RK008 Menus: ALT+7 - OUTPUT + ROUTING


video upload by Retrokits

"This menu is for routing the Tracks' MIDI data. Each one of the 8 Tracks on the RK008 can hold MIDI data (notes, pitch, CC's) for 16 MIDI channels at once but via the output menu you can reroute these:

1. MIDI Channel
By default it's set to ORG, meaning that there is no MIDI channel remapping done. Typing a MIDI channel here will reroute incoming MIDI from any channel to the set output channel. This way you can use the RK008 as a handy MIDI switchboard. Just by pressing a Track you can reroute to a predefined MIDI output channel.

2. MIDI Port
MIDI port selects the physical MIDI output to route the MIDI to. You can use the digits 1-3 to select a specific output (OUT1, OUT2 or the RK006 via USB), or press 0 to send to all. By specifying outputs you can potentially drive a whopping 48 channels of MIDI gear.

Bonus: You can download the little Dopplereffekt / Infophysix .mid file loop which I exported from the RK008 here to play with: https://retrokits.com/rk008/dopper_in..."

RK006 Polychaining: PolyMUX


video upload by Retrokits

"Here a small configuration demo for setting the RK-006 into polychaining MIDI Devices or MIDI Channels.

Shown here on a Digitakt but you can apply this on other MIDI devices as well of course. In this case samples are set to the same sound but if you're in the mood; of course you can experiment with polymuxing all kinds of different sounds :-)"

RK008 + RK006 - USB Expansion


video upload by Retrokits

"By request a little video about connecting the RK-006 to the RK-008 via USBSerial. This can expand the RK008 with a complete extra MIDI-I/O bus, adding up to 4 MIDI Inputs and 12 MIDI Outputs (+ the extra USB you can plug into the USB-hub)

(Of course it will also work to just connect the RK-006 to the RK-008 via a TRS stereo audio cable but then the inputs of the RK-006 will not be merged with the ones on the RK-008.)"

RK002/RK006 Sequencer Combo


video upload by Retrokits

"We already had the 'Split Brain Preset' on the RK006, but with the latest RK006 firmware there is also an option to add a MIDI FX chain into it. We use it to integrate it with our RK008 but it's also a perfect opportunity for the RK002 to do some magic.

Amongst the multitude of RK002 DUY firmwares here's one which turns the Korg Nanokontrol into a 8-step sequencer. Combined with the RK006 different port modes you can make a nice hybrid setup between MIDI and CV/Gate.

Here we mix&match the TR-606, Neutron and eventually the TR8s and Digitakt."

RK-006 Digitakt and Microbrute (MIDI / USBMIDI / PWM)


video by Retrokits

"Not the crispiest of videos but hopefully an informative one.

Apart from the iOS app, you can also access all settings via a browser. The web-editor is available in Chrome, Edge, Brave,... (but not Safari..)
https://www.retrokits.com/rk006/setti...

If you need to smoothen out the RK006 PWM Signal to a more analog style voltage we also have the PWM2CV converters for the RK006, to see them in action, also view our instagram posts like this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/CE7NCbShXjh/"

Retrokits RK002/RK006 Sequencer


video by Retrokits

"Although fiddling around with this sequencer #DUY​ on the RK002 / RK006 is simple and playful, under the hood it’s an intricate setup;

The RK006 is the master clock and hosts the nanokontrol in ‘split-brain-mode’ (which means the RK006 is divided in a left and right part) the incoming MIDI messages from the nanokontrol and the tempo are picked up by the RK002 and looped back into the other half; now the RK006 can send back the rk002 led commands for displaying the sequence on the nanokontrol and also the note sequence to the #d05​

We don’t call it split-brain for nothin’! 🤯😃"

RK-006 Circuit & Moog DFAM MIDI trigger example


Retrokits

"The RK006 USB MIDI Interface / Standalone USB MIDI Host ( https://www.retrokits.com/shop/rk006/ ) has even more features than other MIDI interfaces: Here you can see how you can easily trigger devices which don't have MIDI onboard."

Akai MPK mini, Korg NTS-1, Pular-23 - Friday Fun Synth Jam


sonicstate

Another in our occasional series where we take a random collection of instruments and other elements and create a musical sketch. In this episode, we are using the Akai MPK Mini MK3 - which is the latest MIDI controller in the MPK mini series, this is connected to the korg NTS-1 mini digital synth and the Soma Pulsar-23 drum machine.

To connect it all together, we use the Retrokits RK006 - which can be a stand alone MIDI hub and host. We're using the keys of the MPK to play the NTS-1 via the USB connections, then the pads to play the Pulsar-23 over a MIDI connection.
We programmed the controllers to match several NTS-1 parameters and set the Pulsar-23 to learn the trigger notes and a couple of additional controlling parameters.

Friday Fun Synth Jam - Argon8, Zoom MS70 CDR, Pittsburgh 3900


Published on May 29, 2020 sonicstate

"Another in our occasional series as we head into our 3rd month of lockdown. This time we're using the Modal Electronics Argon8M with OS2.0, the Pittsburgh Modular MicroVolt 3900, the Zoom MS70 CDR Fx pedal and the ROLI Seaboard Block and the Arturia Keystep. Together with the Retrokits RK006 USB MIDI host/router.

The ROLI is driving the Argon8 via the RetroKits RK006, allowing for direct MPE connection with no computer, the Keystep is running the MicroVolt 3900 which in turn is going into the Modal stereo line in. Argon8 then goes into the Zoom and out."

Superbooth 20HE: Retrokits RK006 - A Tiny Little MIDI Hub!


Published on Apr 25, 2020 sonicstate

"The Retrokits RK006 is a tiny little multi functional MIDI interface. It has USB, 2x MIDI inputs and 10x MIDI Outputs. However as all the MIDI Outputs are on 3.5mm jacks these can also perform as analog trigger/gate/clock or they can do DIN Sync/Sync 24.

The RK-006 is about 7x5x1cm in size (3x2x0.4″) which is very small indeed. You can order it with either just a USB dongle option or with all the MIDI cables to make full use of the MIDI i/o straight away. You can use it as a MIDI Merge and THRU box, per port MIDI filtering and multiclock processing, a USB host: HUB support, SMF playback and a USB device with Individually addressable OUT & IN ports. The small size however does mean that all your 5 pin MIDI DIN cables will need 3.5mm adapters…"

#Synthuary2020 / #Jamuary2020 - 10

#jamuary2020 Day 10 - Elektron Digitakt

Published on Jan 10, 2020 Oscillator Sink

See the Synthuary label for more. Synthuary because these are the Jamuary synth videos. More below.

"Oh wow this one was fun to make.

It has been a good few months since I last sat down with the Digitakt and, like its FM cousin, it remains just so inspiring and fun. This one was a real head-bobber while I was recording.

The project I was working in was the same one as my Digitakt set from last year, so the samples used are the same, but the result was quite different from anything in that set.

Anyway, I had a big dumb smile on my face the whole time I was working on this one, so I hope that comes across in the finished product."
