As a *very* amateur jazz pianist the fact that you covered The Girl From Ipanema as your “go to” when you heard that bossa nova brought a big smile to my face! Great fun on the whole clip. I also never knew Kraftwerk would have used such a box, too. But I hear it now!
Tip from a guy who still owns a Maestro Rhythm King purchased over 35 years ago: you can get two or maybe three of the preset buttons to lock in place at the same time. Some surprises await you.
Sly Stone + MRK = Magic. It's all over his "Fresh" album. Wish you had gotten funky with it like he used to on a pianet/clavinet and organ, I know you could!
awesome. I grew up messing with the rhythms built into my grandma's Hammond organ, and so I've been in love with these corny old rhythm sections since, oh, 1985 or so when I realized I could push in MORE THAN ONE BUTTON and combine the beats into new, funky combinations. Elevator music machines are pretty much the best drum machines out there, if you ask me.
@@Doctormix Yessir My dad was the oldest of 12 Last year, My Uncle Timmy died 12 hours before my dad... my FIRST 2 Musical idols They died on the same day, ONE DAY before my birthday... I took that as a message to stop being a professional sideman, and start releasing MY music U are one of my mentors and heroes, so this meant a lot to me Thanks, my bro
ok so this rhythm box is actually recreating genre accurate beats! Which is rare for beat machines for so many years until recent years. I would have loved to meet the programmer for this thing. Not too many home organ style beat makers were this rhythm genre accurate! Nice!
The combination of your phenomenal keyboard skills and ever-present smile make this a joy to watch! Loved your covers of Girl from Ipanema and Neon Lights!
When you installed the Maestro Rhythm, I strongly wish that you played the Girl from Ipanima, and precisely what you played, you thought the same song. i LOVE
@@robfriedrich2822 never peeked in. Probably digitally controlled analog, had 15-some preset sounds, some polyphony as I could play triplets and melody. Drum kit could not be manually played in any way I knew. I had it between 86 and 89, and it was already second hand.
he was wearing red shirts for years- just to wear the right thing when a sudden Kraftwerk song appears out of a 60 year old box. Now that is dedication!
This reminds of me of my great grandmother's Baldwin organ. I used to be SO freakin' bored at her house, I'd just spend all day cycling through the drum machine on it.
I absolutely love these old analog machines, even the preset ones. I have an Auto-Vari 64 and a Roland TR-77. The 77 has faders for some of the instruments like Kick and Snare so you can drop them out and bring them back in in real time (think Genesis Duke Suite live.) Run them thru FX like compressors, distortions, delays and reverbs, and anything you can think of. triplet delays are really cool with drum machines. The best thing about these analog machines, that you can only get in hardware is that you can push multiple presets at the same time for way more combinations of beats and patterns. Sure you can run two or more instances in your DAW, but the immediacy of the hardware controls is like the difference in programming a Minimoog vs a Roland D-50. The retro sound/vibe is tough to beat. There is even a pedal that takes the audio in, and converts it out to midi clock, so you can use these machines to drive/sync modern gear.
Majestic and very smooth. I seriously doubt, there are many computer programs, out there that can do what the rhythm king can without alot of updates. Very nice.
That reminds me on the Farfisa-organ we had at home... The rhythmic-sounds were all made with transistors and these days... Was from mid 70s, i think, the organ...
Another great video! Thanks. I'm not sure Maestro Rhythm King was used in Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight. But my ears believe this babe was used in Blondie's Heart of Glass and George McCrae's Rock Your Baby. Also the sample was used at the beginning of Garbage's I'm only happy when it rains.👍🤘🎶
Yes , in the past i had a Fricke MFB 501 and i have done the same like Kraftwerk. I took some selvadhesive foampads coverd them in the Alufoil grab the hugest knitting needles from my mother and then lets jam. It was so much fun ! BTW. my Mother was very angry about the knitting needles because i have to make the cables on them .
Brings forth some memory when I was a monitor guy, live on stage. I'm thinking rad that sound gets digitally digital, and maybe do a video where you have a plastic tube zip tied next to your mic. You know, analog, for posterity.
I remember these drum boxes, usually the man at the bar or pizza place was using one. I was probably two or 4 years old. The times were calmer, people having chats without looking at their phones, telling stories. People used to socialize. An art lost i. time since new generations can't hold a conversation today. It was later on when something like the Roland R8 came and the Rolans D50 and then the M1 and the revolution started. You could find those drum boxes collecting dust in basements, trashed later, given to the poor.

I was just about to ask is there any chance of you doing a sample pack... Thank you !!
I'm getting a 403 error message 🤔
Vintage rhythm boxes + electric piano = Pure bliss
yes, this was very nice, and a little bit different from the usual youtube stuff
Yes I have an original Boss DR55

the moog sounds so THICK

wooow really? What happens then?
@@Oli1974 it creates an Einstein-Rosen bridge.
I had a drum machine and combined always some patterns.
I was really surprised he didn’t mention that
@@Oli1974 a certain effect takes place and happens to punchslap you into the fourth dimension * it's bananas trust me 👊🍌
I love that it looks like a cross between a Fender amp head and an 80s boombox!
The Maestro rhythm king + the Rhodes electric piano = pure bliss.
The rhythms of this rhythm machine are very classical, but you played such beautiful melodies on it that I listened with appreciation❤❤
Your enthusiasm is so infectious! Loved your rendition of Neon Lights.
Probably my favorite video by you! Really nice playing with an interesting drum machine. And the Neon Lights-cover was so beautiful. Thank you.
Claudio sober acts the way I do around synths when I'm high, lol. His genuine enthusiasm makes this channel what it is.
Sly Stone + MRK = Magic. It's all over his "Fresh" album. Wish you had gotten funky with it like he used to on a pianet/clavinet and organ, I know you could!
The Neon Lights arrange is absolutely amazing!!!
Hi Claudio! You always lighten up my day..! Your good mood is contagious - aside from all the good content you create...thank you!

In combination with your good mood and the iconic Bossa playing you made my day. Wonderful.
Qué chido!!! Cantando en español
Toda la admiración y el cariño para doctor Mix desde Morelia Michoacán México ❣️❣️❣️
Besame Mucho!!!!!!! loved it! The groove on these retro Drum Machines make you want to jam 🙂
This today was just magic, your joy is contagious.
Thanks for showing love to my uncle, Timmy Thomas!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
He's the reason Im a professional keyboardist now!
What?!?! Timmy Thomas was your uncle?!?!

There was no programmer. It's all hard wired!
The combination of your phenomenal keyboard skills and ever-present smile make this a joy to watch! Loved your covers of Girl from Ipanema and Neon Lights!
I love when you do Kraftwerk breakdowns !
I love how much fun u had with girl from ipanema. made me smile too!
Just have to pause for a sec after Neon Lights on the piano.... brought tears to my eyes it was so magical.
The cover of Neon Lights is amazing!
I love your channel dude. You radiate high vibes. And great musicianship
coolest upload ever from this channel. watched the whole vid with a daft grin on my face ..... more 😁
A piece of history, wonderful !!! ❤
Claudio, qué genial fue escucharte cantar en español! Hermosa máquina por cierto. Saludos!
Claudio, you have amazing talent, fabulous fingers and a voice.

Gongolissimo! ;)
'70s drum machines are a thing of beauty, and soooooooo much fun.
My 3 year old boy was loving this demo (and me too) . Was biting the couch with excitement (me not the boy)😄
The Bontempi keyboard I had as a pre-teen had very similar drum sounds and rhythm patterns.
Same technology I guess

Please record the full Neon Lights on your version ! It was amazing!!
And full length girl from ipanema…excellent rendition!

You play very nice ,sound vintage gold
Welcome to the Coconut Hotel Lounge Bar. Tonight, featuring the suave, smooth sounds of Doctor Mix until 1am. Love it! Cheers!
The piece you played on the piano sounded really great!
This reminds of me of my great grandmother's Baldwin organ. I used to be SO freakin' bored at her house, I'd just spend all day cycling through the drum machine on it.
You can hear so many tunes buried in that thing.
Not just the elevator riffs.
It's a time machine!
This Rythm Box Is Sooooooo Relaxing! After this video i went straight to Timmy Thomas.....😍

It's My First Time Seeing This And For It's Time It's a Pretty Neat Drum Machine.
The Kraftwerk bit was awesome.
Oh man, that Neon Lights improv killed me! Sooooooo cool!
Incredible Rythm Machine!
Bésame Mucho!♥ de Consuelo Velázquez!
Doc Mix always makes me smile 👍🏻
Love you Dr. Mix
I had a lot of fun. Excellent. Your Interpretation of Neonlights is great. Greetings from Germany 😊
Oh my, that simple but efficient interpretation of Neonlicht made me subscribe 😃 I like how you love Kraftwerk.
That was fun! Very entertaining!! Your Rhodes sounds amazing!!
Maestro + Moog + Rhodes + Jobim ♥
You should make an album with this drum machine. That cover of ipanema was awesome
Yep ditto!!!!!
Nicholas Payton did!
Wow, I haven't heard "Neon Lights" in ages....Thanks for that!
"It's an elevator music machine..!!" LOL bro... you made me choke with my beer...!!
i love you so much and i need those sounds in my life so thank you for having that link ready to go right away :)
back in the years...beautiful
Danke!
Thank you! ❤
Garota de Ipanema, what a great way to start playing with such great toy! It's always so fun to watch your videos. Cheers!
An absolutely cool machine that you can still have a lot of musical fun with today.
Yes i have one. got it from my grandad when he was a musician & still have it way cool man. Yous it in my mix 😎🎹🎤🥁🎸🔊👍
4:06 - love this music and song. Really lounge👑🤩
Loved your Neon Lights. Another great video.
Love this video!!! Bring back the 'old days'
One of my favourite drum machines(mk2)
If it was good enough for Sly Stone to call it the funk box, it's good enough for me
Everything comes out of the 70s smelling the same, trousers, shoes, games, drum machines and synthesisers.
true!
That reminds me on the Farfisa-organ we had at home... The rhythmic-sounds were all made with transistors and these days... Was from mid 70s, i think, the organ...
i just bought one of these a few days ago. Glad to see this thing getting a bit of attention.
👏👏👏👏
Claudio, I'm from Argentina and I can say that you speak spanish very well!!
5:06 love the flawless Segway into "mint jelly" 🤔👌.
¡Qué lindo aparato!! Y felicitaciones por lo bien que cantás en castellano. 👏👏👏
Claudio, great video! Great Music and laughs ! Grande!
Another great video! Thanks. I'm not sure Maestro Rhythm King was used in Phil Collins' In the Air Tonight. But my ears believe this babe was used in Blondie's Heart of Glass and George McCrae's Rock Your Baby. Also the sample was used at the beginning of Garbage's I'm only happy when it rains.👍🤘🎶
Phil Collins used a Roland CR-78
Greetings from Brazil, nice one with Garota de Ipanema
A real musician! Thanks for the video!
Wonderful rendition of Neon Lights with the Angel Choir voice!
Claudio had lots of fun as a solo-entertainer!
Noodling + talent + noise box = awesome entertainment👍🏻😀🇬🇧
Amazing, thank you!!!! 😍

Fabulosi. Neon Nights - The Kraftwerk. Super rendition.
I’m almost certain that first pattern was also used in “I’m only happy when it rains” by Garbage. Classic bit of kit.
That Kraftwerk at the end was magical!
70's electronics smell so good
Maravigliose Neon Lights, just drum machine, acoustic piano and vocoder vocals: it shows that Kraftwerk were top melodists too! 👍🤗
Nice video and an nice Drum Machine. Keep up the good work!
Jesus that planet shattering Moog bass starting at 3:50!!!!!
You make all of the information so fun! Much thanks!
This reminds me of the beats in an old organ my dad bought from a secondhand shop. I used to play my guitar to the beats lol
Just love your fun attitude
You just made my Aperitivo's playlist!
Just love the energy :)
I have a pretty extensive sample library for most all of the classic drum machines. Don't recall this one though.
I didn't know i needed bossa nova with moog bass but that sounds so good! Would love some loops from this box too!
