Overview

Little drum companion from the yesteryear

Characteristic, harsh and metallic sounds that cut through the mix like butter. A whole spectrum of sounds is now at your fingertips – rumbling kicks, barky snares and completely unique, ear-grabbing toms and hi-hats.

An effect chain to bring out what’s best of the sound

The included effect chain will make your sound bigger and fatter straight from the output.

A convenient and inspiring sequencer

A rich set of editing functions and sound articulations along with the easy-of-use interface will fill your head with tons of musical ideas.

Get under the hood

For the first time since its release in the 80s, you can explore what the 606 would have truly been capable of!

The 606 was designed as a companion of the 303 silver box; it may look deceptively simple, but it’s a very versatile unit. It’s found its place in a whole variety of music genres, ranging from the 80s pop, through to modern EDM and experimental.

A dedicated channel strip for every drum sound

With EQ and compression per instrument, you can quickly tweak sounds to your needs. The 606 is very flexible in that department.

Final touches are so crucial

A capable master section glues everything together nicely.

MIDI map and trigger outs

You’ll find an easily manageable MIDI map and classically-inspired trigger outs; they’re the cherry on top.
