Cherry Audio Introduces KR-55C Drum Machine

Tim Shoebridge video upload by Cherry Audio

"Cherry Audio's KR-55C is a supercharged, best-of-both-worlds software emulation that combines features from two lesser-known drum machines of the post-punk era: Korg's "Rhythm 55" KR-55A and KR-55B. KR-55C boasts all the rhythms from both models, for a total of 240 factory patterns, intros, and fills. Additionally, it adds 200 original patterns and kits that cover a wider range of genres. KR-55C's user interface shifts based on whether the A or B model is selected and includes extra pages that let this beatbox "step out" even further. It features a familiar X0X-style 16-button layout for step-editing and real-time pattern programming, as well as a song mode for chaining up to 99 patterns.

Available now for just $49 from cherryaudio.com and authorized resellers worldwide, KR-55C is designed to empower musicians, producers, and beatmakers with powerful groove-building tools at an unbeatable price."

Patching Panda Blast & Hatz V3 | Killer kick and hi-hat modules for Eurorack

video upload by Tom Churchill

"This is the second of a pair of videos I’m making about drums in Eurorack. In this one, I’m looking at two great-sounding analogue drum modules from Patching Panda: the Blast kick drum and Hatz V3 hi-hats.

In this video, I give a detailed overview of both modules and walk through all their parameters, then I build a couple of jams to let you hear them in context. As usual, you should find a few ideas for things to try no matter which modules you’re using."

Knas The Ekdahl Polygamist

You can find demos of the Polygamist in previous posts here.

"Super-rare, discontinued, legendary, semi-modular experimental noise synth

Knas made about 70 of these, then production was stopped. They are now super-rare, almost impossible to find. Great synth for live/improv sonic madness.

Overall condition is Excellent, only downgraded to Very Good because a couple of the plastic switch caps are missing. This does not affect function, everything is working as it should.

2 unique oscillators (Tilt & Multiply), 3 LFOs, Multi-pole Filter, plenty of patch points, ribbon controller, CV/Gate and MIDI control, easy interface with eurorack gear."
