic musician Kid606 took his stage name from the TR-606.
