Roland TR-626

” Very nice unit in good overall condition. The Battery cover is missing. I just simply added tape to hold. Works very well. The batteries do not power the unit. They are for storing information on machine. Unit is limited to internal memory however there are storage card made that insert into unit. There are several easy ways to work with this limitation. First, there are sheets that can provide the entire song bar by bar. There is an sample sheet in manual you can copy.

Second, the unit has midi out. The tracks or performance can be saved via midi then inserted into a DAW then away you go. Also, there are 8 dedicated out puts for instruments,Base drum, Snare, low tom, mid tom, hi tom, hi hat, crash and ride. There are also left and right Stereo outputs. Head phone outlet also. There is a input for pedal to Start / Stop. There is a Tape out / in for external storage. There is a Trig out. Now, There are Tape Sync in and out. These a 1/8 plugs.

Example: If you are limited on tracks. The sync noise can be recorded (ideally your song would be writted first) onto a track then played back. The playback (sync) will play track selected Stereo out or mono out. If track(s) are not an issue use the 8 dedicated outputs. When machine is set to receive sync noise it will back play back in perfect time if set up correctly. Sometimes we would not record drums to recorder. We would trigger drums bring into mixer then send all to CD recorder. ”
