450,- is way too much in my opinion.
i´ve got to admit that i totally loved the hh sounds respectively
the behaviour of patterns synced with DIN and mangling around
with the knobs. impossible to recreate that with single sound samples.
every bar somehow sounds a bit different, not easy to explain with words…
i sampled my personal standard patterns this way and i don´t miss
the 606 at all now. it was useful to trigger the sh 101 sequencer.
the bd is kind of disapointing/weak when not modified…
i don´t care about that price development. i´ve owned most of
that old roland stuff in the past and when i see some ebay offers these days
i really must laugh out loud !
maybe one day some collecters put them into cabinets … game over
