KR-55C Drum Machine

KR-55C is a drum machine plugin from Cherry Audio that recreates the Korg Rhythm 55A and 55B, two preset-only beatboxes from the late ’70s and early ’80s. It packs 240 factory patterns, intros, and fills from both models, plus 200 extra patterns and genre-focused kits. The interface changes between A and B modes and includes X0X-style 16- or 24-step programming, song mode for chaining up to 99 patterns, and per-instrument tuning, decay, tone, and EQ. A mixer with panning, mute/solo, overdrive, flanger/chorus, delay, and reverb lets you shape each sound, while a bus compressor and limiter control the master. DAW-friendly features include auto-sync, drag-and-drop MIDI export, individual outputs, and full automation. It suits producers making post-punk, synthwave, new wave, and retro pop who want those classic KR-55 rhythms with modern editing and processing.
