Hi - For sale is my vintage Roland TR-66 Rhythm Arranger in excellent condition.
The TR-66 is one of the earliest creations from Roland's drum machine lineage.
This iconic device paved the way for the renowned CR-line of CompuRhythm drum machines that followed five years later.
The TR-66 is not just a drum machine; it's a rhythm arranger, as proudly displayed on its front panel.
Inside this vintage gem, you'll discover 18 initial drum patterns featuring classic kick, snare, and hi-hat sounds meticulously crafted into rock, swing, march, and dance arrangements.
These rhythmic foundations can be combined with nine stylized rhythm patterns accessible through buttons along the bottom row, offering choices like Waltz, Cha-Cha, Bossa Nova, and Rhumba.
Mix and match multiple rhythm pattern buttons for a world of unique combinations, enhanced by A/B/Auto variation modes for all 27 patterns.
The creative possibilities are virtually endless!
Sonically, the TR-66 is a classic with its 11 pure analog sounds.
While they may not be extravagant, they possess a soft and warm quality that echoes the CR-series.
You can tweak the overall tone using the "Balance" knob.
Adjust the tempo with the giant knob, ranging from a leisurely 50 to a lively 200 bpm.
These vintage units are sought after, collected, cherished as display pieces, and sampled by their owners, serving as a timeless tribute to Roland's legacy in drum machine technology.
The TR-66 has even left its mark in music history, with artists like Depeche Mode and Roxy Music having embraced its distinct character.
NO TRADES.
