AudioThing SR-88 review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The AudioThing SR-88 is a budget-friendly virtual drum machine that captures the essence of the 80s Sound Master Memory Rhythm SR-88. Priced reasonably, it offers authenticity and an easy-to-use interface with a built-in step sequencer. Users can tweak sounds using Pan, Decay, Pitch, and Volume controls, and apply effects like low-pass filter, overdrive, reverb, and compression. However, the sound quality may not appeal to everyone, as it can feel a bit 'small' and 'cheap.' While the SR-88 is fun and intuitive, the dated sound might not suit all modern music productions.

AudioThing SR-88: “I have the real thing [Sound Master Memory Rhythm SR-88, a rare '80s drum machine], but as a plugin, I love the raw sound and its simple programming features. Also the MIDI file drag-and-drop is brilliant.”
