MKSREC 1 - 12-bit sampling drum machine from puesa

rame · 2025-06-16T10:19:39.614Z

i see them as different samplers. i want to get a MKSREC1 aswell, if one is gonna be available anytime soon. but i wouldnt sell the S2400 for it, like it too much.

More house on the MKS…Could play this thing for days

For you all who own one - how stable is the clock? I ask because it has a metronome out. So in theory you could record into the daw set to the same tempo and then line up the tracks based on the recorded metronome click track and be done. That is assuming there is no clock drift.

I had a lot of success doing it this way with elektron machines, and never had any drift.

I believe this is how many people record their sp1200 since they say sending it sync can change the feel.

Interesting!

I picked up a Nome 2 sync box and it does the job…Super tight with Ableton

BassesAndPads · 2025-06-21T15:03:52.230Z

Nice. I have one of those. You haven’t tried unsynced? That’s how a lot of guys did it since the sp1200 has the metronome out and then it’s running on its own clock.

If you try it out you just set Ableton to the same bpm before you track in. Would be awesome to see if it works and if you notice a difference. I’d do it myself but I have no idea when more will be available to buy.

I put an order in and should probably see it by early August. Pretty excited and fortunate to have gotten a spot.

Unless it turns into another avalon situation…

monk_1 · 2025-07-12T07:19:20.179Z

I think i might be on the email list.not heard anything.

nittygritty · 2025-07-14T03:13:28.921Z

Congrats on making the order. Out of curiosity, how long did it take to get that golden ticket email ?

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-14T03:20:08.203Z

Yeah how did that work out in terms of wait time? I’ve been on the email list around 6 weeks.

rame · 2025-07-14T07:25:28.880Z

ive been on it since there is a website (year or something like that). its a one man operation. it will take some time to move those units. if you need something right now, i would look otherwise.

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-14T15:24:08.785Z

I don’t need it now, just trying to get an idea of how long the wait will be. I think he just recently started producing these in earnest so I’m not sure that a year will be the wait time. Or maybe it will, seems like a mystery to most right now on how the release process works.

delikinesis · 2025-07-15T02:39:55.522Z

I signed up for the list even though I don’t think I need it with the S2400. I’m really curious whether the streamlined workflow and converters/filters are significantly better to me. Makes sense that it would be worthwhile but it’s still pricey. I wonder how many people have ordered it.

jones79 · 2025-07-17T07:16:15.282Z

Its a beauty. I got him to fix something the other week (midi start/stop not responding when it was in mute screen mode)…and fairplay he fixed it with a new firmware in a few days…Ive also asked about the possibility of having an asterix next to whatever channel and group are already taken with samples

Some filtered house on the MKS (and Abletons auto filter)

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-29T21:46:36.291Z

How much did you use Ableton filter compared to the mks?

jones79 · 2025-07-30T08:18:02.611Z

100% Ableton auto filter on this. You need the LFOs. MKS filters are more for sweeps or shaping a sound.

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-31T02:30:49.452Z

Cool. That’s a good workflow. Shape the sounds and add the lfo and movement in Ableton. jam out an arrangement on the mksrec while recording. Then maybe jam out some more automation with Push. Mix and done.

At least that’s how I envision using mine. Should have it next month.

jones79 · 2025-07-31T08:17:09.799Z

Youll need the Nome sync box (or something similar) to get properly sync’d up with MKS and Ableton (as master)…I like to get going with auditioning sounds in Lives loop mode, get a few loops playing nicely together, get them all in key etc, bit of EQ and then sample into the MKS…Get the groove going on the MKS and then sync up with Live for musical elements…Then track the MKS into Live

BassesAndPads · 2025-07-31T13:19:54.203Z

Nice. I have that exact box. Probably the best sync box I have owned.

Prints · 2025-07-31T14:26:46.094Z

Is this what you guys are talking about? I’ve been looking for the best sync box to record the MKSREC1 with my DAW.
