DESCRIPTION

Happy 2025 to everyone!!

- PLEASE READ-
The samples for these kits are not embedded, so be sure not to move the Retrix.ens file from the original location in the Retrix folder. This way you won't have to browse for samples. You shouldn't have to relocate anything when initially downloading this becasue the table framework is pretty good about finding them on different machines, but if you do please let me know.

i would like to get the year started with some fresh new tool to use. I wanted to make a variation of my drum machines that is specific to retro sounding kits, which was the inspiration for this. Retrix is a great tool for quickly laying down some old drum machine emulations on the fly without having to go too crazy building one and loosing momentum on a track.

Looking forward to some good stuff from everyone this year! Cheers

Hello Goremall, I had much fun, trying the drum sounds, but I also had the problem that there were some wav-files missing when loading the ensemble. It works, but I think, some sounds can not be used. I tried to locate and load a specific wav-file, but it did not work. Perhaps, it is a problem of naming the file (a little difference in spelling?).

Thanks man, yea you should only have to locate one sample and it will find the rest. I’ll update later this week, I think I know how to fix it. Be sure not to move the ens from the folder I have it in too.

Hey, I unzipped the rar straight to folder; the Retrix.ens in w/ the samples. On opening, however; the samples are missing, then on locating the file, repeats the same request for every single sample; instead of locating all by the first in file. Weirdness.

Thx Goremall, that does it alright...but I'd bet good money when I went to do that very thing last night the "Connect" tab was greyed out and unopenable. Appreciate all you do mate!

Thanks everyone!! @ Buzz. You can select the MIDI channel in the instrument settings. Just select the instrument in the edit window and go to the far right tab.

Great drum machine! Really nice to see a simple drummachine that just works like you would expect from a drummachine (getting a little tired of all the generative overcomplicated stuff). I did have to look for the 2 samples too but its not a big deal of course. One thing (like i mentioned in the FB group) is the CPU usage being on the higher side. Not a showstopper for sure. Having a lot of fun playing around with it!

Fun stuff! Is there a way to change the MIDI input channel to 10 instead of 1?

Glad you all are digging it! Those two samples are in the "Roland JD-990" folder if you need to find them. This could have been a download error from the site. I DL'ed and the samples were there. Hope this helps. BTW Brett, great job on your filter! Love all your work! Still have your effects I use often, mainly your distortion.

Wonderful as always. For me, it shows two samples as missing when opening: bigshot.wav and bryt-kck.wav
