Akai Professional Rhythm Wolf | True Analog Drum Machine and Bass Synthesizer

The Akai Professional Rhythm Wolf combines a drum machine, bass synthesizer, and step sequencer into one rugged device with a fierce, 100 percent analog signal path.

Take the beat off the leash with tweakable kick, snare, open and closed hi-hat, and accent percussion sounds. Use the oscillator with selectable waveforms and analog filter to create bass sequences that squelch and growl. Gate Trigger In/Out, USB MIDI, and 5-pin MIDI In/Out enable Rhythm Wolf to integrate with hardware synthesizers, sound modules, DAWs, and more.
