Cyclone Analogic Analog Drum Machines | Reviews THE PROS & CONS + New sounds added to the original 606 palette Much more flexible than the originals in both sonic and programming terms ‘Nuance AutoVariation’ adds timbral interest to patterns - No analogue clocking or triggering features Not 100% soundalikes of the originals, though very close in places Sound doubling for some instruments on TT-78 makes programming fiddly at times M ythology has always played a massive part in music making, be it blue
