Critic Reviews

Retrokits RK-008 is a pocket-size MIDI sequencer

engadget.com

The Retrokits RK-008 is a surprising powerhouse in a pocket-sized form, offering an impressive eight-track MIDI sequencer with versatile capabilities for both studio and live settings. While its retro calculator design adds a quirky charm, the standout features like quantization, overdubbing, and independent track manipulation make it a compelling choice for electronic musicians. However, the review leaves readers wanting more details on pricing and release date, which casts a slight shadow on its overall appeal. Still, for those seeking a robust MIDI control center, the RK-008 seems poised to deliver.
