The RK-008 is the most complete and versatile portable MIDI recorder as of yet. Record MIDI data like its audio: 8 tracks of 16 channel complete MIDI recording, realtime overdub, swing, quantize, transpose, shifting - and mixdown. By recording MIDI instead of audio you can transpose, quantize à prix réduit, change scales, note lenghts, etc without having to destroy your audio data.
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.
Features in short:
Easy recording of MIDI events
- Just the way youve played them. Notes, pitchbend, controllers, program changes,... the works.
16 x64K Songs
- Song memory is 64K like the old MMT8 (and sysex-dump compatible), but the RK008 has 16 songbanks of 64K each.Every song has 100 Parts and each Part can contain 1 to 680 beats length of music or the RK008 can be set without tempo at all.
8x16 MIDI Channels
- Each Track is able to record and play full 16 channels of MIDI and has its own length, quantize and swing settings. Unlike a sequencer the RK-008 tracks do not have restrictions on polyphony or MIDI channel (unless you set them) - Each track can contain data for all 16 MIDI channels if you want.
Non-destructive Part Modifiers
- Each part can be individually transposed, quantized, swinged, filtered or set to a different MIDI channel or even - to seperate RK-008 (or RK-006) outputs.
2x MIDI-In, 2x A MIDI-Out + Sync Out
- TRS-A MIDI connectivity. Tracks are routable and also expandable via USB with our 12-port RK-006 USB Host/Interface.
