Tonepusher Unleashes the AKAI XR10: The Drum Machine That Refuses to Die

If you think you’ve heard every industrial drum machine worth its salt, think again. Tonepusher drags the AKAI XR10 out of the bargain bin and straight into the mosh pit, showing us why this forgotten box of PCM grit deserves a second (or first) chance. Expect crunchy samples, a whiff of EBM nostalgia, and a healthy disrespect for workflow snobs. This isn’t about pristine menus or ergonomic bliss—it’s about raw, punchy sounds that’ll make your speakers sweat. If you’re after the spirit of Ministry or KMFDM without remortgaging your flat, this one’s for you.
