RK008 fw 2.33 (with Digitakt) New Features

[@dovedove9531]

I want to thank you at Retrokits for such a wonderful device. It is the brain of my live setup & it really nails the job.

[@RetrokitsDev]

You’re very welcome! 😊

[@roystroebel]

Awesome update, Gerrit! Thank you so much for bringing in new features CONSTANTLY. It blows my mind how many updates the RK 008 got since I purchased it

[@tehnik333]

amazing, well done! Would be great to have MIDI keyboard and the fingers more visible on the shot so we could see exactly what is played.

[@RetrokitsDev]

Yes I see it was a bit of a tight frame 😬

[@RetrokitsDev]

O crap I see now my whole Fx routing graphics have disappeared on this render - ooops… can’t replace videos on KZbin so here’s a new link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIu7fGCuiLpjj68

Nice!! 😊 Thanks for the update to a great device (combo), and this informative deep dive 👍🏻

[@defjeff2907]

Awesome! I'll be back to study this when I have time to update and jam.

Single note editing is an absolutely brilliant addition, I missed it from the MMT8. And the arp presets are genius. Thank you.

This is seriously the best update yet. So amazing and inspiring. Thanks retrokits. Any plans for other MIDI FX choices? A MIDI delay would be very cool.

[@RetrokitsDev]

We did fancy a MIDI delay too, but - must be said: there is a RK002 version which performs pretty nice with the RK008 / RK002 remote menu duy.retrokits.com/7a8635a6-975c-42fd-aa11-db230e65ffe8

Do the midi fx work straight out the box ie RK008 or do you need the RK002 ? Tried the ARP but doesn’t appear to change my input ie nano key studio? Do the effects kick in straight after selecting them or do you need to come out of the menu ?

[@RetrokitsDev]

It’s built into the RK008, setting the fx on a track output should work directly, but if you don’t hear a difference, make sure the fx outputs are set correctly as well (out_all for example)

[@warrenmusic]

Is there a current version of the manual with each firmware update?

[@RetrokitsDev]

The manual on the link below the description is the most current and also describes these new features. There’s a changelog on the rk008 updater page.

[@warrenmusic]

I just visited the website and answered my own question. Looks like the manual is updated to v2.31 as of now. Nice!

[@jayc9184]

is that a Nanokontrol2 with a RK sticker on it???? never clever

[@RetrokitsDev]

It’s the nanokontrol sticker layout I use for the RK002/Yamaha FB-01 editor 😬 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qIfEgJiInt6AqNE
