Rhythmic Robot Audio is a UK-based independent developer that creates Kontakt instruments built from samples of vintage hardware — analog synthesizers, electromechanical keyboards, drum machines, and various oddities. The company was founded by two collaborators known online as The Professor and Mongo, and its catalog leans toward capturing the noise, drift, and idiosyncratic character of older gear rather than producing clean, modern emulations. Their instruments require a full version of Native Instruments Kontakt (4.2.3 or later).
The library is organized into themed collections: the Keyboard Vault houses recreations of vintage keyboards such as the SH Studio (sampled from a Roland SH-7), the Sahara Ensoniq Mirage library, and the EII Synthulator (Emulator II); the Beat Room focuses on sampled drum machines and beat boxes including the Boss DR-55 and Rhythm Box; the Laboratory contains more experimental, home-grown instruments built from unusual sound sources; and Mongo's Cupboard collects the more eccentric, circuit-bent and oddball creations. Other notable releases include FadeWheel, Cloud Chamber, Shortwave, Uproar, Spark Gap, and the Commodore 64 Sessions Deluxe.
Rhythmic Robot occupies a niche within the indie Kontakt developer community alongside vintage-sampling boutique labels, and their products have been reviewed in publications including Sound on Sound, Computer Music, and Future Music. They also offer a number of free instruments such as Test Unit, alongside the paid catalog.
Rhythmic Robot has 2 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Kontakt Instrument.
