Roland TR-606 Drumatix

via this auction
"The Roland TR606 rhythm machine is the brother of the famous TB-303 Bassline. Both are classic analog techno machines that sound great. The TR-606 user interface and sound are somewhat similar to the legendary TR-808, but I happen to think the 606 is a lot punchier sounding. It's great for studio work, live gigs or just messing around. Since it's so small and runs off batteries, it's extremely portable too. Its pattern sequencer is extremely easy to use and a great tool for composing funky rhythms. It is an ideal tool for makers of techno, house, acid, industrial, synthpop and other electronic music but would also sound great in alternative rock, pop or other music.
