Solid, but expendable

This little guy churned out rock solid analog kicks, just as promised... but it just wasn't that fun to play with or integrate into a creative workflow. Having only one endless encoder shared between all parameters probably contributed to the joylessness...

The chance came up to trade it for a mint TR-727 here in Los Angeles, and (10 years hence) I haven't regretted that move for a second.

lets face it, the arp 2600 churns out rock solid analog kicks all day.... or R2D2 noises...

pkennethk

True, I definitely wouldn't have traded a 2600 for a TR-727...

jimmarchi1

just kidding... but I won't pay a lot for a kick synth, the korg volca kick is fabulous for under $100 used, the boss dr55 is highly 808ish in the kick dept and goes for pretty cheap even these days.... nd even soemthing like summit/peak can produce monster kick drums in the depeche mode and daniel miller 2600 style.

jimmarchi1

and good trade on the 727, underrated beat box for sure
