AudioThing has announced an update to its sample-based plugin emulation of the Sound Master Memory Rhythm SR-88, a rare analog drum machine from the ’80s.

Version 1.6.2 of the SR-88 Analog Drum Machine comes with iOS support, graphics brightness and contrast controls, and improved graphics memory usage. The update also fixes an issue where some parameters were not saving/recalling correctly.

The instrument features 5 classic analog sounds: Kick, Snare, Hi Hat 1, Hi Hat 2, and Cymbal, which can be pitched, panned or mixed independently. You can additionally shape the sound with the Low Pass Filter (Zero Delay Feedback), Overdrive, Compressor and Reverb. The sequencer lets you easily build patterns that can be dragged and dropped to your DAW/host.

SR-88 for Windows, Mac and Linux (VST/VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP) is on sale for 14.50 USD/EUR until March 15th, 2024 (regular 29 USD/EUR). The offer is available at the AudioThing store and from Plugin Boutique.

The iOS version is on sale for $4.99 USD at the App Store during the promotion (regular $9.99 USD).
