digman Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 http://www.akaipro.com/product/timbre-wolf#overview I'm not sure why they kept the Wolf in it's name when it seems like the Rythm Wolf is one of the most unpopular machines ever made.

oscillik Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 that has got to be the most ridiculous branding I've ever seen on a musical instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silent Member Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Isn't this just 4 of the rhythm wolf's synth parts bundled into one terrible synth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salem1976 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Say what you want about it, but the sequencing options on this pig could be very useful with other synths in a rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audioblysk Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 I've heard these have really weird tuning issues. Spend money and save the headache of buying shitty synth's. New and cheap is WAAAAAY worse than old and cheap right now IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kavinsky Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 so you guys wouldnt recommend this synth for the low budget pocket ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b born droid Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 At $500 it doesn't seem that low budget to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peace 7 Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 Garbage, buy might serve some purpose. For example: Making shitty music. As far as tuning is concerned, apparently this does or at least can stay in tune (?), but it takes 45 minutes or something like that to warm up properly. Still sounds retarded, though.

modey Posted August 27, 2015 Share Posted August 27, 2015 so you guys wouldnt recommend this synth for the low budget pocket ? No. For the same price, you could get a volca keys and a MIDI keyboard, or a minibrute or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Oh, to be fair, the one output per voice feature, as well as having completely separate controls for each voice, sounds pretty good (as well as the round robin style of switching between them when it's used in poly mode). It could be possible to get some pretty nice sounds out of it if used as a monosynth.. but then again, nothing can save it if it has tuning problems. If they did something similar using digital oscillators instead of shitty analog ones it'd probably be a lot better. Also, fake wooden panels? I hate that fake vintage shit, why can't synth manufacturers move on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haste Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 Ha, I was just reading all the 5 star reviews of the Rhythm Wolf on Sweetwater. It's the anti-backlash backlash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
