The Roland TR-505 is a drum machine and MIDI sequencer from the same family as the Roland TR-909, TR-808, TR-707, and TR-626. Released in 1986, the unit can be used to sequence short, punchy, 12-bit samples. The drum kit includes basic rock drum sounds similar to those of the 707, plus a complement of Latin-style drum sounds similar to those of the TR-727, which was similar to the TR-707, but it had Latin instruments instead of rock drums. Drum sounds: The three pairs that cannot be played simultaneously are cymbal crash and ride, rimshot and hand clap, and hi-hat open and closed. Modes The TR-505 features five basic modes, including the following: * Track Play - plays whole tracks (arrangements of patterns to form songs). * Track Write - sequence patterns into tracks. * Step Write - sequence patterns by stepping through each position in the pattern. * Tap Write - sequence patterns by tapping drums sounds in real time. * Real time - play patterns in real time by tapping the pads. Time signatures other than 4/4 can be programmed by changing the length of patterns and the scale, which actually refers to the signature ratio/swing. Midi implementation The unit handles MIDI quite capably. Each instrument can be assigned a level/velocity from one to five, a MIDI channel, and a MIDI note number. Individual pads also transmit MIDI data when tapped, although these aren't velocity sensitive. An accent can be applied to any position in a pattern and will affect all instruments triggered at that position by increasing their volume. The memory in the TR-505 can store up to 48 patterns in 6 songs. ==External links== * (Vintage Synth Explorer review ) * (TR-505 yahoogroup ) * (Burnkit2600 ) - Circuit bending and modding the TR-505 * (Polynominal review, mp3 demos and manual ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roland TR-505」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
