What's under RK008 button number 1??
Part Length, Time Signature, Scales and Part Name editing. In this video I'll show you a thing or two - or.. ehr maybe seven.

Note that the Flex MIDI Time Stretch and Thin Track / Zap Double Notes are RK008 firmware 1.17+ additions.

Getting rid of double notes is a real inspiration. The times I've sat editing a whole song to remove manually, taking hours. I'd love to know about forensic single note editing, too. Can't see where in the menu it might be.

any chance there will be an update for set tempo for individual parts? like a destructive mixdown save? it would be amazing to have the rk-008 play midi songs as parts or arrange a performance set in song mode without having to manually change the global tempo or reloading a song bank every time i want to start with the correct tempo. this would also allow for more complex song arrangements with varying tempos without having to resort to the very limiting stretch subdivision on certain parts :)

Part tempo is on our thinking list, the rescaling of notes is not really designed with that in mind, we did think it was a powerful tool for making for example fugue-like patterns, rescale to e.g. 6/8th and see what happens or just quickly play a chord progression in a one bar and quickly stretch it out to four.

@@RetrokitsDev if part tempo gets implemented, i would say goodbye to my mpc1000 as the brain of my live setup and it would make my bag 4kg lighter ! i've been loving going back to mmt8 workflow with this sequencer. i've missed it dearly

@@oopsgoth As of firmware 1.18 we have individual Part tempo implemented. It is an extra item under this menu actually (and can also be toggled with entering tempo value 0 in ALT+8) We'll await your order 😀!

Do you guys have a forum? Either your own or a sub. It would be nice to have a knowledge base and a place to ask questions. Also wondering if there is any plans to add some basic channel routing into the rk008. Being able to restrict a part to a port or single channel is useful, but many of my synths are multi timbral and I use using a linnstrument mpe, so being able to choose a subset of channels or remap from one to another without using another filter device would be super useful. I imagine that would be one of the benefits of using the rk006 as well, though it means having to disconnect it and reprogram it whenever you want to alter the config.

Great video, thank you! Why mix down after quantizing?
@RetrokitsDev
@RetrokitsDev Год назад
A mixdown can do various things, like ‘rendering’ midi Fx to track or combine tracks into one. For example you can use it for deleting events from memory or combine different quantize stages. You can mixdown multiple tracks in one and create new free tracks for adding even more separate midi recordings

Great little machine! Is it possible to have, in one part, tracks with different number of steps? Ex.: track 1 has 15 steps, track 2 has 8, or something else?
@RetrokitsDev
@RetrokitsDev Год назад
Yes, the firmware 2.0 has this : every Track can be a different sublength of the main Part length. You can enter Track lengths in ALT+1 (and select a track) or set a Track endpoint in the step sequencer (ALT+MODE) by pressing digit 9

Having trouble getting Bluetooth to work on the RK008 with the 2.0 update. It doesn’t show up on my iPad or advertise long enough in party mode or when on for it to be paired any advice would be grateful.
@RetrokitsDev
@RetrokitsDev Год назад
It should connect like you’re used to with Bluetooth, perhaps set the Bluetooth direction on the rk008 to ‘one way’ first (or disable ‘route’)so there is no bt midi loop on hitch can spoil things

Are “parts” on the rk-008 intended to be parts as in: verse, bridge, chorus, etc? Like song sections, with the “tracks” within each part representing the various different instruments/synths being controlled?
@RetrokitsDev
@RetrokitsDev Год назад
Yes that’s the idea, you can also name the parts so you can see what part of the song it represents. You can play parts ad-hoc but can also chain them in song mode. You can also play different instruments inside just one track but keeping them separate allows you to mute and transform instruments individually.

@@RetrokitsDev Can multiple different program change messages be sent out at the same time, on "step 1" of a part? Say you have 4 different synths connected at once, on different midi channels. And you want them all to receive a program change message on the "1" at the very beginning of a new part. Possible? Or can you attach program change messages to the beginning of the various different "tracks"?
@RetrokitsDev
@RetrokitsDev Год назад
@@schmapps1 yes although programming them with stepTime would be a bit tedious, if they are all on a different midi channel you can set stepTime to 1/64th step and program in a lot of PC’s fast after each other - ( or just send them with an external midi device on different channels) I think sending them out so shortly after each other will be fine. Other method would to do it on the exact same timestamp on different tracks and then mixdown those tracks to one track so you have the program change messages merged at the exact same time, not sure if you can pull them apart with track explode anymore, didn’t really test that …

@@RetrokitsDev Ahhhh, so you CAN set the program change messages at the beginning of different Tracks. And then just merge them all on to one Track if desired? Great! Also, when you say "or just send them with an external midi device on different channels" - does this mean that the rk-008 will record the program/patch change messages if I just flick to that patch on the synth at the beginning of the recording?

You have a full memory, the 'bummer dude' is well known in the MMT8 community ;-) Opposed to the OG you have another 15x 64K memory slots to work in though. Otherwise the 'thin track' on firmware v1.17+ can help you out slimming down CC data.
