MB-606RE
Introduction
The MB-606RE is a re-edit of CYM/HH and BD/SD drum parts of the Roland TR-606 to be controlled via MIDI (midibox) or CV through analog-Sequencers , in a a Eurorack-designed panel.
Well known Circuit Mods from around Web & time are included by default.
FrontPanel
General Design
The MB-606re is part of the EuroLand Group… (606, 808, 909)
It can be used in 2 Cases:
Midi /CV+Trig
1. Midi: Use the MB-Modulbox Standartmodules, for Digital UI and CV+Trig-Generation
2. CV+Trig: Just Plug CV or Trig Jacks into the Analog Modules…without Midibox.
Use with Midi
MB-Modulbox Main PCB UI
- Access to System-Settings, Channel, NoteNumbers
- CV+Trig Out-Jacks for Euroland Drum Modules
MB-Modulbox 8xPotentiometer Module
When using the Euroland Modules via Midi, then there are some Performance Parameters aviable: accessable via MB-Modulbox 8xPot - PCB. Have to be activated via Software. (Menue Point)
- Velocity Offset (-+64 > with Center Postiton = normal) - 10K lin
- Random Kill (0=full Kill, 127 no Kill, Normal Position > 127) - 10K lin
- Velocity 2 TriggerLength (-+64 > with Center Position = normal 10ms, turn right:time inc by velocity in%, turn left:decrease%) - 10K lin
- Velocity Kill depending Note Kill (-+64 > with Center Position = normal > Full Spectrum) - 10K lin
- Global Accent: (0-127-normal 127) - 10K lin
MB-Modulbox 8x8 LED-Button-Matrix
Set CV + Trig Routing (some kind of trigger matrix), standard is 1:1 routing, so no need for this if fixed setup.
Use with Midi or with Analog CV+Trig
Here are only the Analog-Drum-PCB discussed, since all other Digital UI is based on MB-Modulbox Standart Modules, the MB-Modulbox Main PCB2 is special Variant, described here.
606 BD+SD, 606 HH+CY
To spare Space: we sandwich in 2 layers
- 1st PCB : BD+SD UI-PCB / HH+CY UI-PCB »> Breakoutboard+Potentiometer Boards
- 2nd PCB : Analog Circuits: 2n We get the Analog Circuits mounted 90° angled with vertical female socket and angled DIL Pinheaders for better heat dissipation

Analog Mods
- HH Noise: 10K or 50K lin or log,have to check , orginally 10K trimpot, only change volume not to absolutely silence.
- 6OSC-Gain: 50K log (not sure)
- CY-HH Ext: 50K lin
- CY-HH BPF-Resonance: 100K Stereo lin
- CY-HH BPF1: 5K lin
- CY-HH BPF2: 5K lin
- CY-HPF: : 50K log
- HH-HPF:50K log
- OH Decay: 1M lin
- CH Decay: 1M lin
- CY Decay: 2M lin (internet) Phats machine has a 4M log
- BD Tune: 50K Log
- BD Decay: 2M lin
- BD Tone: 100K lin
- Noise: 50K log
- SD Snappy: 100K lin
- SD Decay: 500K lin
- SD Tune: 1M lin
