Overview

A portable rhythm machine with USB MIDI for DAWs.

Practicing with a metronome keeps time—but playing with a groove keeps inspiration alive. The Medeli MR101S is a compact rhythm machine built for solo performers, songwriters and musicians who want portable drum accompaniment without the complexity of a full production setup. Featuring touch-sensitive drum pads, 48 drum kits, 100 preset rhythm patterns and the ability to create and store up to 100 custom user patterns, it delivers everything from quick practice grooves to fully personalized rhythmic backing. With battery or USB-C power, built-in speakers, USB audio/MIDI connectivity and an included foot pedal for hands-free control, the MR101S brings flexible rhythm creation wherever music happens.

Portable Drum Machine With Hands-On Control

The MR101S combines compact dimensions with an intuitive performance workflow designed for quick beat creation and live use. Its touch-sensitive illuminated pads allow real-time finger drumming and responsive pattern recording, while onboard controls provide fast access to tempo, fills, recording and playback functions. The included foot pedal expands hands-free control by allowing users to trigger fills, tap tempo and start or stop playback during performances. With support for up to 100 user-created patterns and extensive rhythm editing options, the MR101S offers far more flexibility than a simple practice tool.

Built-In Sounds, Groove Features and Recording Tools

Forty-eight onboard drum kits and 100 preset rhythms cover a wide variety of musical styles, making it easy to find grooves suited for practice, songwriting or performance. Swing control adds feel and movement to both factory and user-created patterns, helping rhythms sound more natural and musical. The built-in OLED display provides clear navigation while onboard reverb adds depth to drum sounds directly from the unit. In addition to pattern playback, users can record and organize full songs with up to 50 user song slots for more advanced arrangement possibilities.

USB-C Connectivity and Anywhere Portability

Designed for mobile music-making, the MR101S operates via USB-C power or four AA batteries, making it easy to use at home, on stage or while traveling. Built-in stereo speakers provide immediate playback without requiring headphones or external amplification, while dedicated headphone and line outputs support private practice and live connection options. USB-C also handles MIDI and audio transmission, allowing seamless integration with DAWs and mobile music apps for recording or hybrid production workflows. Lightweight, compact and easy to use, the Medeli MR101S delivers portable rhythm creation for musicians who want inspiration ready at any moment.
