The Roland TR-55 was one of the first Roland products - it is a compact rhythm box with excellent analog drum sounds - in fact, the typical Roland analog sound. A great feature is the BALANCE knob, which allows you to cancel the hihat sounds on every pattern - or to mix them to the pattern as loud as you want.
Patterns can be combined - so let's be creative! ;-)

  • Do you know if anyone has figured out how to externaly program one of these so you dont have to listen to the presets?

  • I think, in general it should be possible to trigger them from external sources - with trigger signals. But I don't know it exactly.

  • where did you find it?

  • on eBay Germany.
