Crapper roland drum machines

Im talking the digital ones, 626, 505, r8...

Worth picking up for cheap?

505 is bendable i'm told

I'm a spaz so bending is out of the question.

well, 707 is good and pretty cheap.

505 is good for bending that's close to being it.

606 is boobs good.

i own a 505 that i picked up years ago really cheap, i like it, i only use it for sampling and a couple of the effects.

Been thinking about getting a 707-- how useful is it compared to the 606?

how cheap... why not just get an electribe er ?

626 for under fiddy quid?

By the way i dont count 606/707 as crapper drum machines!

626 is pretty stupid unless you want to bend it, a lot of the crappier rolands have bad sounds are no good for syncing with stuff.

I have a 505. It's great as a MIDI trigger! :P

I really never use it, got it for like 20 bucks or something. I think it sounds pretty shit and has.. no options.

Really though, a nice MIDI interface for live performing ;)

I've a 626 along with a 606 and 707, and its a pretty mean combo. I use the 626 for its conga, shaker, tamb, hats, all sorts of stuffs. I had it bent for a while, but then just sampled all the bent sounds I needed and took all the bends out. Its pretty solid, and you can get it for under $100 (~50 quid) easy.

Safe yeah thats what i had envisaged, i know how they sound so no way am i going to be using one main percussion!

The R8 is fun!

yea, surely r8 is good

i have a cr1000 ,it's shite anyone wants to have it?

What, for free?

sure i suppose no one wants to pay for it, tis really quite horrible. i won't send it out though, pick up in amsterdam

Balls, it would've been a perfect machine to get my head round this circuit bending malarkey.

not really, you'd be better off with a 505 or an alesis hr16!

But no-ones offering them for free.

Although the hr-16 would probably be super cheap eh...thanks for suggestion.

rofl, looks rediculous! (cr-1000) I'd take a free one if I got the chance :P haha!

hr-16s are great. the sequencer is freakin' rock solid, and great resolution too. i've heard some amazing bends done to them too!

I fucking love my HR-16 but I never use it any more. Would let it go for cheap maybe, or would prefer to trade it for similarly amusing gear.

i been wanting to pick up a r8 for ages.. tho im only going to get a r8 mrk 2 otherwise you'll have to scout the rom cards for the r8 mrk1 which cost fuck loads anyways.
