RetroKits RK-008 70s Wood Real Time Multitrack MIDI Recorder (with custom walnut wood sidepanels)

8 Multi-length Tracks of full 16 MIDI channels easy, unquantized MIDI recording just the way you’ve played them. Notes, pitchbend, controllers, program changes, sysex… the works! The most powerful standalone and synth independent arranger, combining the musician’s realtime playing skills with our unique stepTime sequencing input Available in two stylish portable flavours. The RK008 comes with two TRSA-DIN5 cables and one USBA-USBC cable. The RK-008 is our portable Multitrack MIDI Recorder. Inspired by the legendary Alesis MMT-8 (what’s in a number) it features the same simple workflow: Redo recordings or overdub, stack parts, mixdown, … It’s similar to recording audio but instead it records the MIDI core of your performance, allowing you to produce the sounds even after you’ve played your part. And where back in the 80s you needed to stop the MMT8 performance for those nifty operations like quantisation/swing or the transposing of recorded parts, the RK-008 can do this in a non-destructive way while playing: You can just experiment or revert without having to stop and commit these changes to hear them on your performance. Last but not least it pairs up perfectly with our RK-006 / RK-002 and can be that extra accompanying music brain to sketch musical ideas, add MIDI routing – or play on your side in a live hardware setup.
