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, 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.
