gunnar Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 compared to other 606's mine has a really weak snare. i know people have said that no two 606s sounds exactly the same, but i think it's only a very subtle difference here's a recording i made and a snare wav from a 606 sample pack for comparison 606snare.mp3 279.59 kB · 37 downloads normal606snare.wav 21.52 kB · 35 downloads Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/22421-the-snare-on-my-606-has-a-really-thin-sound/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mrx Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 i hear a lot of backgroud noise in that recording that you made. Maybe your sound interface/recorder isn't good?

Chris Moss Acid Posted June 17, 2007 Report Share Posted June 17, 2007 is your accent on, turned up? i find on my 606 i can get a wealth of snare timbres using the accent and volume.... are you powering it via batterys or power lead? also try only at YOUR own risk.. i found this on the drumatix page OPen it up and look just below the volume knobs on the main circuit board: there is a white pot with a 3mm screwdriver slot that you can gently turn one way or another to mix in the snare noise. Turn the unit on and play a pattern with various stuff all mixed in and lick your fingers and connect random sections and see what happens. It's less than 9volts so you won't feel anything weird and the worst you'll do is erase sections of patterns or songs.

WARNING: Only do this when using batteries, not with the unit plugged in to a wall socket! I love my 606 by the way. Just thought I'd say that.

Guest ۞ Syntheme ۞ Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 it just needs a little more noise, follow chris's suggestion of adjusting the 606 internally.

Fahz0r Posted June 18, 2007 Report Share Posted June 18, 2007 have you checked for stuff like loose contacts or dusty pots on the circuit board? If you're not sure where to look, please ask someone who knows about this stuff to do it for you. Cause for the love and life of the tr606, it's vintage and very fragile Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Fahz0r's signature Hide all signatures Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/22421-the-snare-on-my-606-has-a-really-thin-sound/#findComment-466056 Share on other sites More sharing options...
