Got the Retrokits RK-002 for my Kaossilator Pro+ thanks to you and this video. It really allows for much more precision while using the Kaossilator Pro+. Many thanks for bringing this magical MIDI cable to our attention! You rock!🤘🤙

I use the RK-002 as my instant-IDM machine. I play a combination of triggered acoustic drums and electric drums and the cable goes from my drum module (Nord Drum 2) to my sampler-sequencer (Digitakt or MPC500). I use the RK-002 to add velocity dependent sample layers to my drums, to send midi CCs on certain drum hits. And as a way to find “magic sequences” in the drum hits that will then send program changes and sequence changes. This way I can build a framework for playing a jam on my drums only, switching to the drops and halftime basslines by playing certain fills, switching snares, and muting stuff when I play certain types of beats. It’s quite rigid really, but better than a simple loop for 30 minutes

I've been writing a RK002 script this year for Novation Circuit that adds Chord Mode, Random Patch Flip, Patch parameter randomizer, Splitting octaves into separate midi channels, and session chaining. RK002 is so versatile. I use the Tempo (45 - 55) and the bottom note to set which mode each synth is in.

Wow! You taught me about a new and interesting piece of gear. I think you might have sold me one. you should get a commission. Long rant, don't read unless you are bored: I've been shopping for a midi interface/router device for some time now. I currently have an iConnectMIDI4+. It's okay, it works. It's MIDI filtering and routing was a lot less capable than I thought it would be. And it also bridges between 5 pin DIN and USB midi fairly well. The biggest problem I have with it is that the software for configuring routing is super confusing with their weird port scheme. It also crashes from time to time. It seems certain devices can send a particular message sequence that tells it to crash. I suspect it was my iPad mixer app emulating a Mackie MCU. I switched to using Avid Control and EuControl apps (side rant: I hate AVID! Downloading the EuControl software is a Labrinthian exercise). My audio interface supports both protocols; that seemed to fix the crashing mostly. But I've been really disappointed with how few MIDI interfaces/router/processers there are nowadays. I know there are several DIY projects and Kickstarters out there, but very few professional products. And the ones that are out there are fairly small in capability or extremely expensive. With all the crazy microcontroller tech out there, why are there any big names just cranking out a capable box? Despite what many people say, MIDI is not dead. It is definitely showing its age. But with things like NRPN and MPE extending its life, MIDI is still the best (or possibly the most well-traveled) method for reliable, low-latency electronic instrument control and interchange available. One of its main advantages is that it is standardized and well known, anyone could easily implement it pretty competently. But yeah, there are a few companies that have had some rather "unique" implementations of MIDI control. I guess that's why we need RetroKits! :P

Agreed! Have you tried the Pajen firmware?

@@AudioPilz not yet... It looks super useful though

RK002 is a lovely bit of kit - fav feature is being able to use one set of controls for filter across all the duplicated poly tracks.

Ive always wished I could do more with a few of the KaosPro patches. This channel is so good for these sort of things! but has also given me pause... why do I own/ have I owned a version of most things that make it on this chanellll....

Thanks! I still haven't found the time to try it ;)

Reminds me to figure out something to do with mine. I ended up putting the unofficial firmware on my Sample and FM.

Maybe use it as a 303 seq, arpeggiator or generic euclidean?
