If this ain’t techno, I don’t know what is.
Jazz great Oscar Peterson on the Roland PianoPlus, TB-303 & TR-606, from a scan of an old 1982 Roland brochure. This shows you what Roland designed the TB-303 & TR-606 for, back in the day!
No disrespect intended, but have you ever heard of an Oscar Peterson 606/303 PianoPlus synth jam?

in my mind, the tb-303 belongs on the left, and the tr-606 belongs on the right
But you’re probably not using your 303 & 606 for jazz, like Peterson!
yes i can attest to the fact that is the jazz arrangement.
i’m a jazz organist, and in my x0xb0x is to the right of my TR-909.
Suit & Tie Guy – I want to see this in action!
Supposedly Peterson was quite the gearhead back in the 80’s. He used to do interviews in Keyboard where they talked at great lengths about the latest synths.
As far as I know though, he never actually recorded anything played on a synth!
