RetroKits - RK-008
- Order number: 230333
The RK-008 from RetroKits is a powerful real-time multitrack MIDI recorder in a small, handheld enclosure and a lovely homage to a cult-sequencer
When it was first introduced, the RK-008 caused quite a bit of a stir. This little powerhouse is a very compact and potent MIDI workstation for your pocket. That's something you don't see every day. The device can record pretty much all data that can be transmitted via MIDI (notes, pitch bend, controller, program changes...).
A total of up to 16 Songs with 100 Parts each can be recorded, composed and stored. Each Part can hold 8 Tracks of individual length and each Track can hold 16 MIDI channels to record and play, with no limitation on polyphony or MIDI channel unless you implement these in the settings. This is what sets the RK-008 apart from most sequencers!
The RK-008 records unquantized event information, so you can play back exactly what you recorded. Of course, if you want the RK-008 to quantize your recordings, that's possible too.
The RK-008 is delivered without battery (type: Nokia 5C). Please watch the video below to learn more about which battery to use.
