Critic Reviews

Cyclone Analogic TT-303, TT-78 & TT-606

soundonsound.com

Cyclone Analogic's TT series impresses with faithful recreations of classic Roland sounds, offering enhanced features like MIDI control, patch storage, and vibrant color customization. The TT-78 shines with its versatile sound palette and user-friendly interface, although the TT-606's superior hi-hats and snare may sway some. The TT-303 delivers authentic acid basslines with extensive pattern creation options, though its sequencing can interrupt play. Despite some minor drawbacks and the absence of battery power, these units stand out as portable and sonically rich alternatives to their vintage counterparts. Overall, a commendable effort in bridging classic charm with modern functionality.

The Cyclone Analogic TT-78 impresses with its blend of authentic analogue sound and modern features, making it a standout drum machine. It offers flexibility beyond the original CR-78, with comprehensive MIDI integration and parameter automation. While it lacks analogue clocking or triggering, its sound versatility and programming capabilities, including real-time tweaks and pattern variations, are noteworthy. Despite not replicating the CR-78's exact sound, it captures the analogue essence while expanding on tonal possibilities. A solid choice for those seeking a modern twist on a classic sound.
