lol what is up with embedding? that video was inserted 10 times if i entered text.

anyway, the above is an analog drum machine. it was fun for a week.

i’m waiting to see the guts for hacking. if it has individual trigger ins for each sound it could be fun too.

also, i wonder if it’s a rebranding of someone else’s like they did with their analog delay pedal

I love how separate outs in Akai talk equates to 1 mono out for all drums + 1 mono out for the bass part

right…gotta love marketing

dude! I had that mattel synsonic drum machine back in the day!

I have to hear it first… but it looks like my drum machine search is OVER

thank you akai pro!

This really looks like a bargain even just as a pad based midi sequencer. It’s certainly no elektron box but at those prices I think I’ll be picking one up. Still want to hear it first.

Looking at the picture of it, can anybody see a way to slide between notes? It would be a shame if they’ve missed that out.

In the video the guy mentions that glides can be programmed in the sequencer (at around 0:57)

With only a mono out for the drum kit, if I buy this I will probably just sample it and return it to Guitar Center in a day. Individual sounds over USB tho, and it would be a keeper.

PlayRecords · 2014-03-12T10:29:41.000Z

^ imagine everybody did that :S

Seriously tho the sounds ain’t gonna be anything new, so if the hardware doesn’t speak to you, just leave it at guitar centre.

Indeed. I bet darenagers already on the case.

subq · 2014-03-12T18:52:35.000Z

still no audio (on these videos)…what are the chances the thing doesn’t even have audio yet…heheh

bluemonster65 · 2014-03-12T19:08:16.000Z

From what the rep said someone blew the board with the wrong voltage. Ouch!

cosmosuave · 2014-03-12T19:16:10.000Z

That is something it will def need…

yeah…that seems a bit odd to me…but he said they are hoping for videos next week so perhaps we will hear it then

bluemonster65 · 2014-03-13T01:58:34.000Z

I certainly hope we get to hear it soon. It looks very limited, but that could be inspiring in itself.

subq · 2014-03-13T03:08:53.000Z

I doubt I will be getting one as I already have a volca beats…that fills my low cost analog drum machine desire…I have an AR on pre-order…that should fill most of what I personally need.

bluemonster65 · 2014-03-15T23:46:58.000Z

Delivery is now pushed back 'til fall 2014.

jayphonic · 2014-03-16T00:13:38.000Z

Honestly i am very happy about all the gear that is available to the market these days!

I am working now since a few years in the music instruments business and i see even these cheaper, but funny boxes as necessary!
Why?

Well if people start collecting more and more instruments, this will help the whole industry, means, the manufactures, the distributors and the dealers.
If everyone would just buy or download cracked software, there would be no progress.

After 4 days at musik messe, i have seen many good stuff coming… (Even stuff almost nobody knows right now…) and believe me, it’s all in our hands.
I will buy the rhythm wolf for sure, just for fooling around with it, and if i like it, i’ll keep it.
If not, maybe some younger guys buys it from me and gets convinced that usung hardware is the proper thing to have…
Amen

PlayRecords · 2014-03-16T00:28:49.000Z

About it being dodgy there’s no audio even tho they say it blew up… Yet rytm is fully functional and still without any PROPER audio samples. That’s arguably more frustrating, yet all these pre orders.
