Roland TR-606 and TB-303 Memory

Nauts!

Is any one familiar with the different memory types of TB-303 and TR-606?
To my knowledge, you need to keep the batteries in to preserve patterns - ok.

But when my TR-606 arrived some patterns were on the machine.

Also my modded T-B303 with the Sonic Potions CPU does keep the patterns - as well as my RE-303.

Is it only related to the build in RAM or also the CPU?

Thanks for your help!

Cheers

Hi flo,

my 303 & 606 do not keep the stored patterns when the batteries are removed.
Sometimes you can guess which pattern was stored but they are all corrupted.

My knowledge is that the RAM needs a support battery to not loose the content.
Some guys did this way some cool random patterns because the information is not completely lost durung battery removal.
