Sinon peut-être que c'est comme sur Aira pour les sorties, c'est à dire qu'en usb on peut avoir les sorties séparées ?

Pas de mention d'autre chose que du MIDI USB. A 199$ faut pas vous faire trop d'illusions les gars. Si ca sonne ca sera deja tres bien.

n'empêche, une sortie casque serait la bienvenue...

Hors sujet :Citation :Je dis banco si il y a les flancs en bois (sur l andromega, pas sur l escort )
ça peut s'arranger si tu désires des flancs en bois sur l'andro ET sur l'escort (à la base, on avait penser à de véritables lingots d'or pour les flancs du mega mais finalement ça faisait un pitipeu trop kitchounet et pis c'est lourd et pis le risque que le stand se brise et pis que l'andro tombe sur l'escort agenouillée juste en dessous était bien trop grand)

D'apres l'interview sur CDM oui on pourra modder les sorties, en faisant sauter la garantie evidemment.

The Rhythm Wolf is an integrated analog groove box – a 32-step sequencer, an analog drum machine, and a bassline synth in one. And it’s just $199 street. We’ve got all the details on the box, and should have more hands-on impressions later this week.
The drum machine
Along the bottom are six “genuine MPC pads” – the important thing being that they are, Akai confirms with CDM, velocity sensitive. (Though sequencing those velocities is greatly simplified. “Genuine” seems to apply to things that are pads, are suare, and are made by AKAI – but this is still way more than most drum machines give you even at higher prices.)
There are tune knobs for each part, too.
Kick, snare, hat (open/closed), and “percussion” parts. Percussion covers the “metallic” range – sadly, no clap here, techno/house fans. (Akai does promise “hip hop”-inspired sounds, so … well, we’ll have to hear that.)
The synth
The synth bass doesn’t give you too many controls, as it’s wedged into the side of the drum machine. But you do get a square or saw wave, plus a “classic filter design,” with cutoff and resonance, plus tuning and envelope controls.
The pattern sequencer
32 steps with swing. Select patterns, adjust tempo. You can also program in steps via an x0x-style layout.
In fact, all in all – and I want to look more into the functionality here – it’s really the sequencing functions that appear to set the Rhythm Wolf apart. Akai has gone with simplified MPC-style programming, with performance and step recording and even a copy function. That’s not in itself unprecedented, but it’s pretty eye-opening on a $200 box that’s both a drum machine and synth. Add in velocity sensitivity, and you can do things with this box that most inexpensive drum machines can’t (or certainly not without an external input device).
The I/O:
USB MIDI
MIDI in, MIDI out (nice to see that, absent on the low-end KORG range apart from mods – meaning you can plug in other inexpensive gear, too, like, oh, say a volca or a MeeBlip)
A gate trigger, so you can connect analog gear
Two separate mono outputs – one for the drum machine, and one for the synth
Howl at the moon…
There’s also a knob-controlled analog distortion. Effects and so on you’ll have to provide yourself (though having separate synth and drum outs should help), but distortion could be a nice touch as far as adding character.
I asked Akai Germany to clarify some features – and it turns out that the pads and sequencing really do add a lot.
CDM: Can you sequence external hardware with the 32-step sequencer? (either over MIDI, USB, or both?)
Akai: Yes. USB and MIDI.
Are the pads velocity sensitive?
Yes, the five pads below the instruments are velocity sensitive. The internal sequencer is able to handle three different layers (values).
There’s one mono output from the drums, one mono output from the synth?
Yes. But if you want to lose your warranty you might want to modify it to get more outputs
Ed.: I’m assuming that last bit is uno

On peut s en servir comme séquenceur externe
