RITMOBOX - is a compact, analog drum synthesizer inspired by the drum machines/synthesizers of the 70s-80s with a built-in 8-step sequencer and MIDI.

It has 37 controls, 3 switches and 14 buttons with which you can have a wide control over the sound parameters, sequencer and MIDI. It has individual audio outputs for each of the five sounds and a mix output.

​Each unit is carefully hand assembled in Moscow/Russia using discrete through-hole components and OTA chips.

Love the look of this thing. The army green is different than most. Looks like it’s built well.

It sounds like Delia Derbyshire’s idea of what a 606 should sound like.

What are the differences to ADS-7 (mk2) in terms of drum synthesis?

Hmm, I actually really like the sound on this!
4 track 8 step sequencer? Any sequencer tricks?
Can u have different track lengths?

AVP replied to my questions super quick: no individual track lengths, no cc control over parameters. But it looks like it can do ratcheting / multitrig per step: From the Manual

MIDI IN
MIDI notes are transmitted in real time to 5 trigger outputs in the following order:
CH-48 note, OH-50, G1-52, G2-53, G3-55.
If MIDI CLOCK messages are received, the sequencer will synchronize with MIDI
CLOCK and will disconnect its internal clock. When synchronized to MIDI CLOCK,
the tempo control can be used to select the amount of MIDI CLOCK per step (1-
16). When the MIDI CLOCK message are not received within 1 second, the
sequencer switches back to its internal clock.
The MIDI START message starts the sequencer.
The MIDI STOP message stops the sequencer.
The MIDI CONTINUE message starts the sequencer from the last step.
