No surprise this video hit my feed ... I was part of a team of four naive IT students who created a Virtual MMT-8 in 2002. I think it is still on Sourceforge as VMMR. The workflow was identical to the original and it was compatible with SysEx dumps for the same device. I still have an original Alesis MMT-8, an HR16-B, and a 1622 surface mount mixer (super thin for its' day). Great stuff. $0.02
I NEVER was as creativ in Songwriting again, as IO was back in the Day with only my MM8, some Midikeyboard and a JV 880. I tried to replikate this with several Methods (using just an Ipad as Sequencer for example), but it did not work.THIS PRODUCT IS MADE IN HEAVEN!!!! Finally. And nice to know that I am defenitly not thje only ADHD Fool loosing focus in my plugin Folder and Sample Libs ;-)
It would be great to see a company like Behringer release a clone of the original, sans the "one tap amnesia" default. I like the tactile feel of the OG version. To bring it up to date, there could be the addition of a SIM/USB, a simple GUI on the desktop for project Song/Pattern loading and archiving (thru USB), as well as a more prominent display, even double the height would be fine, if not still fantastic. (Please put a stamp on this a send it right away to Santa!)
Hi there, thanks for a great demo. I only have one question - in realtime recording can you switch tracks without stopping? Say record baseline on track 1 from external synth 1 then without stopping switch to track 2 and record pads from external synth 2? Many thanks!!
quick question , could you give me the name of the brand of the pencil holder at the top rightp of the screen I just to have one like that but forgot the brand ,but it was not koh i noor
So I gather that on the rk-008, “parts” represent the different song sections (verse, bridge, chorus etc) and then the “tracks” within each part, are the various different instruments and synths being played in each part?
8 Tracks form a „RK Part“. but you can also use different tracks within the same part for the same instruments as i did in this demo, so here we have different instrument parts within the same RK „Part“. Maybe „Parts“ is a little bit confusing at the beginning, but definitely super flexible, no matter how you name it…..
@@weeklywired4292 thanks for the reply! Can I ask you another question: do tracks have individual step length settings? Say if you wanted to do some poly metric stuff. Could you have 2 tracks within a part both at 32 steps, and, say, a bass synth track at 17 steps?

Thank you! You answered a lot of questions I had about this device.
Glad I could help!
Very cool little compact recorder. One thing I wish it had is a MicroSD card to save/export your sequences to.
Your rhyme Reminds me of stereo mc’s and mc 900 ft Jesus a little bit.
wow this is awesome, i would to use this as a sequencer for my microkorg! I have a beatstep but this thing is obviously different level.
Retrokits rk 008 seeme pretty awesome. Great video.
It is!😊

...its important to say that this machine is NOT limitated to the Tracks, as one might think. EACH Track can have 16 Channels!!! its 128 Channels!!!!
Love the inclusiveness with using English here… you should consider doing it more often 🎊🎊🎊
thanks a lot ;-)

it is a kohinoor versatil indeed…😊
