With six analogue drum voices inspired by the Roland CR78, no voice editing or beat programming and just six effects, each with a single editable parameter (and you can ‘only’ use three effects at once) one might ask why anyone might want a preset rhythm machine in the 21st century.
And then you play the Beat Friend. Play being the crucial term here. So. Much. Fun.
Here’s Tony working on our next sample pack which will feature some sounds and loops from next month’s prize package - a Soundgas Type 636P preamp AND audio.computer Beat Friend.
There’s still time to enter this month’s draw - simply buy one of our soundgassounds sample packs to be in with a chance of winning our dynamic duo of Soundgas preamps: a Type 636P and Type G. But hurry, the draw takes place this Thursday.
