The PSP Rhythm DevTeam have released a new version of their very popular homebrew drum machine for the PSP, PSP Rhythm 2.0. “Inspired by classic drum machines such as the Linndrum and Roland TR-series, PSP Rhythm has been created to use the simple, yet effective 16 step style drum sequencer. PSP Rhythm incorporates the use of audio sample playback instead of drum synthesis.

Version 2.0 has been directly influenced by one of our favorite modern drum machines, the Elektron MachineDrum. The most significant change between ver. 1.5 to 2.0 is our use of "parameter locks" (as used by the MachineDrum). Parameter locks enable you to change the pitch, volume, and pan per step to create moving, changing melodies and effects. This control over your sounds will give you much more creative freedom and allow you to not only use drums, but to use instruments in your music. Song Mode has been enhanced with a mixer function, allowing you even more versatility with your song writing. The user interface has been made more intuitive and easy to use.”

Version 2.1 New Features

- Easily Skinnable using your own 32bit BMP image files

- Song Mode - Normal or Loop
- Text Color (For custom skins)
- Audio Channels (1-32) - Use this to tune your song for best performance

PSP Rhythm 2.1 Comes with a drum kit designed after one of our favorite musical artists DAFT PUNK. If you are upgrading from version 2.0 you can just copy your current banks files over the bank files in this version.
