Rhythms of tropical sound systems, lofi street tapes, and late-night cumbia parties are packed into a compact desktop box ready for your studio and live sets. This playful rhythm machine translates classic Latin American percussion into a hands-on sequencer designed for immediate, musical results.
The Hanan Cumbia (HTR-1) by OFICINA DE SONIDO is a lofi, sample-based drum machine focused on four essential voices: kick, guiro, cowbell, and conga, with pitch control available on cowbell and conga for melodic and percussive variations. Its analog-style sequencing offers four patterns of up to 32 steps each, which you can record in real time simply by playing the pads. Dedicated play and rec buttons handle transport and recording, while combination presses let you switch sequences, reverse playback, erase patterns, or enter sync mode.
Built as a desktop unit, Hanan Cumbia integrates smoothly with other hardware thanks to a clock input for tempo sync and a tap tempo button for freehand timing. Power is flexible: use a standard Micro USB cable and charger or a 9-volt negative-tip supply common to guitar pedals. Hand-assembled and silkscreened, with a visual language inspired by DIY Latin American sound systems, it feels as much like a piece of local culture as a precise rhythm tool, inviting you to sculpt your own modern cumbia grooves and beyond.
