  1. It looks like an oversized PC with shitty little LCDs and no touchscreen for making unimaginative house tracks using hardware in place of vastly better software. FLStudio + a Novation with auto-assignment of MIDI costs what? Idiotic. This is for wankers that prefer brushed aluminum to features to implement creative ideas.

  2. Yeah, I don't know… I'm not sure why one would go for a giant, unwieldy hardware 'groovebox' these days. I think they are making the same mistake Arturia made with the Origin. If it's all just bloated software to begin with, I'll stick with my laptop.

    So, what is exactly this new groove machine?

    The Rhizome is a station of musical creation, VST compatible, which offers included several instruments and virtual effects, a complete mixing desk, many AUDIO/MIDI I/O and a multimode sequencer.

    The Rhizome is delivered with software developed by Feeltune. Our sequencer is the fusion between the vintage machine’s groove and the existing software functionalities; it brings functions such as step edit, real time record, grid edit, non-destructive quantization, play speed alteration, groove FX, looping, cue point… Our virtual mixing desk 64/8/2 brings advanced routing functions and much functionality, including the total recall automation. Our two samplers are determinedly directed real time and integrate numerous functions of synthesis and modulation. Its embedded system is powerful, as well as it sounds, with a sound card of a notorious brand.

    With our Rhizome host, you are not limited to 40 instruments and virtual effects delivered in the pack of origin. The Rhizome is compatible with most of VSTi/VSTfx plugins.

    Its interface is focused on play in real time: many controls (sensitive pads, back lighted buttons, push rotary encoders, functions buttons), large 24 bits visualization displays, adjustable stand and all the useful i/o (2 & 6 out analogicals, 8 i/o ADAT, 2 i/o MIDI, MIDI via RJ45).

    If you visit the Musikmesse in Frankfurt from 24 to 27 march, Come to see our booth (hall 5.1 B84) & discover this machine: demo and trial of the Rhizome on the agenda!

    Soon on our Website: News from the Musikmesse, more information on the Rhizome and its technical specifications. And do not hesitate to sign up to be informed of news and release.

  7. Unless they drop that at the $500 street-price range, I can't imagine why anyone would prefer it over a computer-based setup. Could they make the type any smaller?

  9. Exactly!!!! I prefer my ACCESS VIRUS INDIGO 2 than 100 vst synth. I tried the bests like ARP 2600, MOOG, Absynth, and many more. They are on my pc but never use them.
