The Maestro Rhythm King MRK-1 Drum Machine, also affectionately called the "Funk Box" by Sly Stone, was an old drum machine unit used in Sly Stone's album "There's a Riot Going On". Similar to "rhythm units" installed in some Lowrey organs, the MRK-1 produces a much sought after drum machine sound from the 1960s/1970s. Bringing back that vintage glory, Forgotten Keys Maestro Rhythm King MRK-1 Drum Machine brings back that vintage electronic instrument into today's software-based music making environment.
The "Maestro Rhythm King MRK-1 Drum Machine" is a sample pack developed from the drum machine of the same name that has the following features:
All internal sounds with five round-robin variations, in 24 bit wav format.
Front panel sounds: Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Hi-hat Cymbal, Cymbal, Tom Tom, Bongo, Blocks, Clave.
Oher sounds not avaiable in isolation either from the front panel or the rhythm patterns: Rimshot, Hi-Drum, Lo-Drum, Lo-Drum Muted, Five envelope variations of Cymbal 1, Five envelope variations of Cymbal 2.
Combined sounds as used in the rhythm patterns: Blocks + Clave, Blocks + Clave + Lo-Drum, Blocks + Hi-Drum + Rimshot, Bongo + Rimshot.
18 rhythm patterns divided into three categories (Latin, American, Traditional): BossaNova, Samba, Bolero, Rumba, Cha-Cha, Mambo, Tango, Pasa Doble, Slow Fox, Slow Rock, Swing, Dixie, Shuffle, Go-Go, Disco, March Polka, Western, Waltz.
Samples have not been individually normalised as the original balance between each sound would have been lost.
Samples are mapped in (a sort of) General MIDI format.
The sounds from that rare analog drum machine come with five round-robin variations and include sounds that are not available from the eight-button front panel. All samples in "Maestro Rhythm King MRK-1 Drum Machine" come in as 24-bit files and are packaged with SFZ and Kontakt mapping files for ease of use.
Forgotten Keys Maestro Rhythm King MRK-1 Drum Machine is now available as an instant download priced at 3.50 GBP. A free 16-bit compact version is also available that has no round-robin variations and no extra internal sounds.
