An uptempo track, mainly improvised... I decided to try out the Akai Rhythmwolf, the allegedly worst drum machine ever! It has got so much bad press, so I just couldn´t resist buying it, when I came across a very cheap one. And as some others have noted too, it´s not too bad, just very limited. It makes a few things rather nicely and here´s my first try. The other gear is Moog Slim Phatty and Voyager, the pads are Roland Juno 60 and JD800, plus some mellotron samples. A plain and simple track, might re-do it one day...

Certainly works in this (very effective) context.

Thanks guys!!!  This is sort of me in an autopilot mode... but going forward, however slowly smile

Yup, very nice. Really digging the synth solos. smile

I'm kind of intrigued by this concept of a worst drum machine ever and that it was that quality that made you buy it. Well, it sounds good here I would say.  Some really nice synth sounds as well.

I love that you bought the drum machine based on its terrible reputation! Such a colourful palette of sounds in this.

Thanks!!!  A bit unimaginative sound, but always works on certain level smile

Haha! Thanks smile  I have a few synths etc. that have been universally damned... I probably get some strange satisfaction from wrangling something useful out of them...

Thanks! It´s almost all analog synths, except the fairlight type patch from a Roland JD800... they seem to go together very effortlessly.
