Akai Rhythm Wolf

Post by RP_001 »

Looks interesting! After Roland announced some reproductions of some of their classic drumboxes, now Akai also introduces a new analog drum/bass machine with internal sequencer. Released in summer for a price of US199.99.

Rhythm Wolf Highlights:
• 5-voice analog drum machine and synth—authentic analog design that references
classic rhythm machines and synthesizers
• Legendary analog drum sounds—kick, snare, open & closed hi-hat, and metallic
percussion
• Synth-bass module—selectable square or sawtooth wave with classic filter design for
warm, deep basses and squelchy leads.
• Onboard 32-step sequencer—classic drum machine workflow for quickly laying down
grooves and melodies
• Six genuine MPC pads—responsive controls for sequencing and finger drumming
• Howl knob—custom distortion circuit for additional sound design
• USB-MIDI and MIDI In/Out—flexible MIDI connectivity for easy integration into modern
studios
• Gate Trigger—triggering via modular synths, vintage sequencers, or external sound
sources
• Independent audio outputs—dedicated outputs for the drum machine and synth-bass
module for precise mixing

made in china in an automated factory with near slave labor, how else?

ALL of these consumer, mass produced products are more than overpriced.

I wonder is it really analog or is it physical modeling?

Only one set of outputs for all the drum sounds (the other output is for the bass patch)...though it was hinted that it could potentially have individual outs if you void your warranty.
