Forgotten Keys releases VARI-64 Mk II for Kontakt
Forgotten Keys has announced the release of VARI-64 Mk II, a re-creation of the Hammond Auto-Vari-64 Mark II analogue drum machine from the early 1980s.
Every internal sound has been sampled (or multi-sampled) with great care, and all 64 preset rhythms and 6 fill-ins have been accurately programmed at the same 48 pulses per quarter note as the original.
Other features from the real thing are the touch-tempo and programmable Auto-Vari sequencer.
With the built-in MIDI file recorder, exporting the rhythms and playing them back from a DAW is easy.
Price: £12 + VAT with an introductory 20% discount for the first 14 days.
