Modal CRAFTrhythm review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

While the Modal CRAFTrhythm offers a fun DIY assembly experience and some interesting sound modulation options, its lo-fi audio quality and somewhat flimsy construction hold it back. The shared Tap Tempo/Shift button can lead to frustrating BPM changes, and despite being user-friendly, the convoluted interface may deter some users. Ultimately, it’s a playful tool that lacks the essential features needed for serious production.

Modal Electronics' CRAFTrhythm boasts an engaging assembly process and a satisfying hands-on experience, making it a fun and portable drum machine for musicians. The intuitive design, clear controls, and impressive sound options, including the ability to upload your own samples, stand out as major highlights. However, the absence of a screen may frustrate some users, and battery power is an optional extra rather than a standard feature. Priced reasonably, it offers great value, though its simplicity might leave seasoned producers wanting more. Overall, it's a delightful entry point for beat makers looking for flexibility and affordability.
