Ensoniq Releases RhythmBuilder Tool for MR Series Keyboards

ENSONIQ announces RhythmBuilder powerful creative tool for the MR series of keyboards - available free to all current ENSONIQ users who own an MR-61 or MR-76, and can run Windows 95 based applications. RhythmBuilder allows users to create their own Drum Machine rhythms for use in the highly praised built-in Drum Machine of the MR-series keyboards.

"Customers spoke and we listened," said David Netting, Marketing Manager. "Users wanted the ability to create libraries of their own drum patterns to enhance the fluid compositional experience the MR-series already provides, so we made it happen."

RhythmBuilder works with groups of Type 1 Standard MIDI Files, extracting the data from track 1, to combine them into a single rhythm. These combinations are groups into a single disk file with a ".rhy" extension, which can subsequently be loaded into a FLASH or RAM rhythm bank in the MR-61 or 76. Once loaded, your rhythm will behave just like the rhythms that came with your MR - except that it contains the users' music.
