got to be the 606

there are many different mods by different companies for the 606, my mate had a mod which effectively turned the kick into an 808 kick.

without wanting to offend coldfuture, the kick is the worst aspect of the 606, i personally found it unusable for techno,

analogue solutions do various cheap mods;

I don't really like that kick too much either. Having said that, Mr Oizo did alright with that 'Flat Beat' track. I read he never even used EQ or Compression on the drums.

Anyway, regarding the mods, how many exist for the 606? The one I was on about is made by 'the beast'. Read about it on Gearsluts I think it was:

I saw a modded 606 for sale on ebay yesterday. I think it was by the diabolical people.

They wanted $1,200. :shock:
