Amiteque AR-110 Compact 6-Voice Analogue Drum Synthesiser

A compact analog drum synthesizer with classic Roland-like sounds, separate outputs, and volume controls for each instrument.

Inspired by the cult classic Boss DR-110 Dr Rhythm from the early 80s, the AR-110 channels that distinctive analogue sound in a pleasingly affordable little box. MIDI control and individual audio outputs give it the flexibility to fit into a modern studio workflow.

Supplier's Notes:
The Amiteque AR-110 is a compact 6-voice analogue drum synthesizer from Canada, designed for musicians who crave raw, punchy sound and a no-nonsense interface. Inspired by vintage rhythm machines, the AR-110 delivers powerful analog tone in a minimal, screen-free format - perfect for DAW, modular setups, sequencers, workstations, or any live performance environment.

Ideal for low-budget studios while providing high-quality sound for professionals, the AR-110 features discrete analogue circuitry for each voice, delivering a rich, immediate tone with excellent response. The kick is tight and punchy, the snare is crisp and noise-driven, while the hi-hats and cymbal have a sharp decay and metallic character. The handclap adds retro analog energy. Adjustable levels for each instruments allows users to fine tune each performance or recording.

This first production version includes core analogue functionality with fixed MIDI settings. Future firmware updates (planned for late 2025) may introduce assignable MIDI channels and Velocity-sensitive accent behavior.

Kickstarter units ship first, followed by standard distribution inventory.
