Thanks to some helpful info from one of you, I've learned that my unit
is very similar to a Roland TR-77. The size of the units are even
similar, but the circuits are, as expected, not identical. The TR-77
has more features - some that I'd like to add. There's an octal socket
on the back of mine that looks like it could be discrete outputs for
each sound or maybe triggers. I'm curious as to what could have been
connected there.
I wish my rhythm unit had each sound circuit marked on the PCB like on
the TR-77. I can surmise which is which based on the size of the
inductor bobbins, but that's about it. Some probing is in order...
It will be cool when I have it all boxed with the 25W amp and the
reverb unit.
Anyone who's hacked a TR-77 or a unit like it, I'd welcome input or
pointers to sources on the web. I like the tip on pushing buttons for
two patterns at once. I don't know yet if that will work on mine, but
I'm curious to see what comes out. The diodes on the pattern generator
are these weird black plastic blobs...
