I have been an electronic music fanatic since 1992 but never really thought of producing until I scored a roland tb-3, bass station 2 and a korg volca bass a couple of years back off my boss of all people who was buying new gear so i got these cheap. Maybe not best synths on the market but for acid and techno sounds they are perfect. So that left drums and after lots of research I couldn’t go past the RYTM MK2. To say i love this machine is an understatement and an endless source of inspiration and creativity.Having never even used a drum machine before it was daunting jumping headfirst into a machine like the RYTM but I once you get the hang of the basics the rest comes with learning and there is so much you can do with this beast of a machine!
