for the RUN/STOP button without defeating the function of the front panel
RUN/STOP itself.
SYNC INPUT/OUTPUT
The SYNC switch on the TR-606 allows it to be synchronized perfectly with units
such as the Roland CSQ-600 Digital Sequencer, allowing total rhythmic freedom of
each unit while remaining in perfect tempo with on another. This interfacing uses the
exclusive Roland standard interface connection.
The TR-606 may also be synchronized to the Arpeggio section of the Jupiter-8
polyphonic synthesizer.
To Sync two units, connect a five pin DIN cord with the SYNC jack of each unit and
move the TR-606 SYNC switch to the INPUT position for connection with the CSQ-
600, or to the OUTPUT position for connection with the Jupiter-8. Remember that the
SYNC switch must be in the OUTPUT position so that the TR-606 will operate by
itself.
The TR-606 may also be synchronized to the Roland MC-4 polyphonic sequencer,
using either the TR-606 or the MC-4 to control the other unit. For more details, refer
to the MC-4 owners manual.
Battery Eliminator
The TR-606 is fully portable, normally relying on batteries for all internal functions
and to power the self-contained Headphone amplifier. To extend battery life, merely
connect a BOSS ACA Battery Eliminator to this socket.
"CAUTION" Don't connect any other brand of Battery Eliminator, as this could
damage the internal circuitry of the TR-606. [Actually, any 9V DC adaptor with
centre negative providing 150mA of current will work - ed]
Memory Back-Up
The TR-606 Rhythm Composer features a non-volatile memory which will retain
Rhythm Patterns and Track compositions when switched 'OFF' and disconnected from
any external power source. The TR-606 relies on batteries for it's back-up circuit to
protect these memories. Always replace the TR-606's batteries with a complete set of
fresh batteries when the RUN/BATTERY Indicator LED (G) either flashes or fails to
illuminate during the normal Run condition of the TR-606. If the batteries are
changed quickly, within one minute, the memory can retain the DATA. [Check out
battery.txt
for more information regarding this - ed]
Playing Rhythm Patterns
The series of sixteen SELECTOR Switches (K) at the bottom of the TR-606 are used
to select which Rhythm Patterns you want to play. Each of these sixteen SELECTOR
Switches (K) has two modes (I & II) which can be different from each other for a total
of thirty-two Rhythm Patterns, with each Rhythm lasting for one measure.
