Can This Be A New Brain? | RK008

[@anthonyrothercom]

The Retrokits RK008 is a future classic. Love my RK008.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Hey @Anthonyrothercom. Nix to see ya out here! I agree, it is a future classic

[@NeuwaveSynthpop]

My setup gets so dusty, even if I throw towel on it between use. That brush is brilliant! I relate to your search for "the brain" and ideal set up. It's a fun hobby but that dust, labeling and organizing cables and swapping gear in and out, well, that's ongoing. I like your set up. You've got a great groove happening. Thanks for sharing this!!

[@AnalogKitchen]

And thank you for watching! I like your screen name!

[@isaacwarne7758]

Really great video. Thank you very much for sharing SOOOOO many things in one video. Excellent and quality work.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Glad you like it! Stick around for more

[@slim_pkns]

Great music and a great time. Cheers!

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thank you Slim!

[@midi-ocher]

Hello Sir! Thanks for shedding light on the RK008. I personally started using a Toraiz squid as the brain of my set up but so far, o think I’ve only scratch the surface. Prior to using the Squid I was using an MPC Live II for that purpose. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and tips with the community. 🙏

[@AnalogKitchen]

Glad to help

[@precursor4263]

Jaa veel lof voor deze. Gebruik zelf al jaren de RK006

[@AnalogKitchen]

Die heb ik ook! Die gaat aan de 008 hangen van de week

[@JimmyCaswell]

Great video. Some excellent ideas. Many thanks

[@AnalogKitchen]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DomNom69]

19:00 if I recall correctly unless they patched it we actually can’t use the mpc’s looper live except if it’s the clock host, nbd for a lot of folks unless using an erm multiclock

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks for the tip. I’ll have to try it out

[@ripsniff9742]

Nice compact setup. Nice tune to.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks for listening

[@TexHex82]

Hi, I am actually digging the sequencer on my TR-909. It does take some effort, but it CAN trigger entire loops / samples and not just short waves. It’s also great for quick basslines, donks and FX. But I agree it can not be the brain on its own

[@AnalogKitchen]

Very cool!I wish it could be though. How do you go about it as a trigger source? Please advise!

[@TexHex82]

@@AnalogKitchen with pleasure man, I am a big fan of your work! 909 can only transmit over 1 midi channel but can do 16 voice polyphony! So it can be handy to control a sampler where you assign up to 16 samples to 16 notes… you can also do it with any synth or layer several of them on 1 midi channel by using 16 buttons as a keyboard. The easiest though is to use with a sampler - if the sample length is equal to or is a multiple of your bar length at given bpm then the only thing you have to do is assign each of the 16 samples to each of the 16 buttons on the 909) and it will run perfectly in sync plus have that 909 shuffle. I use it for parallel syncing to streamline midi routing in my system. Let’s say 909 is synced by midi or din to mmt-8 or rk008 in your case but it also runs 16 voices on its own from another instrument or sampler

[@KaiBurley]

Ooooh! I am so curious about this device, thanks for making this video

[@AnalogKitchen]

My pleasure!

[@mawolfe]

Thanks for using our music!!! Love your videos.

[@AnalogKitchen]

And you for watching

[@PnPModular]

Amazing video!! Used to do something similar with my squarp pyramid but this guy looks tight !!

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks!

[@ripsniff9742]

What's that black small monosynth you use for bass? Sounds proper.

[@mauriziomauricone]

31:50 Daar had je vroeger die Multiclock voor toch? Vroeg me al af waarom je die hebt weggedaan. Kan de RK006 ook per midi out de clock latency compenseren zoals de Multiclock dat kan (POS/NEG)?

[@AnalogKitchen]

The multiclock is er nog altijd hoor. Nu even een andere setup. De 006 hoeft niet te compenseren want het is puur een midi recorder. Das net iets anders als de multiclock. Die stuur verschillende clock dingen aan. De 006 neemt nootjes op (en kan ook clock uitsturen)

[@mauriziomauricone]

@@AnalogKitchen Klopt, de RK008 is de MM8 maar ik bedoelde de RK006, die kleine programmerbare transparante midi-hub, kan die wel clock compenseren?

[@ripsniff9742]

It definitely can take place with the alesis.

[@AnalogKitchen]

but then in a new school flow right?

[@EverettDudgeon138]

Can this record MPE information? For example can I record a sequence into the RK 008 from a Linnstrument and have it recognize and record the MPE modulation?

[@RetrokitsDev]

It can record any midi channel on a single track so it is possible - but - having MMT8 compatible memory blocks of 64K it will fill up pretty fast if you start recording MPE

[@AnalogKitchen]

Well there ya go!

[@romi2910001]

Hi, it looks pretty awesome, just want to make sure. Lets say if on my synthesizer i play with the reverb, filters, lfo, etc , it will record and play back all those midi cc automation changes?? Thanks

[@RetrokitsDev]

@@romi2910001 yes it can record all this, you can do it in realtime just recording and twisting knobs but you can also use the steptime edit and stack cc’s with specific timing.

[@AnalogKitchen]

Looks like someone's mastered the art of skipping straight to the good stuff! No time to waste!

[@samhughes3527]

@@AnalogKitchen not that the talking at the start want worth watching it anything, but it did take a long time to get to the part I clicked the video for. Peace

[@pauldemelto6650]

Been wanting one forever 😢

[@AnalogKitchen]

What’s stopping ya?

[@kisho2679]

does it beat the Circlon?

[@AnalogKitchen]

I don’t think so. Then again? I don’t have a Cirklon. Gassin for one though…

[@TheLordcasio]

Ha! You zoom in and still call it "black sky"...someone has darkness on the brain. Have you updated your RK008 firmware and checked out the web app? It is a game changer.

[@AnalogKitchen]

I have and yes indeed it is! I always have darkness on the brain! 🧠 Underground does that

[@els1f]

I just realized while you were using the claps in write mode- if there are 16 steps, then like 16bit there would be 65,536 possible rhythms, right? I kinda never thought about that before lol. Wait, theres 3 states in the 909 right? - so is that 3^16= 43,046,721 possible combinations?!?! Am i wrong, it's been a while since Maths meant anything but a Makenoise module🙃 Your videos man!🔥😭🤯Fr, thank you for every single one🙌

[@AnalogKitchen]

That’s some serious math 🧮 but also some serious possibilities 🤣

[@irzaip]

nice

[@AnalogKitchen]

Thanks

[@aronjackson971]

Please turn up the volume on your voice! Thanks

[@AnalogKitchen]

Sure, I'll crank up the volume so you can feel the full force of my voice! Just be careful not to wake up your neighbors. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@lars-fenin]

advanced mmt8 in a smaller version...:) (sold mine years ago)

[@AnalogKitchen]

It is, isn't it! I love it as I fast on it! Just making music and no other wishy washy bizznizz

[@alianshampoprisioners7056]

I like the size of mmt8

[@AnalogKitchen]

Which is rather big if you want to bring it alongside more boxes

[@keithlane4705]

Your next challenge is to find a midi controlled mixer to save more space ! *Behringer X AIR XR12

[@AnalogKitchen]

Hahaha, prolly not a B-winger though..

[@cvio_]

just got a cirklon and that is just next level haha. my elektron boxes behave like child toys in comparison. sequentix for the win. get on that waiting list👌

[@els1f]

Damn, that's heavy praise! I've always looked at the cirklon wondering. It seems really amazing, but I always kind of forget about it😬

[@AnalogKitchen]

Stop gassin me up. I’d love to have a Cirklon
