OPen it up and look just below the volume knobs on the main circuit board: there is a white pot with a 3mm screwdriver slot that you can gently turn one way or another to mix in the snare noise. Turn the unit on and play a pattern with various stuff all mixed in and lick your fingers and connect random sections and see what happens. It's less than 9volts so you won't feel anything weird and the worst you'll do is erase sections of patterns or songs. There's a seriously fucked up snare sound in there if you find the right two spots to short out. Plus, you can bridge the chip that deals with the layered oscillators for the cymbal (ride) and augment various frequencies and also remove the modulation of the osc by the noise (at least this is what it sounds like, I can never get whole 606-schematics pages to download correctly from hyperreal and I gave away my first printouts...) I know all the technical AH'ers out there are just about my low-brow approach to tweaking my gear...but, hey, you gotta dance around the bonfire a bit to really appreciate the moon, not just map the craters out. ok, dumb analogy...
